Training Your Conversation AI Bot

What is Conversation AI Bot Training?

Training your Conversation AI bot is the process of teaching it to provide accurate and relevant responses to customer inquiries. By building a comprehensive knowledge base using tools like the Web Crawler and Custom Bot Responses, you ensure your bot can handle a wide range of customer questions effectively.

Key Benefits of Training Your Bot

• Improved Accuracy: Access to relevant data sources enables your bot to deliver precise answers.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Automated responses reduce the need for manual intervention.
• Consistency: Customers receive the same high-quality information every time.
• Scalability: Support more customers without increasing your team size.

Using the Web Crawler

The Web Crawler tool allows you to train your bot using information from websites and online documents. You can configure it to extract data from specific URLs, entire website sections, or complete domains.

How to Add URLs to Web Crawler

Follow these steps to train your bot using website content:

1. Choose Domain Type and Enter Domain: Select from three options:
   • Exact URLs: Crawl a single specific webpage
   • All URLs with Path: Crawl all pages within a specific URL path
   • All URLs in Domain: Crawl all pages within an entire domain
2. Crawl URL: After selecting your URL type and entering the address, click the "Get Data" button to begin the crawling process.
3. Select Crawled URLs: Review the list of crawled URLs and select which ones to include in your training data by checking the boxes next to each URL.

Best Practices for Web Crawler

• Ensure URLs and documents are current and relevant
• Focus on commonly asked questions and important topics
• Use clearly structured content for better parsing

Using Google Docs for Training

You can train your bot using content from Google Docs by providing the document URL. This is ideal for detailed documentation, FAQs, or service descriptions.

Google Docs Requirements

To use Google Docs for training, you must set the document's sharing settings to "Anyone with the link" by:

1. Opening your Google Doc
2. Clicking the "Share" button in the top right corner
3. Under "General Access," selecting "Anyone with the link"

If you don't change these settings, you'll receive an error message when trying to use the document for training.

Custom Bot Responses (FAQs)

Custom Bot Responses allow you to define precise answers for frequently asked questions, ensuring consistent and accurate information delivery.

How to Add Custom Bot Responses

There are two methods for adding custom responses:

• Manual Entry: Click the "+ Add Q&A" button, enter the question and its corresponding answer, then save the response.
• AI Conversation Feedback: During live conversations or testing, use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down options below bot responses to provide feedback that refines future replies.

Best Practices for Custom Responses

• Keep answers concise and direct
• Anticipate different ways customers might ask the same question
• Regularly update responses to reflect changes in your services
