How to Use AI Copilot to Generate Suggested Answers

Comm100 AI Copilot helps agents work more efficiently by providing real-time assistance directly in the Agent Console. During live chats, AI Copilot can surface instant answer suggestions. And whether you’re in a live chat or working on a ticket, you can switch to the AI Copilot tab to ask questions, refine wording, or get guidance—all without leaving the console.

To optimize AI Copilot’s performance and accuracy, you need to:

  • Add Knowledge Sources: Copilot generates responses from the Knowledge sources you provide. A richer repository leads to more accurate suggestions. To learn more about how to add knowledge sources for the AI Copilot, see this article.
  • Train Copilot with Unrecognized Questions: Teach Copilot to handle new or unanswered questions to make it smarter over time.
Note: Auto-suggestion is not available in the Email channel. In the Email channel, you can let the AI Copilot to generate draft replies. To learn more, see this article.

  3. Turn on the Suggestions and set the number of suggestions you want AI Copilot to show. You can allow up to 5 and the default is 3. Check the option Automatically add unrecognized visitor questions to AI Copilot Learning section if you want new visitor queries to be added automatically, depending on your scenario.

    You can also add a title before an article link in an answer. When agents use a link-type suggestion, the title text will appear to the visitor. Link-type answers can include Knowledge Base articles, cloud files, or webpages.

Training AI Copilot with Learning

After launch, AI Copilot continuously evolves by learning from new questions. These questions can be added automatically by the system or manually by agents.

You can add the questions from the Unanswered Question Groups page to the AI Copilot’s knowledge repository by creating a snippet.

To create a new snippet, click the New icon in the Operations column, enter the answer in the Answer text box and click Create.
