AI Chatbot


The AI Chatbot handles common customer questions automatically by searching your knowledge base and generating helpful responses.


How It Works

  • Customer opens the chat widget and asks a question
  • The AI searches your knowledge base for relevant articles
  • If a match is found, the AI generates a helpful response with article links
  • If the customer is satisfied, no ticket is created
  • If the customer needs more help, they are seamlessly connected to a human agent

  • Setting Up the Chatbot

  • Go to Settings > AI > Chatbot
  • Toggle "Enable AI Chatbot" to on
  • Configure the greeting message
  • Set the fallback message (when AI can't help)
  • Choose when the chatbot activates (always, outside business hours, or when queue is busy)

  • Training the Chatbot

    The chatbot automatically learns from your knowledge base articles. To improve its accuracy:

  • Keep articles up to date
  • Use clear, descriptive titles
  • Add relevant search tags
  • Review chatbot conversation logs to identify content gaps

  • Chatbot Analytics

    Track chatbot performance under Analytics > AI Chatbot:

  • Deflection rate: % of conversations resolved without human intervention
  • Escalation rate: % of conversations escalated to agents
  • Satisfaction: Customer rating of chatbot interactions
  • Top questions: Most common customer queries
