Start with the problem you need to solve.
Begin with a real customer question.
The best starting point is not “we need a chatbot.” It is a repeated question that customers struggle to answer from the website, even though your team already has a clear and approved response.
Choose one journey—evaluation, onboarding, or recurring support—and collect the questions that slow it down. A narrow first scope gives you something concrete to test and keeps the assistant from making promises your content cannot support.
Treat knowledge as part of the product experience.
Customer-facing knowledge needs an owner. Product details change, policies move, and older documents remain searchable long after they stop being accurate. Before adding a source, confirm that it is current, safe for customers, and maintained by someone on the team.
Clear source material improves more than AI answers. It also gives support, sales, success, and customers a shared explanation of how the product works and what to do next.
- Use one authoritative source for each important policy or workflow.
- Write headings in the language customers use when they ask for help.
- Review sources when products, prices, or operational rules change.
Review the moments where self-service stops working.
An unanswered question can reveal missing content, confusing product language, or a situation that should always reach a person. Review those moments without treating every handoff as a failure.
Good self-service handles the clear, repeatable work and makes the human path easier for everything else. The resources here are designed to help your team build that boundary deliberately.
Turn one recurring customer question into a clearer experience.
Bring the approved answer into Dobe Chat, test it in customer language, and improve from what people ask next.
