Sophia AI - Setup

Cloud

Overview

Sophia is exclusively available as a managed service through RESTHeart Cloud in the dedicated tier. As a fully managed service, the SoftInstigate team handles the infrastructure setup — you don’t need to install or configure any software.

Prerequisites

  • MongoDB on Atlas — for document storage and vector search

  • An AWS account — for Bedrock AI model access (Claude and Titan Embed)

Getting Started

Contact support@restheart.com to request a dedicated service with the Sophia plugin.

The SoftInstigate team will guide you through:

  1. AWS Bedrock configuration — creating an IAM user with the required Bedrock and Marketplace permissions and generating access keys

  2. MongoDB Atlas vector index — setting up the vector search index on the textSegments collection for semantic search

  3. Initial context setup — creating your first context with a prompt template and knowledge base tags

After Setup

Once the service is provisioned, you can:

  • Log in to the Admin Panel to manage contexts, upload documents, and issue API tokens — see the Administrator Guide

  • Share the chat URL with your users — see the User Guide

  • Connect AI clients via MCP — see Sophia MCP Server
