Why Agent Knowledge Matters¶
Training your agent with your content is what makes it useful.
The Problem¶
Without training: - Agent gives generic answers - Can't talk about your business - Doesn't know your policies - Makes things up
With training: - Agent answers YOUR questions - Knows YOUR products - Follows YOUR policies - Uses YOUR data
Before and After Example¶
Question: "What's your return policy?"
Untrained:
"I don't know your specific policy. Check your website."
Trained:
"Returns accepted within 30 days. Items must be unused. Full refund in 5-7 days. Email returns@company.com"
See the difference? Training is the key.
