The AI doesn’t look for exact question matches. It uses your FAQs as reference material to answer naturally in conversation. You don’t need question variations or multiple translations—just write clear, complete answers in English. The AI automatically handles variations and translates to other languages during customer calls.
You can only add and delete FAQs—there’s no edit function yet. To update an FAQ, delete the old one and add a new one with your changes.
