Check the AI source

When AI never replies, first confirm that Agent setup has a built-in or external AI source.

First determine whether the AI did not run, lacked evidence, needed an unavailable tool, or produced a reply that was not delivered.

AI does not reply at all#

  1. Confirm that an AI source is configured under AI employees → Agent setup.
  2. Confirm that AI reception is enabled for the current channel.
  3. Check whether a person has taken over the conversation.
  4. Check available AI usage.
  5. Inspect channel and message delivery state.

AI gives the wrong answer#

  1. Reproduce the question in the Playground.
  2. Open answer details and inspect matched knowledge, skills, and customer memory.
  3. Confirm that knowledge processing succeeded and no conflicting old version remains.
  4. Confirm that the relevant skill is enabled and tested.
  5. Use Correct AI to state what was wrong and how it should be handled.

Correction creates governed learning. It affects future answers only after review and adoption. One manual agent reply is not proof that the AI learned it.

Live data#

Orders, tracking, inventory, and CRM facts require connected tools. The knowledge base can explain a static policy but cannot invent a live order result. Connect the required app or capability when the trace reports a missing tool.

When the customer request is ambiguous, a clarifying question is safer than a fabricated answer.
