Generating Cached Answers

Cached answers can be generated in 4 ways…

By uploading a CSV filed with one column filled with the questions you want cached answers for.

Option 1: By the same answer being provided to a question 5 times

If a user asks the same question of your chatbot 5 times and gets a similar answer every time, the question and answer combo will automatically be added to the cached answer screen for approval. This will be indicated by a symbol in author column of a silloutteperson outline:

Option 2: By auto-generating them based on your selected knowledge bases.

Cached answers can be auto-generated for approval by clicking the Auto button in the top right. The AI will generate possible Q/A pairs based on the knowledge bases you have selected for your agent. Essentially, the AI is generating possible questions users could ask the bot and attempting to give it’s best guess for the answers. It is best to go through these answers and make sure they are to your liking before approving them and caching them.

...

Option 3: By Manually Inputting Them

Answers can be cached by manually inputting a question you want to cache an answer for, and the cached answer. Users have to manually input the answer they want provided for a given question and can add links to be surfaced every time the answer is provided.

...

Option 4: By Uploading a CSV

a CSV with a column full of answers you want to generate answers for. This method is perfect for brainstorming possible questions your users might ask in a different place and then uploading those questions, getting possible answers for them, and approving them that way. Think of it as the auto-generation method, but you must provide the questions.
