Your AI assistant answers common questions in seconds, any time of day. Your team steps in for the moments that need a person. AI Smart Chat lets you set where that line is.<\/p>\n<h2>How it works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A message arrives<\/strong> from WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram or your website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The AI assistant answers<\/strong> using only what you taught it: your playbook, facts and FAQs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When a person is needed<\/strong>, the assistant tells the customer a team member will reply and passes the chat to your team, with the full conversation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your team replies<\/strong> from the Inbox. While a person is chatting, the assistant waits in the background.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Step 1: Teach the assistant what it may answer<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>AI Training<\/strong> and fill in the <strong>Playbook<\/strong>: what you sell, how to talk to customers, and your key facts, hours and links.<\/li>\n<li>Add your top questions under <strong>Knowledge<\/strong> with <strong>Add FAQ<\/strong>. The more real questions you add, the more chats it can finish on its own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Step 2: Decide when a person takes over<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>In the <strong>Playbook<\/strong>, fill in <strong>When to hand off to a person<\/strong>. Common choices: the customer asks for a person, is upset, or asks about a refund, a payment problem or a special deal.<\/li>\n<li>In <strong>Skills<\/strong>, keep <strong>Hand off to a human agent<\/strong> on and write the message customers see, for example &#8220;Thanks! I&#8217;ve passed this to our team and someone will reply here soon.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Keep the hand-off list short and clear. If everything goes to a person, customers wait longer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Step 3: Make sure someone answers hand-offs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Invite your agents in <strong>Team<\/strong> and agree who checks the <strong>Inbox<\/strong> and when.<\/li>\n<li>Answer hand-off chats first. The customer was told a person is coming.<\/li>\n<li>After a person replies, the assistant can continue the chat later, so your team does not need to stay in every conversation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 4: Improve every week<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>Analyze<\/strong> in AI Training and look at the chats that went to your team.<\/li>\n<li>If the same question keeps coming back, add it as an FAQ so the assistant can answer it next time.<\/li>\n<li>Test changes on the <strong>Test<\/strong> tab before customers see them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Write prices and promises exactly. The assistant will not invent offers you did not give it.<\/li>\n<li>Tell customers they are chatting with an automated assistant when they ask. Honesty builds trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Next steps<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/telewhats-ai-training-guide\/\">The full AI Training guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/telewhats-inbox-reply-customers\/\">Reply to customers from the Inbox<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Set up your AI assistant to answer customers on its own while your team stays in control: decide what it knows, when it hands a chat to a person and how your team takes over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[688],"tags":[702,707,692,710],"class_list":["post-26943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aismartchat","tag-ai-assistant","tag-ai-smart-chat","tag-how-to","tag-human-handoff","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26943"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26943\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26958,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26943\/revisions\/26958"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.aismartcontent.co\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
