When you’ll need this
- You just connected your first communication window and want the AI serving real customers soon, without making a mess while it learns.
- The AI has been live for a while: some questions it answers well, others it keeps getting wrong, and you want to know where to start fixing it.
- You are about to expand service to more channels or lines of business and want the AI steady in one scenario before you copy the setup over.
- You want a routine for day-to-day maintenance: what to do in a few minutes each day and each week.
How to get there
This method spans several modules, used stage by stage:- Set scenarios and boundaries: left menu → My Assistant (Channel Login, Base Persona, Relationships), Response Settings (Reply Rules, Safety Guardrails, New Contact Setup, Service Time).
- Teach it knowledge and skills: left menu → Knowledge Base (Knowledge Generation, Knowledge Optimization, Knowledge Management), Skills Library.
- See how it is doing: left menu → Data Dashboard → Performance, Detail Review.
- Talk to it directly and give commands: top bar, right side → “Assistant Chat”.
Steps
1
Set scenarios and boundaries first: keep the scope small and the red lines clear
Onboard one scenario at a time: pick a single channel (WeChat, WeCom, Website link, Mini Program, or Official Account) and one line of business (pre-sales inquiries, for example). Do not bring several windows online at once.
- Connect a window: My Assistant → Channel Login → “Create New Communication Channel” in the top-right corner. Only a “Working” status means it is serving customers; “Pending” means sign-in or authorization is not finished yet.
- Define who it is and how it speaks: My Assistant → Base Persona. Under “AI Style”, choose “Detailed and polite” or “Flexible and concise” (selecting saves immediately); in the Main Prompt under “Custom Instructions”, write the AI’s identity, service scope, and reply principles, then click “Save Configuration”.
- Decide what happens when it is unsure: Response Settings → Reply Rules. Under “What to reply when AI does not know”, write the fallback text and click “Save reply text”, then turn on “Use a fixed reply”; under “Key Event Active Reporting”, spell out which situations to report to the supervisor and in what format.
- Decide where it should stay quiet: on the same page, write the rules for “Smart Group Chat” under “Questions That Need Reply” and “Questions That Do Not Need Reply” (only effective in WeChat and WeCom channels); if you handle friend requests, also configure Auto Accept Friend Request, welcome messages, and Lead Capture Rules in New Contact Setup.
- Set the red lines: Response Settings → Safety Guardrails. Click “Add rule”, choose “Exact keyword match” or “Semantic model judgment” as the detection method, set “Block reply?”, and for a match that is not blocked, write the reply content to send to the customer; when needed, set “Leader notification” to “Notify Leader”.
- Set the hours you promise customers: Response Settings → Service Time. Arrange the weekly schedule and click “Save working hours”. The service hours you communicate externally are the ones set here (times follow a fixed UTC offset and do not shift with daylight saving time).

Train it on real conversations: solve one type of problem at a time
Training material comes from real customers, not imagined Q&A. Work in this order — first see how it handled the case, then decide what to change:
- See where it gets stuck: Data Dashboard → Detail Review, filter as needed (time, user/group, intent category, and so on), and open an inquiry to view its “Message Processing Chain”: first check whether “Reference Knowledge” retrieved anything relevant, then check where the “Execution Steps” stopped (Conversation Context → Group Handling → Reply Decision → Skill Invocation → Knowledge Generation → Safety Guardrail).
- Add knowledge: Knowledge Base → Knowledge Generation. “Generate from Document” suits material you already have (up to 100MB per file; submitting opens a “Confirm Credits Consumption” dialog at 100 credits per document); “Generate from Webpage” suits your website and help pages; for Q&A you have already written, use “Add Ready Knowledge”. After you submit, follow the task in “Generation history”, and once it shows “Processing complete”, click “View result” to continue.
- Handle what it learned and what it could not answer: Knowledge Base → Knowledge Optimization. In “Pending review”, “Approve” or “Discard” each item; in “Needs answer”, fill in the answer box (“Enter an answer ready to send to customers”) and click “Confirm” (this view is not enabled in every environment). For questions that keep coming up, revise the answer and category directly under “Recent frequent questions” (if enabled).
- Change how it handles things: for process questions (which steps to follow, which tools to use), edit “When to use it” and “How AI should handle it” in the Skills Library; when a fixed question keeps going wrong, set up the fixed content in Reply Rules → “Keyword Direct Reply” — a match is sent directly and no longer goes through AI generation.
- Fix its judgments: wrong identity recognition goes to Relationships; misjudging what to answer and what to skip goes back to Reply Rules → “Smart Group Chat”; the wrong tone or form of address goes back to Base Persona and the Main Prompt.
3
When it is unsure, it asks: make that a routine
Customer questions the AI is not sure about are forwarded to the supervisor (this is what “Suggestions” in Performance counts); depending on how “Key Event Active Reporting” is configured, it also reports proactively.
- First make sure someone can catch them: bottom-left “Account settings” → “AI identity access” to generate a “Supervisor Authorization Code” (copying gives it the
#prefix), then ask the supervisor to send it to the AI account from their own phone; alternatively, set the recipient to “Supervisor” in Relationships. At the same time, return to Reply Rules and confirm “Key Event Active Reporting” is enabled and saved. - Answer as soon as a question reaches you: reply directly in the conversation, or go to Knowledge Base → Knowledge Optimization → “Needs answer”, fill in the answer, and click “Confirm” — the answer is stored as knowledge, so the AI has a basis for the next similar question.
- Questions no one answers collect under “Needs answer”. Clear them regularly; do not let them pile up.

Review on a schedule: let the data decide what to teach next
A review is not about whether the totals went up — it is about finding the next thing to teach. Start with this cadence, then adjust it to your message volume:
Before reading Performance, get the two scopes straight: the Core Metrics cards show the selected single period (one day, one week, or one month), while the trends, rate changes, Suggestions, and Learned Items use a sampled range — the two cannot be compared directly. Messages Received, Inquiries, and Replies overlap and cannot be added together. Click “Metric Guide” at any time to check a definition.Once the review has a conclusion, go back to the matching stage and act: questions that keep going to a human go into the knowledge base or get pinned with “Keyword Direct Reply”; replies that cross the line need a guardrail rule or a Relationships adjustment; the wrong tone means editing the Main Prompt.How to tell it worked: you can say which type of question the AI struggled with most this week and what you will change first; the change has been retested with a real message; and the next review looks at the same chart to see what moved.
Checkpoints
- Every window that is running has clear boundaries: Base Persona and Reply Rules are saved, the weekly schedule is arranged and saved, guardrail rules are configured, and all of it has been verified with real messages.
- The replies you spot-checked recently can be traced in Detail Review to their “Reference Knowledge” and “Execution Steps”.
- Knowledge Optimization has no long-standing backlog: Pending review (especially items from “Auto Learning”) and Needs answer have both been cleared.
- The supervisor receives the AI’s questions and reports; Suggestions and Learned Items show data in Performance.
- Each review ends with one concrete conclusion: what to teach next.
Important notes
The AI’s self-learning needs your oversight: among the knowledge learned automatically from conversations (the “Learned Items” metric), items whose source is “Auto Learning” require manual review; the rest are approved automatically if left untouched for 24 hours — doing nothing means accepting them by default.
Verify configurations through a real channel: “Assistant Chat” in the top bar is not bound to the communication window selected on the page, so its replies cannot tell you whether a window’s configuration is in effect.
