What is Q&A?
The Q&A (Question & Answer) feature in Eloquens AI allows you to create, manage, and organize knowledge pairs that help train and improve your AI assistant's responses. Think of Q&A items as teaching materials that give your AI specific information about how to respond to certain questions or topics.
Each Q&A item consists of:
- Question: The question or topic you want the AI to recognize
- Answer: The specific response or information you want the AI to provide
Why Use Q&A?
Q&A items help you:
- Improve AI accuracy: Provide specific answers for common questions
- Maintain consistency: Ensure the AI gives the same quality response every time
- Share knowledge: Capture important information that should be easily accessible
- Train your AI: Teach your assistant about your business, products, or services

Best Practices
Writing Good Questions
- Be specific and clear
- Use the language your users would actually use
- Include variations of how the same question might be asked
Writing Good Answers
- Keep answers concise but complete
- Use your brand voice and tone
- Include specific details that are helpful
- Avoid overly technical language unless necessary
Organization Tips
- Regularly review and update your Q&A items
- Remove outdated information
- Group related Q&A items by topic when possible
- Use the search function to avoid duplicate Q&A items
Troubleshooting
Can't find specific Q&A items:
- Use the search function with keywords from your question or answer
- Check different workflows if using Knowledge Manager
- Verify you're looking in the correct workflow
Generated Q&A items seem irrelevant:
- You can always discard suggested Q&A items that don't fit
- Edit suggested items to make them more relevant
- The system learns from your choices over time
Remember: Q&A items are powerful tools for improving your AI assistant's knowledge. The more relevant and well-written Q&A pairs you create, the better your AI will perform in conversations.
