Knowledge base agent
The right answer, drawn from your knowledge — on demand.
Agents spend a surprising share of every conversation searching — through wikis, PDFs, intranet pages and old emails — for an answer the customer is waiting on. It slows the interaction, produces inconsistent answers, and is one of the most frustrating parts of the job.
The knowledge base agent fixes that. It uses AI to return the right, current answer grounded in your own documentation, so the knowledge is available the moment it is needed.
Grounded in your knowledge, not the open web
Generic AI assistants make things up. The knowledge base agent answers from your own policies, procedures and product information, so responses are accurate, on-brand and appropriate for regulated industries.
Faster, more consistent answers
Instead of hunting, agents ask and get an answer. That means:
- Less hold time and hesitation during conversations
- Consistent answers regardless of the agent's experience
- A gentler learning curve that speeds up onboarding
Works across the platform
The knowledge base agent complements agent assist for in-the-moment guidance, can power self-service, and helps generate draft replies for email and chat.

Frequently asked questions
- Where do the answers come from?
- The knowledge base agent is grounded in your own documentation, so answers reflect your policies and procedures rather than generic web content.
- Who uses it — agents or customers?
- Both. It can support agents who need a fast, accurate answer mid-conversation, and it can power self-service so customers can find answers directly.
- How does it stay accurate as things change?
- Because answers are grounded in your source documentation, keeping the knowledge base current keeps the answers current — no need to retrain agents on every change.
