3. Configuring the Knowledge Base for Your AI Assistant

The next step in setting up your AI assistant with Pabbly Chatflow is to configure its knowledge base. This knowledge base contains essential information about your retail products, services, and policies. To upload your knowledge base, make sure your document is in .txt or .pdf format.

  • Upload a .txt file or a .pdf file without images (or up to 10 pages if it contains images).

Once the knowledge base is uploaded, your AI assistant will be equipped to answer queries based on the information it contains. This is crucial for providing accurate and timely responses to customer inquiries.

4. Testing Your AI Assistant with Pabbly Chatflow

After successfully configuring your AI assistant and uploading the knowledge base, it’s time to test its functionality. Use WhatsApp to send a message to the number connected to your Pabbly Chatflow account. For example, you can type ‘Hey, I need help’ to initiate a conversation.

Your AI assistant should respond promptly with a message like, ‘I am ready to assist you. Could you please share what you need help with?’ This confirms that the integration is working correctly. You can further test by asking specific questions about your services or products.

Ask about product availability, returns, or current offers. Check if the assistant retrieves accurate information from the knowledge base. Ensure it can handle multiple queries effectively.

5. Activating Your AI Assistant for Customer Interactions

Finally, to activate your AI assistant for customer interactions, navigate to the settings within Pabbly Chatflow. Go to the ‘Inbox Settings’ and enable the ‘AI Auto Replies’ feature. This will allow your assistant to respond automatically to all incoming messages.

You can also select specific contacts or groups to enable the assistant for targeted interactions. This flexibility allows you to customize how and when the AI assistant engages with your customers.

Choose the AI assistant you created from the dropdown menu. Save the settings to apply the changes. Test the assistant again to ensure it responds as expected.

With these steps, your AI assistant is now fully operational and ready to enhance customer support in your retail business using Pabbly Chatflow.
