Knowledge Base
A built-in help-center editor. The same articles power your public help site, the in-widget search, and the AI bot’s answers — one source of truth, three customer surfaces.
Public help center
Branded, SEO-friendly, mobile-perfect — hosted by us at /help/.
In-widget search
Visitors search articles right inside the chat — no page redirect.
AI training source
The AI cites your articles — updates flow automatically when you edit.
Markdown editor
Markdown editor with live preview. Headings, lists, code blocks, images, links — all the formatting your team already knows. No janky WYSIWYG.
- Markdown with live preview
- Categories with color tags + sort order
- Status: draft · visible · hidden
- Independent "use for AI" toggle per article
- Image upload + drag-and-drop
- Slug + meta description for SEO
Markdown editor — left pane writes, right pane previews.
Three surfaces, one source
Public help center
Hero, search, category cards, popular articles — SEO-indexed.
In-widget search
Live-suggest dropdown right in the chat — deflects without redirecting.
AI citations
The bot answers, cites the article, links straight to it.
Visitor analytics
Every search query is logged. The "no-results" log is gold — it’s the exact list of articles you’re missing.
- Top search queries
- Zero-result query log (gaps to fill)
- Article view counts & popular list
- Was-this-helpful thumbs-up / down
Customization
Your colors, logo, tagline. Optional custom footer HTML. Toggle the chat launcher on the help pages or off.
- Logo + accent color + hero banner
- Custom footer HTML
- Optional embedded chat launcher
- Per-article SEO meta + canonical URL
Getting started
The hardest part of a help centre is usually deciding what to write, and the answer is sitting in your chat archive. The questions your team already answers several times a week are, by definition, the articles with guaranteed demand. Pull them from transcripts rather than from a brainstorm and the first twenty articles more or less choose themselves.
Write each one in the customer's words, not your internal ones. The article that gets found is titled with the question somebody would actually type. Publish a short accurate article now rather than a comprehensive one later; a stub that answers the question in three sentences beats an unwritten masterpiece, and the draft, visible and hidden states let you stage work without exposing half-finished pages.
- Mine the transcript archive for the questions with proven demand
- Title articles with the customer’s phrasing, not the internal feature name
- Ship short and accurate, then extend
- Use draft and hidden states rather than publishing work in progress

Close the loop
Every search a visitor runs is logged, and the searches that returned nothing are the most valuable list in the product. It is not an opinion about what customers might want; it is a record of people who wanted something specific enough to search for it and found nothing. Working that list in order is the fastest content roadmap available.
Read it for two different problems. Some entries are genuine gaps where the article does not exist and should. Others are vocabulary mismatches, where the article exists but is titled in your language rather than theirs. The second kind is cheaper to fix and often more common, and the fix is usually a title change or a sentence added near the top using the words people actually searched for.
- Work the zero-result log in frequency order
- Separate real gaps from vocabulary mismatches
- Fix a mismatch by adopting the customer’s words in the title and opening
- Re-read the log a month later to confirm the fix landed

Writing for the bot
Because the same articles can feed AI answers, how you write them affects what the bot says. Retrieval works best on prose that answers a question directly and early. An article that opens with three paragraphs of background before reaching the answer gives the bot three paragraphs of background to quote.
Keep each article to one question, put the answer near the top, and state conditions explicitly rather than implying them. Write refunds are available within 30 days of delivery rather than leaving the window to context. Use the per-article AI toggle deliberately, so that internal notes, seasonal promotions and anything you would not want quoted verbatim stay out of the bot's reach even while remaining useful to your team.
- One question per article, answered in the first few lines
- State conditions and numbers explicitly rather than implying them
- Use the per-article AI toggle to keep internal or seasonal content out
- Re-check anything quoting a price or a policy whenever it changes
