Your knowledge base should contain information relevant to your business, which the AI Assistant can use to answer customer queries. You can upload this information in .txt or .pdf format. After uploading, ensure that you link this knowledge base to your assistant.

Once the knowledge base is linked, your AI Assistant will be able to pull information from it to provide accurate answers to customer inquiries. This step is crucial for making your assistant effective in handling queries related to your business.

5. Finalizing and Activating Your WhatsApp AI Assistant

After configuring all settings and uploading your knowledge base, it’s time to finalize your AI Assistant. In the Assistant Interface section, modify the header and footer messages to personalize your assistant’s appearance.
