The Two-Layer Approach
For best results, use both approaches together:
1. Upload Documents (Knowledge Base)
Upload your manuals, FAQs, and policies as PDFs in the Documents page.
- Great for general Q&A
- AI searches through content for relevant info
- Not enforced as strict rules
2. Configure AI Rules (Strict Enforcement)
Add critical policies in the AI Rules page.
- Enforced every time
- Custom terminology always applied
- Guardrails prevent costly mistakes

Quick Tips
Terminology
Add any brand-specific terms customers see in your app. This keeps AI responses consistent with your product.
Guardrails
Set conservative limits initially. You can always increase auto-approve thresholds as you gain confidence.
Escalation Keywords
Include words that indicate frustration or legal threats. Better to escalate early than risk a bad customer experience.
