How It Works

When a caller asks a question:
  1. Agent checks if the answer might be in the KB
  2. Searches the KB for relevant content
  3. Uses that content to form an accurate response
  4. Cites information from your documents
This helps agents answer questions they couldn’t know from the prompt alone.

Best Practices

Keep KB Content Current

Outdated information leads to wrong answers. Update your KB when information changes.

Structure Content Well

Well-organized documents are easier to search. Use clear headings and sections.

Test Retrieval

Ask questions that should use KB content. Verify the agent finds and uses the right information.

Don’t Overload

Focus on information the agent actually needs. Too much content can reduce retrieval accuracy.
