At Dante AI, one of the most frequently asked questions we encounter from our customers is: "How can I handle questions that are not in the knowledge base?".
Addressing this issue is crucial for maintaining a seamless user experience and improving the effectiveness of your AI chatbot. In this blog post, we will explore the best practices and strategies for handling unanswered questions, ensuring your chatbot remains a valuable resource for your users.
Identifying Unanswered Questions
The first step in addressing unanswered questions is to identify them. Regularly reviewing chat logs and transcripts from your AI chatbot is essential. By examining these interactions, you can spot questions that were not adequately answered or were entirely missed. This process helps in pinpointing the areas where your chatbot's knowledge base might be lacking.
You can export and identify your unanswered questions by going to your dashboard and following these 3 simple steps:
1. Go to the ‘Chat Records' tab in your dashboard.

2. Choose the time period in which you would like to identify unanswered questions. Then press ‘Export’.

3. Next, select only ‘Unanswered Questions’; choose your file type (TXT or CSV); and press ‘Export’.

Conversations that have had unanswered questions will also be flagged on the 'Chat Records' section like so:

Exporting and Answering Unanswered Questions
Once you've identified the unanswered questions, the next step is to export this list from your chatbot's backend or analytics platform. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to manage these questions:
1. Export the List: Use your chatbot's analytics tools to generate a list of unanswered questions.
2. Manual Review: Manually review each question, or collaborate with subject matter experts, to provide accurate and comprehensive responses.
3. Document the Answers: Create a document with all the answered questions.
4. Re-upload to the System: Upload this document back into your AI chatbot system.
5. Retrain the AI: Trigger the retraining process to ensure the chatbot incorporates the new information and can respond to those questions in the future.
By following these steps, you ensure that your chatbot becomes more knowledgeable and capable of handling a broader range of user inquiries.
