Chris: Hello, can you share the story behind the development of HelpLook and what inspired the creation of an AI-powered knowledge base platform?
Vincy: Hi, helpLook was created to address the need for improved customer self-service experiences and to make it easier for businesses to provide relevant information. The team recognized the challenges customers face in finding the information they need and saw the potential of AI-powered solutions. By integrating AI technologies, such as NLP and machine learning, HelpLook offers personalized and relevant information through features like AI-powered search and intelligent suggestions. The goal is to bridge the gap between customers and the information they seek, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction.
Chris: How does HelpLook’s AI engine create knowledge base articles from existing content like website pages, FAQs, and customer support tickets, and what level of customization is possible in this process?
Vincy: HelpLook AI has integrated with GPT 3.5 and GPT 4.0 data models, offering two forms of functionality: “On-Site Search” and “Integrated Chat Plugin”:
On-Site Search: By integrating HelpLook’s on-site search capability into the company’s public website, search results automatically retrieve and organize answers from customer-contributed content in the HelpLook knowledge base.
Integrated Chat Plugin: HelpLook AI can be quickly integrated with third-party chat plugins used by customers. The chat assistant leverages content published by customers in the HelpLook knowledge base to automatically organize and provide answers.
HelpLook AI records high-frequency user searches/questions (keywords and articles) and allows clear tracking of this information in the HelpLook backend. This data can be used to identify areas for product and service optimization.
Chris: Real-time knowledge base search using natural language queries is impressive. Can you explain the underlying technology and how HelpLook’s NLP capabilities ensure that users receive relevant results quickly?
