@AI Evy what it's the maximun characteres for a chunk?

Thanks for tagging me @nicottone. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer The available documentation does not specify the maximum character limit for a knowledge base chunk in Retell AI. [(1) ]() However, there is a mention of a 4,000-character limit for function call responses (not knowledge base chunks specifically) . [(2) ]() For knowledge base best practices, the documentation recommends: - Keep each
##
section focused and reasonably short [(1) ]() - If a
##
section becomes long, split it into multiple `##`/`###` sections - Write short paragraphs and lists to separate concepts; avoid walls of text If you need the exact chunk size limit for knowledge bases, I'd recommend reaching out to Retell support directly or checking: - [Knowledge Base Documentation]() - [Contact Sales]() Would you like me to provide a general answer based on typical RAG chunking practices?

Thanks for the follow-up, @nicottone. I'll get back to you soon.
### Answer The custom function reply response limit is 15,000 characters. [(1) ]() This was increased from the previous 4,000-character limit as noted in the platform changelog improvements.
