3. Configuring Your AI Assistant in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will configure your AI assistant to respond effectively. Under the AI instructions, set the instruction type to “AI agent”. You can adjust the creativity level by setting the temperature, with 0 being focused and 1 being creative. For example, a setting of 0.7 balances both.

Once your AI assistant is set up and assigned, it’s time to test its functionality. Send a few test messages through WhatsApp to see how the AI responds. For example, ask questions related to your services and observe the replies.

Check if the responses are accurate and relevant to the queries. If adjustments are needed, you can return to the Pabbly Connect dashboard to tweak the AI assistant settings or knowledge base.

Ensure your AI agent effectively handles various inquiries, such as delivery timings, subscription options, and discounts. This testing phase is crucial for refining the AI’s capabilities and ensuring customer satisfaction.
