Configuring and Using Question Suggestions

5min

Introduction

The Question Suggestions feature enhances user interaction by providing helpful suggestions when the bot encounters a fallback scenario. This ensures that users are guided to relevant information even when a direct answer is unavailable.

By default, the suggestions are divided as follows:  

  • 60% FAQ Suggestions: Based on frequently asked questions (FAQs).  
  • 40% Document Suggestions: Based on content extracted from related documents.

 How It Works  

  1. Fallback Trigger:   When the bot cannot provide a direct response to a user's query, the fallback mechanism triggers.  
  2. Suggestion Generation:   Based on the default ratio, the bot displays:  
    1. 60% FAQ Suggestions: Top FAQ-based recommendations.  
    2. 40% Document Suggestions: Relevant document-based recommendations.
