How to Use the AI Copilot to Generate Answer Suggestions

Introduction to AI Copilot Suggestions 

Comm100 AI Copilot can help improve agent work efficiency by providing them with answer suggestions in real time. When agents are working on a chat or ticket, the AI Copilot presents multiple suggestions for a question to agents. Agents can choose an answer suggestion that appears automatically or let the AI Copilot generate another suggestion.

  • Configure basic settings including matching score and suggestion number, and add synonyms to help the AI Copilot recognize variations of keywords in visitors' questions.
  • Train the AI Copilot with unrecognized questions.

Train the AI Copilot Using Learning

After being launched, AI Copilot continuously evolves and improves by learning from new questions. The AI Copilot learns from new questions which can be added automatically by the system or manually by agents.

  • If Automatically add unrecognized visitor questions to AI Copilot Learning section is enabled, when the AI Copilot cannot provide a suggestion, the question is added automatically to the Learning question list.

You can add the questions in the Learning page to the AI Copilot’s knowledge repository by creating a snippet. 

To create a new snippet, click the plus icon in the Operations column, then input the Snippet content on the New Content – Snippet drawer.
