FAQs:

Q: Why did my AI provide a certain answer?

A: The AI will use facts and knowledge that it’s been trained on. If an answer was incorrect, it’s likely that the source training data was incorrect – the most common culprit is old or incorrect information found on the website.

Q: Q: How long does training take?

A: Depending on the size of a website, and how many pages the AI is trained on, it may take 1-5 minutes for the AI to begin using the new knowledge in its answers. Be patient after training a large website when testing.

Q: Can the AI be trained on all the pages on my website?

A: By default, only the home page of the website will be scraped. The AI can then be trained on up to 100 pages from a website. Choose ‘follow links’ or ‘sitemap’ mode for finding pages on a website to give the AI as much content as possible to answer questions for your leads and customers.
