Grounding of AI Copilot - is LIVE!

Make AI Copilot in aqua smarter by grounding it in your own knowledge base. Upload internal docs at the project or global level to generate more accurate requirements, test cases, and answers.

Introducing AI grounding with your own data in aqua

You can now make AI Copilot in aqua even smarter by grounding it in your own knowledge base.

Whether you’re working with industry standards or internal documentation you can now upload files to help AI generate more accurate, useful, and relevant outputs.

What is grounding?

Think of grounding like giving AI a cheat sheet.

AI Copilot is smart — but it doesn’t know your internal terminology, standards, specifics or what your team agreed last quarter. With grounding, you upload files, and AI can use them to give better, more tailored answers.

What can AI do with grounded knowledge?

When you provide context, AI Copilot becomes more precise and useful.

For example, it can:

  • Write requirements or test cases that match your industry, product, or internal standarts.

  • Use your project-specific terms and phrasing instead of generic wording.

  • Answer questions using your uploaded documents as a source of truth.

Whether you work in medical, finance, insurance, or tech — AI will reflect your world, not someone else’s.

How it works?

You can upload documents and reference material at two levels:

  • Global level: Available across all projects

  • Project level: Scoped to specific projects only

This allows you to give AI Copilot the right context depending on your use case and project.

You stay in full control — AI never scans your project data automatically. It only uses what you’ve explicitly uploaded in the AI Copilot knowledge base section.

Is it secure?

Yes. Files are only used for generating responses during your session. They are:

  • Not used for model training

  • Not accessed unless uploaded

  • Respect your project permissions and visibility

You can remove or replace files anytime.

File support and future plans

Currently, you can upload documents in:

  • .txt

  • .docx (only text)

In the future, we’re considering support for:

  • PDF files

  • Public URLs (so you can ground AI on external documentation or websites)

We're also exploring the possibility of company-defined templates, which would allow AI Copilot to generate requirements and test cases that follow your internal standards and formatting.

Access and trial periods

We want to make sure everyone can explore RAG and see the value it brings. That’s why we’re offering a free trial for all customers:

  • Public cloud users RAG will remain free to use in beta until 2026, so you can experiment and integrate it into your daily work at no extra cost for now.

  • Private cloud users You’ll have a one-month trial period once enabled after the request. The reason for this shorter trial is that RAG in private clouds requires dedicated infrastructure and data isolation, which come with additional costs.

Pricing information

RAG is planned as a paid add-on in the future. For public cloud users, we will announce the pricing well in advance before 2026.

For private cloud users, pricing depends on your individual setup and infrastructure. To get a tailored offer, please contact your Customer Success manager.

How to get access

If you’d like to use RAG, simply:

  • Reach out to our Customer Success team, or

  • Fill out our request form

Once approved, you’ll be able to explore RAG right away and enjoy it during the beta phase.
