CINNOX Q&A bots are AI-powered Virtual Assistants that give accurate and relevant answers to user questions. They use a knowledge base (KB) as their data source of information and follow custom prompts (instructions) to understand and retrieve the best answers for each query.

The Chatbot's data source can be the Enterprise's product and service details, frequently asked questions (FAQ), marketing content, and other relevant content.

The Chatbot's custom prompts are clear and concise instructions as if talking to the Bot about its roles, responsibilities, and scopes.

CINNOX Q&A Bots can be valuable partners in managing customer and staff enquiries about your products and services. They can assist with providing first-hand customer service, offering user manual guides, streamlining internal processes, and more. By relying on these bots, your Staff can effectively manage their time and workload, allowing them to focus on other important tasks.

Known Limitations

• The answers provided by the Q&A Bot are generated by Azure OpenAI's ChatGPT models, which, while sophisticated, may not always be accurate. CINNOX does not ensure the precision of these responses.
• We recommend using GPT-4 or higher version for more accurate chatbot responses for AI Model selection.
• Although Azure OpenAI aims to deliver answers in the customer's language, this cannot be guaranteed. To enhance results, we advise that the data source content, description, and the visitor's language be consistent and have the same vocabulary. The Chatbot should use monolingual data sources. To handle multiple languages, users are encouraged to utilise custom prompts to input their instructions accordingly.
• The Chatbot may respond with an incorrect or broken link from time to time, according to the data source provided.
