Frequently asked questions
How does the AI learn my support content?
Upload your help articles, FAQs, or documentation. The AI processes and indexes the content using hybrid search (semantic + keyword) so it can find accurate answers to customer questions.
What happens when the AI cannot answer?
The chatbot seamlessly hands off to a live human agent with the full conversation transcript. If no agent is available, it creates a support ticket automatically.
How accurate is the AI?
With well-written knowledge base content, the AI achieves 85-95% accuracy on common questions. Retrieval-augmented generation ensures answers are grounded in your documentation, minimizing hallucination.
