Sophia AI - Setup
CloudOverview
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:
-
AWS Bedrock configuration — creating an IAM user with the required Bedrock and Marketplace permissions and generating access keys
-
MongoDB Atlas vector index — setting up the vector search index on the
textSegmentscollection for semantic search -
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
