Prepare Your Data Sources
Gather your training materials: FAQs, help docs, product information, policies, and past support tickets. Clean and organize the data for best results. Remove outdated or conflicting information.
Training from Documents
Upload PDFs, Word docs, and text files directly. The AI extracts and indexes the content automatically. Works best with well-structured documents that have clear headings.
Training from Websites
Point the chatbot at your website or knowledge base URLs. It crawls and indexes the content. Great for help centers, documentation sites, and product pages.
Training from Databases
Connect to your CRM, help desk, or custom database. The AI can pull live data for dynamic responses. Ideal for order tracking, account info, and inventory checks.
Testing and Refinement
Ask questions that customers would ask. Check accuracy and completeness. Add more data where gaps exist. Continuous refinement improves performance over time.
Customer Success Story
