Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Chatbot

An FAQ Chatbot is an easy way to help visitors, customers, or even staff get rapid access to information. Based on the format of question and answers, the chatbot will use AI to identify the most appropriate answer to whatever the user types in. The system also learns over time and you can keep question and answers up to date and growing.

We get your first set of FAQs, bot personality information, and your Microsoft Azure details and set you up with a chatbot. You will be able to immediately embed this into your website with some simple iframe code or you can start setting up the bot channels to integrate the chatbot into Facebook, Telegram, Microsoft Teams and more.

1. Before you start

To be able to proceed with setting up the GoSmarter FAQ chatbot, you need:

• Have a Work or Education email address associated with Microsoft 365 or Azure Active Directory
• Be an Administrator role for Microsoft 365 so that you can grant us the relevant permissions
• Have at least Contributor access to a Microsoft Azure subscription
• Be prepared with some questions and answers to add to your chatbot either in the form of some text, a web page, or a file to upload.

2. Teach your bot

Here you need to add your initial question set. Don’t worry you will be able to edit these in future using qnamaker.ai and you can even set up approval processes etc. For now simply provide us with some typed up questions, a web page with your FAQs or a document that has them in.

Make sure to click Confirm before moving on!

3. Customising your bot

Your bot needs some stock responses for time like when it doesn’t know how to respond. You can use our defaults or change them to suit your business.

Make sure to click Add before moving on!

4. Setup your bot

Here you’ll login to your Azure account and grant us the permission to setup the bot in your account.

Popups If you’re clicking buttons like ‘Log in’ and nothing’s happening, you need to enable popups so that the login boxes from Microsoft etc. will appear. This is usually done by clicking on the blocked popup symbol next to the URL bar.
