Build an AI knowledge center

The knowledge center hosts your brand-approved FAQ, policies, and key responses for use in AI-powered automations like smart replies and chatbot. Create your knowledge source files here, and then point your AI-powered automations to the files you want them to use. This helps to ensure more accurate and on-brand responses. You can think of your source files as your AI's brain. To keep it up-to-date, you'll probably want to revisit your source files as you find more questions to be answered or discover additional information you want to add to them.

Create and upload a knowledge source file

Your knowledge files must be in PDF or TXT format and be less than 1MB in size. They can contain text, links, and emoji. We currently do not support images, flow charts, videos, or tables. You can upload and use up to 20 knowledge files.

Knowledge file best practices

The following best practices are optional, but can help when creating sources for your knowledge center.

• Map out answers that will address the most frequent questions and start with them.
• Use Markdown format as a question or topic separator. For example, use # to separate and help identify questions and answers. You can also use these to create and identify categories of questions and answers, and then group them to keep your list tidy.
• Answer single questions with single answers whenever possible.
• Add links to refer customers to a specific webpage.
• Remove paragraph breaks and formatting to reduce file size.
