The Problem

Most UK businesses update their knowledge base reactively — if at all. Support teams answer the same questions repeatedly because help articles are outdated, missing, or hard to find. Research shows that 67% of customers prefer self-service over speaking to a support agent, but only if the documentation is accurate. Stale knowledge bases increase ticket volume by 25-30% and frustrate customers who tried to help themselves first.

How It Works

1

3

Draft articles generated from resolved ticket responses and agent knowledge

4

Existing articles flagged when ticket data suggests outdated or inaccurate content

5

Updated articles reviewed by support leads and published to the knowledge base

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system know which articles need updating?

It analyses ticket patterns — if customers are reading a help article and then still submitting a ticket on the same topic, the article likely needs improvement. It also detects when agent responses consistently differ from published documentation, indicating the docs are outdated.

Can AI-generated articles match our brand voice and style?

Yes. The AI is trained on your existing knowledge base content to match tone, structure, and terminology. All generated articles go through a review workflow before publishing — think of the AI as a first draft writer that saves your team 80% of the creation effort.
