Ensuring Chatbot Accuracy: A 5-Step Process

1. Curate High-Quality Q&A Data

The foundation of an accurate chatbot is high-quality, curated content:

Gather information from knowledge articles, FAQs, and existing Q&A formats.
Structure data in FAQ-style format for optimal AI understanding.
Validate content by collaborating with legal, compliance, business, and operations teams.

Remember: This step requires significant time investment but is crucial for success.

2. Implement Robust Guardrails

Protect your chatbot and AI models with the following:

Carefully crafted prompts (use GPTfy’s prompt builder for assistance).
Custom functions or scripts in your AI models (e.g., Google Cloud, OpenAI).
Grounding techniques to prevent vulnerabilities and potential hacking attempts. This step demands expertise and thorough consideration of possible risks.

3. Conduct Automated Validation at Scale

Rigorously test your chatbot’s performance:

Develop scripts to automate API calls to your Einstein Chatbot.
Run thousands of test questions through the system.
Evaluate responses using criteria like accuracy, completeness, clarity, and concision.

Leverage a separate AI model (e.g., GPT-4) to grade responses against a control Q&A set.

Tip: This process helps identify inconsistencies in your knowledge base and refine your content.

4. Perform Human Validation

The final line of defense:

Have your team manually test the chatbot.
Assess if responses align with your brand voice and meet quality standards.
Use findings further to refine data, prompts, and AI settings.

5. Continuous Improvement: Post-Chat Analysis

Use GPTfy to analyze transcripts for Key topics discussed, Actions taken (e.g., agent redirection, case creation), Identification of missing FAQs
Sentiment analysis (consider expanding beyond positive/negative/neutral)
