Training is the most important step in making your AI agent perform effectively. Through training, you teach the agent about your business, products, services, and how to interact with your customers. The more thorough and specific your training, the more accurate and useful the agent’s responses will be.

Why training matters

  • Business-specific knowledge — The agent learns about your company and what you offer.
  • Accurate responses — Better training leads to more reliable answers.
  • Proper context — The agent understands the scope of your business.
  • Fewer errors — Reduces the chance of incorrect or irrelevant replies.

Deleting a training entry is permanent and may affect the agent’s knowledge base. Make sure you want to remove it before confirming.

Best practices

  1. Start with the basics — Add core company information, main products and services, and contact details or business hours.
  2. Be specific — Use concrete examples, detailed descriptions, and avoid ambiguity.
  3. Keep it up to date — Add new products and services as they launch, update pricing and promotions, and remove outdated information.
  4. Test after each addition — Run the agent test after adding new training to verify the responses are correct.
  5. Organize by topic — Use documents for long-form content and text entries for quick instructions.

Important notes

  • The agent learns from all training entries you provide.
  • More recently added training takes priority over older entries.
  • Document and link processing can take a few minutes.
  • There is no limit to how many training entries you can add.
  • It is recommended to test the agent after each new training addition.
