Step 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 Clean up outdated content and organize files by topic.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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Test With Real Questions
Run the 30 most common questions your support team receives through the chatbot. Note any incorrect or incomplete answers and improve the source documentation to fill the gaps.
Step 5
Embed and Monitor
Embed the chatbot widget on your docs site or in your product. Set up weekly reviews of unanswered questions to identify gaps in coverage.
Time Required
