Knowledge Overview
Knowledge is the information AI Receptionist can use to answer callers. Good knowledge keeps calls short, accurate, and helpful.
Approved Knowledge Controls Answers
The AI answers only from approved knowledge. If a caller asks about something missing, the AI should follow your fallback behavior instead of making up an answer.
Fallback options can include:
- ask again
- take a message
- transfer to a human
- end politely

Card Behavior
Some knowledge sections use cards. Each card can have a behavior:
| Behavior | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Answer | The AI answers from the card. |
| Take message | The AI captures caller details instead of answering fully. |
| Transfer | The AI transfers when the card is matched and transfer is available. |
Use Active to control whether a card can be used.
Review Regularly
Update knowledge whenever hours, prices, services, staff availability, or policies change. Outdated knowledge is the most common reason callers hear incorrect answers.
