What is the Knowledge Base?

The Knowledge Base is where you provide your agent with information it can reference during conversations. This includes product documentation, FAQs, company policies, pricing information, and any other content your agent needs to answer customer questions accurately.
A well-populated Knowledge Base significantly improves your agent’s ability to provide accurate, helpful responses.

When to Use Each Mode

Use for critical information that should always be available. This content is included in every conversation.Examples:
