Support Bot is an AI bot powered by GPT-4, OpenAI's most advanced AI model. It's designed to provide fast, reliable, and accurate answers based on your existing support content. No training is necessary - simply integrate it with your Help Center, and you're good to go.
The key features include:
- Holding complete support conversations

- Passing more complex questions directly to your human support team
- Requiring zero training – just point it at your Help Center or other external content and set it live
How does it work?
Support Bot is powered by AI Answers and your own Custom Answers.
AI answers are pulled from your Help Center or external content. With AI Answers, as your support content improves, Support Bot's resolution rates do too.
For even greater control over Support Bot's response, create Custom Answers with follow-up actions and rules to take each customer down the right path. Custom Answers let you build bespoke answers for increased accuracy, consistency, and specificity, especially when you want to include rich media in your responses.
