FAQs

What is considered a knowledge source?
A company's knowledge source is a collection of information, resources, and documents that provide employees (internal) and customers (external) with the information they need about the company, its products, services, policies, and procedures. Examples: FAQs, manuals, how-to guides, training materials, best practices, public support site, and other resources that help employees and customers find the information they need.
Can I customize the AI-generated responses?
The responses are generated by AI based on the provided knowledge sources.
Can AI Answers link to WalkMe content such as Smart Walk-Thrus?
Yes! AI Answers can return related Smart Walk-Thrus in responses. To ensure a SWT appears, it must be published to the menu and relevant to the user query. When these conditions are met, AI Answers will include the corresponding SWT alongside the AI-generated response, making it easier for users to access guided assistance.
How often are the GPT models updated with new information?
The models are updated when OpenAI releases a new version. There is no fixed schedule for these updates, though they typically occur every few months. Once a new version is released, it becomes available in AI Answers after it is supported by Azure.
