Build a Knowledge Base Chatbot for Your Docs

Give your customers (or team) a chatbot that answers questions from your documentation, SOPs, and knowledge base — reducing support load automatically.

Time Required

2–4 hrs

Expected Result

A deployed chatbot that answers questions from your documentation with accurate, sourced responses — embedded on your site or in your product.

Recommended Tools

1

Gather and Clean Your Source Docs

Collect all documentation, SOPs, FAQs, and knowledge base articles. Clean up outdated content and organize files by topic. These become the chatbot's knowledge.

Connect Docs to Chatbase

Create a Chatbase project and upload your cleaned documentation. Train the chatbot on your content by specifying the persona, tone, and any topics it should decline to answer.

Write System Instructions

Use Claude to write detailed system instructions for the chatbot: how it should greet users, what it should say when it doesn't know an answer, and when to escalate to a human.
