# Collections

Collections group knowledge sources so AI retrieval can stay scoped to the right context.

In Katara's current platform framing, collections support the [AI Knowledge Base](/about/platform/ai-knowledge-base.md): they help organize approved sources and keep retrieval from becoming a loose search across everything an organization has stored.

## Why this matters

Collections help teams decide which information is relevant to a workflow. They can support more precise governance by making the retrieval boundary explicit.
