Overview:
When enabled Live chat message automatic takeover, this feature allows the AI to automatically respond to customer messages in real-time based on you knowledge base information. It supports multiple communication channels:
- Live Chat
- Facebook Messenger
How It Works:
- Once your store is integrated with Willdesk, the AI will automatically pull data from:
- FAQ articles created and published in Willdesk.
- Product information from your store.
- Shopify store’s Terms & Policies under Settings → Policies.
- Public websites synced via URL (available with specific plans).
- Extracted by AI: The AI analyzes historical conversations to extract potential answers. These extracted answers can be reviewed, edited, and added to your knowledge base under the "In this knowledge" section.
- With the appropriate plan, you can activate all knowledge base data with one click, enabling the AI to provide accurate responses based on your knowledge base content.
