Start with the essentials, explore the roadmap and find the right approach for your team.

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Turn everyday questions into useful knowledge.

Begin with your team’s experience. Collect the questions that recur in calls and support tickets, then write short answers using the language your customers use. Give every article a descriptive title so its purpose is easy to recognise.

Keep a simple review routine: who owns the answer, when it was last checked and what should happen if the policy changes. The development application supports manual articles and draft or approved states; website imports and live retrieval are not yet available.

01

One question, one useful answer

Explain the main point first, then add the details a caller is likely to need. Avoid combining several unrelated policies in one long article.

02

Keep public and private information separate

General service information can support a public answer. Customer-specific data needs a verified identity and an authorised live tool, rather than a pasted knowledge article.

03

Name the escalation route

If an answer depends on a person, explain which team handles it and what information helps them respond. Keep that route consistent with the agent instructions.

THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR ASSISTANT

A few terms, explained plainly

Understand the building blocks before deciding how to configure them.

Agent and knowledge base

An agent is a configured assistant with a role, greeting and instructions. Its knowledge base is the business information intended to help it answer questions. Draft configuration and article approval are separate from enabling a live telephone workflow.

BYOK and managed services

BYOK means bring your own keys: you configure your own provider credentials and pay those providers directly. All-in-one is the planned managed option. Both still need a verified, tested voice connection before callers can use the assistant.

Verification and authorisation

Verification establishes that a caller meets the business identity checks. Authorisation decides what information or tasks that verified caller can access. Knowing a customer name is not sufficient by itself to permit sensitive account actions.
