Concepts overview
Understand the five concepts that make Amarsia reliable, flexible, and fast to iterate in production.
Overview
Amarsia is built around five concepts: Assistants, Knowledge Base, Actions, Usage, and API keys. Together, they cover the full lifecycle from building your AI behavior to safely running it in production.
The goal is practical: less engineering overhead, fewer blind spots, and faster iteration when your product needs change.
Core concepts
Assistants
Versioned AI behavior with prompts, tools, knowledge, testing, and deployment in one workflow.
Knowledge base
Your assistant's context layer for documents and business memory, processed for high-answer quality.
Actions
Isolated tools your assistant can execute, built from templates or imported via MCP.
Usage
Detailed logs, traces, and token metrics so you can debug, improve, and control costs.
API key
The credential required to run deployed assistants and secure every integration.
Outcome-driven view
| What you need | Concept that solves it |
|---|---|
| Reliable AI behavior you can update without app rewrites | Assistants |
| Better factual responses from your own content | Knowledge base |
| Real-world actions like API calls, database queries, and notifications | Actions |
| Visibility into failures, reasoning, and tool runs | Usage |
| Secure access from your product or backend | API key |
