AI Response Settings

Response Style

Control how detailed AI suggestions should be:
Short, to-the-point answers. Best for:
  • Simple yes/no questions
  • Quick reference information
  • Experienced users who want fast answers
Example:
“Yes, you can cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription → Cancel.”
Detailed explanations with extra context. Best for:
  • Complex features
  • New users who need more guidance
  • When detailed steps are important
Example:
“You can cancel your subscription at any time without penalty. Here’s how:
  1. Click the gear icon to open Settings
  2. Select ‘Subscription’ from the menu
  3. Click ‘Cancel Subscription’
  4. You’ll keep access until your billing period ends on [date]
If you change your mind, you can resubscribe anytime.”

Confidence Threshold

The minimum confidence level before showing a suggestion.
ThresholdWhat Happens
High (70%+)Only shows answers the AI is very confident about. Fewer suggestions, but more accurate.
Medium (50-70%)Shows more suggestions. Some may be less accurate.
Low (below 50%)Shows many suggestions. Higher chance of irrelevant answers.
Start at 70% (default). Lower it if users aren’t getting suggestions, raise it if suggestions are often wrong.

Max Response Tokens

Limits how long AI responses can be. The default (2000 tokens) allows for complete, detailed answers.
  • Lower values (500-1000): Shorter, more concise answers
  • Higher values (2000+): Longer, more detailed answers
1 token ≈ 4 characters. 2000 tokens ≈ 1500 words maximum.

Trigger Settings

Control when the bot provides suggestions.

On Ticket Creation

When enabled, the bot reads the user’s initial message and immediately suggests relevant answers. Best for:
  • Most support setups
  • Providing instant help
  • Reducing time-to-first-response

Trigger Keywords

Add specific words that trigger Knowledge Base searches: Example keywords:
  • help, how do I, can I
  • Product-specific terms like refund, upgrade, cancel
Leave empty to trigger on all messages.

Delay Before Suggestion

Wait time (in seconds) before the bot sends a suggestion. Default is 2 seconds. Why use a delay:
  • Gives users time to send follow-up messages
  • Prevents spam-like rapid responses
  • Allows message batching for multi-message questions
Settings:
  • 0 seconds - Immediate response (may interrupt users)
  • 2-5 seconds - Recommended for most setups
  • 10+ seconds - For slower-paced support

Minimum Message Length

Only trigger on messages with at least this many characters. Default is 10. Why use this:
  • Ignores greetings like “hi” or “hello”
  • Focuses on actual questions
  • Reduces unnecessary AI calls
Recommended settings:
  • 10 characters - Captures “What is X?” style questions
  • 20+ characters - Only triggers on detailed questions

Behavior Settings

Stop After Staff Response

When enabled, the bot stops suggesting answers once a staff member replies. When to use:
  • Staff prefers to handle tickets without AI help
  • To prevent AI from contradicting staff
  • For complex issues that need human judgment
When to disable:
  • AI should continue helping during long conversations
  • Staff uses AI as a tool to find information

Respect Staff Presence

When enabled, the bot backs off for 5 minutes after staff sends a message. How it works:
  1. Staff sends a message
  2. Bot pauses suggestions for 5 minutes
  3. If user asks again after 5 minutes, bot can suggest
When to use:
  • Staff is actively helping and doesn’t want interruption
  • AI should only help when staff is idle

Outside Business Hours Only

When enabled, AI only suggests answers outside your configured business hours. When to use:
  • Human-first support during work hours
  • AI coverage for after-hours tickets
  • Weekend/holiday coverage
Configure your business hours in Server SettingsAutomationBusiness Hours.

Display Settings

Show Source Info

  • A link to the original page
When to enable:

  • Transparency is important
  • You want users to explore documentation
When to disable:
  • Cleaner, simpler suggestions
  • You prefer users to stay in Discord

Show Confidence Score

When enabled, suggestions show the AI’s confidence percentage. Example with confidence:
💡 Suggestion (87% confident) You can cancel anytime from Settings…
When to enable:
  • Users should know how reliable the answer is
  • Training staff to recognize AI limitations
  • Debugging suggestion quality
When to disable:
