This guide shows you how to manage and use the AI Assistant. The AI Assistant is an advanced tool that reads messages received in the Comms Hub and suggests replies. It enables your agents to respond to various client queries quickly. However, unlike basic chatbots, the AI Assistant lets you retain complete control over the conversation by allowing you to edit your responses to fit the ongoing discussion better. To use this feature, you must first create a knowledge base consisting of pairs of questions and answers. Once you have completed these pairs, the AI Assistant will search for matching questions in the knowledge base and suggest possible replies. Each reply has a match percentage, which indicates how well the incoming message matches the question of the proposed reply.
