FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q&A pairs the bot uses before generating an answer.

Why FAQ instead of rules?

FAQs hold an exact answer for a specific question. Rules are behavior instructions. Examples: • Rule: "Don't give discounts" • FAQ: "Is there parking? — Yes, free parking on the street out front." When a client asks something, the bot checks FAQ first — if a semantic match, uses the exact answer. If not — generates its own.

The FAQ list

In Dashboard → Settings → "FAQ" section you see cards with: • HelpCircle icon (purple background) • Question (bold) • Answer (truncated, smaller font) • Chevron right icon • Trash icon to delete Click a card — edit modal opens.

Edit / add

Edit modal has 2 fields: • Question (text input) — short, e.g. "Is there parking?" • Answer (textarea, 5 rows) — the exact answer the bot uses To add — "+ Add question" button below the list.

How many FAQs?

Up to 20 — more starts overlapping (the bot picks the wrong match). Golden candidates: • Address and access ("where are you?", "is there parking?", "map?") • Payment ("do you take cards?", "is there a cancellation fee?") • Hours ("open on Sunday?", "holiday hours?") • Off-menu services ("do you sell gift cards?")

When FAQ takes precedence

If an FAQ contains a price that you later changed in Services — the bot may quote the wrong price. When you change a price, check FAQs too, not just Services.
