🎯 For those who want to have a 24/7 agent available for your team

⏩ Content Summary:

  • Interact with intelligent agents that are always ready to answer your questions and provide personalized support 24/7. It’s an easy way to save time!

Imagine an AI-equipped agent acting as the guardian of your company’s knowledge. It can centralize information from various internal documents and organizational policies.

When employees have questions or need specific guidance, the agent delivers quick and accurate answers. This not only saves valuable time but also ensures that everyone has access to essential knowledge, enhancing efficiency and cohesion across the entire company.

Moreover, this same agent offers a feature that allows employees to automatically generate requests across different pipelines. This simplifies the request process and accelerates responses and solutions to employee needs.

In a dynamic work environment, this functionality is a valuable ally in maintaining uninterrupted operations and maximizing performance.

You can specify the conversation tone, level of detail, and the type of information you want in the AI’s responses. Feel free to add any additional information that your AI Agent should consider.

Knowledge sources

The Knowledge sources tab. There, you will select the data source for your agent, that is, the place from where it will extract all the information.

Train it with relevant data and allow your agent to learn and execute actions based on that data. You can train your AI Agent using internal documents, pipes and interfaces.

💡 Tip: You can add several knowledge sources to your agent. The more you add, the more robust and complete it will become.

If you want to add a document, click Add a Document. Upload your file (currently supports .pdf files only), provide a name for your data source, and describe what the AI needs to extract from this document. Then click Add.
