For instance, setting a temperature of 0.5 offers a balance between creativity and accuracy. This customization is essential to ensure that your AI agent aligns with your business needs.

3. Setting Up OpenAI API in Pabbly Connect

To obtain the API key, visit the OpenAI API keys page and click on the “Create New Secret Key” button. After generating your key, return to Pabbly Connect and paste it into the designated field. Click the connect button to establish a connection between your OpenAI account and the AI agent.

4. Uploading Knowledge Base for Your AI Agent

One of the most important steps in creating your AI agent is uploading a knowledge base file in Pabbly Connect. This file acts as the information bank for your AI, allowing it to provide accurate and business-specific responses.

Ensure your knowledge base file is formatted as a .txt or .pdf and under 90 MB. You can create this file using tools like Google Docs. After preparing your file, click on the “Add New File” option to upload it. Select your knowledge base and click the insert button to finalize.

  • Ensure the knowledge base contains relevant business information.
  • Use Google Docs for easy formatting and conversion.

Uploading this file enables your AI agent to give informed answers, enhancing user interaction significantly.

After setting up the knowledge base, you can finalize your AI agent’s design in Pabbly Connect. Customize the title, subtitle, and initial messages to create a user-friendly interface. You can also modify themes and colors to match your brand.

Once satisfied with the design, enable the toggle to activate your AI agent and click the “Save AI Assistant” button. This finalizes your setup, making your WhatsApp AI agent live and ready for interaction.

Additionally, ensure that the “Let AI assistant answer chat” toggle is enabled in the settings. Select the contact list for your AI agent and save the auto-reply rules. This will assign the AI agent to your contacts effectively.
