❌ Poor: "Shipping is fast."

4. Include Examples

✅ Good: "Our business hours are Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM EST. We're closed on major holidays like Christmas and New Year's Day."
❌ Poor: "We're open during normal business hours."

How Knowledge Base Works with AI Bot Training¶

Integration with Bot Training¶

Knowledge Base articles automatically become part of your AI Bot's training data:

Article → Training Flow:

   ↓
2. Article content added to bot's knowledge
   ↓
3. AI Bot can reference article in responses
   ↓
4. Users get accurate, up-to-date answers

Updating Bot Knowledge¶

When you update an article: - Changes are reflected in bot training - Bot responses update with new information - No manual retraining required
