# Domain(Website)

Aissistant supports any publicly accessible domain as assets. Click **Workspace->Asset**s from the left side panel of the Aissist console, you can then build your knowledge base with websites.

#### What to provide?

* You only need to provide a domain name for Aissistant to work with all the pages in that domain.
* You can provide a list of sub-domains to exclude some sub-domains out of the scope;
* If you want to provide single web pages, please see [Web Page](/tutorial/turn-assets-into-ai/web-page.md) for more details.
* You can also submit the domain of your help center, whether it's hosted on Intercom, Zendesk, or another platform.

<summary>Webpage or Domain</summary>

Please note that you can add a URL as either a domain asset or a web page asset. The key difference is that for a domain asset, Aissistant will search the subdomains of the specified URL. In contrast, for a web page asset, Aissistant will only crawl and index the content of that specific web page, without following or searching other URLs linked to it.

<summary>Website content updates</summary>

For website assets, our system uses **Bing and Google** to search for relevant information and answer user questions. When you update your websites, the speed at which our AI receives the latest information depends on how quickly Bing/Google re-index your pages. This can sometimes be fast, but in other cases it may take several days or even weeks.

To speed up indexing, you can trigger a manual re-crawl using:

* [**Bing Webmaster Tools**](https://www.bing.com/webmasters/url-submission-api)
* [**Google URL Inspection Tool**](https://search.google.com/search-console/welcome?action=inspect)

Once the search engines re-index your site, our AI will be able to access the updated content.
