Before you decide

Knowledge-base chatbots: buying questions

What documentation should I use for a chatbot pilot?

Start with the maintained documents your support team actually trusts. Include a few outdated, conflicting, and missing answers in your test set. Check citations, source refresh behavior, access restrictions, and how the bot responds when the answer is unavailable.

Can I train an AI chatbot on documents and website content?

The products in this category use sources such as websites, help centers, and files, with support varying by vendor. Check each profile for your exact source types. In a pilot, test a PDF, a page with tables, an updated article, and a restricted document. Confirm what is imported, how updates appear, and who can retrieve the answers.

Is a knowledge-base chatbot suitable for internal company questions?

It can be, if its access controls match the intended audience. An employee knowledge assistant and a public website bot should not automatically share the same sources. Test document permissions, user identity, citations, and what happens when someone asks for information they are not allowed to see.
