This video demonstrates how to configure the conversation settings of a AI-agent:

Here's what you can do with AI-agent level settings:

  • Manage user identification for personalized interactions.
  • Configure supported languages to accommodate diverse users.
  • Provide suggestions to users based on their interactions.
  • Assist with document searches for quick information retrieval.
  • Display banners for important announcements or promotions.
  • Set AI-agent objectives to guide interactions towards specific goals.
Converstion settings

Under the Conversation settings, you can access and modify these AI-agent level settings:

User identification setting

The User identification flow in AI-agent conversations involves identifying the user engaging with the AI-agent. This is accomplished by prompting the user identifier flow for unidentified users even before starting the conversation, which may include an email address, phone number, or other unique information.

Suggestion setting when AI-agent does not understand user utterance

AI-agent suggestions are automated prompts or recommendations provided by the AI-agent to assist users during a conversation. These suggestions are based on the context of the conversation and can include options for actions, responses, or next steps that the user can take. This helps the users guide through the conversation and facilitate smoother interactions with the AI-agent.
