AI answers on your content

The most powerful feature of My AskAI is its ability to turn your help or support documentation and website into a live AI customer support agent that is available 24/7 to answer user questions.

How many pieces of content can my AI support agent use in its answer?

Your AI agent will look over all the help documentation, knowledge articles and content you add, and identify the 6 most relevant pieces of text from them to use to answer your question. This means that the answer will reference at most 6 different webpages, help documents or knowledge articles, but it may only reference 1 if all pieces of text came from the same source.

Do you answer based on multiple pages or pieces of content?

Yes, when you ask a question the most relevant text is taken from across all your knowledge and help articles at once to find the pieces that can be used to answer your question. This could mean that it answers based on a single article, multiple articles, or across 6 or more separate sources.

How long are the answers?

The length of answers varies depending on:

  • The knowledge articles and content you have uploaded.

  • The complexity of your question.

In short - it depends!

Can I train my AI support agent on my support tickets?

While it is possible to train your AI support agent on your support tickets on historic conversations, we strongly advise against it for a few reasons:

  • Agent responses are highly variable and inconsistent depending on the agent's tone, experience and demeanour, this will all feed into the AI's answers

  • Knowledge in tickets can very quickly become dated, an answer about a feature 1, 3 or 6 months ago may no longer be relevant today so customers will get poor-quality responses that may be inaccurate.

  • If you have a large volume of tickets then managing this knowledge can quickly become a very difficult task as you look through the thousands of agent responses to work out which are still relevant, and which you need to update.

If you want to train your AI on tickets, we recommend that you create a curated list of customer questions and agent responses as a 2 column spreadsheet (ideally added via one of our Connections so it will update every 24 hours as you update it) and add this to your AI agent's knowledge.

Ultimately, the golden knowledge source should be your help documentation and knowledge articles, as these will have been verified, reviewed, and kept up to date. Keeping them updated also means that the customers who don't use your chat still benefit from the updated knowledge.

We recommend that if you do want to use your historic tickets to train your AI support agent, you should use them to create knowledge articles using our Improve features.

Will it output page numbers in the references and sources?

Your AI support agent is unable to output page numbers currently, this is in part because we do not store any of the documents you upload to our servers.
