Answer from your knowledge¶
A Knowledge Base holds information your Agent can use to answer customer questions, such as product descriptions, opening hours and service policies.
Set up reliable answers¶
- Create a Knowledge Base for a clear subject or audience.
- Upload documents or import a website.
- Connect the Knowledge Base to the Agent and add a rule for missing answers.
- Test known, rephrased and unknown questions.
- Adjust knowledge search settings only after checking the source content.
Choose the right source¶
| Information | Where it belongs |
|---|---|
| Approved product facts and policies | Knowledge Base |
| Conversation order and behavior | System prompt |
| Current account or booking status | An authorized API tool or pre-processing lookup |
| Public information that changes frequently | A configured web search tool, if suitable for the task |
Compare test answers with your sources. Remove outdated documents and resolve conflicting information before using the Knowledge Base.
