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.

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

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.
