AI Answer Refusals
Is your AI bot suddenly tight-lipped? Let's unlock those answers! 🗝️
When AI refuses to answer questions, especially with the directive "Refuse to answer outside the provided knowledge base," it's usually due to missing information or context mismatches. But don't worry - we've got a step-by-step guide to get your bot chatting again!
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide 🛠️
Step 1: Verify the Correct Knowledge Base 📚
First, let's make sure your bot is working with the right information:
- Action: Navigate to the bot setup page 🖥️
- Task: Confirm the correct knowledge base is selected for your bot
Why This Matters: If your bot's using the wrong knowledge base, it's like trying to answer questions about cars while reading a cookbook! 🚗📕
Step 2: Evaluate Knowledge Base Quality 🔬
Now, let's ensure your knowledge base is up to snuff:
- Action: Assess the quality of each vector in your knowledge base
- Goal: Ensure vectors contain complete, relevant information with intact context
Examples:
✅ Good Vector: "Shipping Policies" vector includes detailed info on:
- Shipping timelines ⏱️
- Costs 💰
- Regions served 🌎
❌ Bad Vector: "Shipping Policies" vector only mentions "shipping" without specifics 🚫
Think of your knowledge base as a library. Each book (vector) should be comprehensive and on-topic!
Step 3: Test Vector Database Responses 🧪
Let's make sure your AI can find and use the information correctly:
- Action: Use the DB Benchmark page to test information retrieval
- Purpose: Ensure the AI pulls accurate and relevant info when answering questions
This step is like a practice quiz for your AI. If it can't find the right answers during practice, it won't perform well in the real world!
Wrapping Up 🎁
By following these steps, you're ensuring your AI assistant:
- Has access to the right information 📊
- Works with high-quality, comprehensive data 🏆
- Can effectively retrieve and use that data to answer questions 🎯
Remember, a well-informed AI is a helpful AI. Regular maintenance of your knowledge base keeps your bot at the top of its game!
