Question

Is anyone using the AI Receptionist knowledge hub?


When I did my onboarding, I was told that there were "no rules" (or guidance) for what info can/should be entered into a CSV file to upload to the knowledge hub but even after 2 weeks the AI is not able to correctly respond to information I’ve uploaded to the knowledge hub.

Hi! ​@EFree Please send me a DM with your account details so we can review this with our internal team. We want to ensure the AI is processing your uploaded information correctly and will look into this further.

Hello! I started using it this week. Any luck on getting it to correctly respond to the information you uploaded to the knowledge hub? What I'm running into so far is that it appears to give priority to any info you have in the FAQs over the knowledge hub.

Same here! Want to get my receptionist in production. What would help all of us:

  1. A sandbox to test what we’re building, not at the individual stage level, but in basically a production level sandbox. 
     
  2. The 500 character “prompt” (ie, company description) is way too short. It also may be better used as a traditional system prompt rather than an faq generating action (“You are a helpful knowledgeable and kind assistant for company XYZ… Always use {variables}. Never say {variable}. Do not insert stock phrases like “would you like me to transfer you to X”. Trying to build a capable assistant not a switchboard. 
     
  3. Please provide more information on the knowledge base usage, and how the AI references it. 
    we can create (some of us have this handy) our own faq; can the knowledge base contain instructions on bot behavior…tone/temperature etc? (More than the options for the default voice and style)?
  4. Will growing knowledge bases create significant latency in the AI response?
  5. are .md or .xml files usable in this feature? Those seem to be the standard with many agentic systems (as well as the current RC IVR config file format). 
     
  6. Are key value pair (FAQ for example ) lists better in a csv file or a text/pdf file?
  7. An off ramp for non English callers. There has to be a way for the agent to recognize non-English, and have its own path. 
     
  8. What benefits/limitations exist if the knowledge base contained a list of URL’s (that basically link to another knowledge base that relates to this one? Can the current version of AiR perform a real time web search like openAI, Gemini and Perplexity?
  9. it would be helpful to know the underlying infrastructure of the RC AI build. 

I can go on.. but if anyone out there has any answers advice or creative workarounds, would love to hear them!

Can fully relate with you on all points mentioned above. 3 and 4 are key for what I am working on right now. I have a feeling that having both FAQ/Knowledge base can sometimes overlap or interfere with each other, so would be very beneficial if RC could provide a more in-depth explanation of how both work. 
You also mention non-English callers, which I haven’t even contemplated yet, but definitely an important part of our Contact Center as approx 30% of the volume is from non-english callers.  
 

I will keep an eye on this thread to see if it grows as more RC users start adopting the AI receptionist and even better if we can have an RC representative pitch in to solve some of the questions/unknowns we have. 

I will start testing next week and will provide any insights that I may find useful.

 

Thanks!
