Data sources

Train the AI with data about your store, products, services to provide better and more accurate responses

Who can use this feature?

• This feature is available for all users

Our AI assistant is still in beta version. If you have any concerns or feedbacks, please contact us to share and help us improve Chatty.

Why add data sources?

We've trained AI on your own data. By adding your own data sources, you can train AI assistant about your specific products, services, and business policies.

This helps the AI give more accurate and personalized responses to your customers.

3. Questions (additional information)

This is additional information you want the AI to learn, beyond FAQs and product details.

Best practices for questions

Add more questions when you need AI to answer frequently asked questions that aren't covered in your FAQs section. Focus on adding unique questions rather than multiple variations of the same topic.

For example:

✅ Good practice:

• Add one clear question about your return policy timeframe

• Add one question about gift wrapping service

❌ Avoid:

• Adding multiple similar questions about returns

• Creating variations of the same question
