# Set up the AI Search spoke

Configure the AI Search spoke to index content from a third-party application.

## Before you begin

-   Activate the AI Search spoke
-   Role required: admin

## Procedure

1.  Create an external content schema table.

    1.  Navigate to **AI Search** > **Create Schema**.

    2.  In the field, provide the name of your schema table.

        For example, `My application schema table`.

    3.  Select **Submit**.

2.  Create an indexed source for content from your third-party application.

    To learn more about indexed sources, see [Indexed sources in AI Search](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/indexed-sources-ais.md).

    1.  Navigate to **AI Search** > **Indexed Sources**.

        |Domain|URL of the trusted domain. For example, `https://example.com`.|

4.  Create a search source for your new indexed source.
