Knowledge sources act as the “brain” of your AI Agent. By connecting various information repositories like documents, websites, and external systems, you enable the AI to retrieve accurate answers and perform informed actions when handling support tickets.

How Knowledge Works

When the AI Agent processes a ticket, it doesn’t just rely on pre-trained data. Instead, it actively searches through the Knowledge sources you’ve configured to find information relevant to the specific customer inquiry.
  1. Retrieval: The AI analyzes the ticket content and queries your Knowledge Hub for matching information.
  2. Synthesis: It combines the retrieved information with its general language capabilities to generate a precise, context-aware response or action.
