What is the Knowledge Model?

The Knowledge Model is the core of how Chelle works. It's a structured representation of everything in your source material — concepts, their connections, and citations back to the original text.

Why a Knowledge Model?

Most AI tools generate content from general knowledge. The results sound reasonable but aren't grounded in anything specific. Chelle takes a different approach: it builds a Knowledge Model from your textbook, and everything it generates comes from that model.

This means:

  • No hallucinations — every claim traces to your source
  • No generic filler — content is specific to your material
  • Full coverage — nothing from your textbook gets lost
  • Traceable citations — you can verify any generated content

What's in the model?

A Knowledge Model contains three types of elements:

  • Concepts — the key ideas, terms, and principles in your material
  • Connections — relationships between concepts (prerequisites, related topics, etc.)
  • Citations — links back to specific locations in your source text
