FAQ Plus [Version 2]

Chatbots are an easy way to provide answers to frequently asked questions by end-users. However, most chatbots fail to engage with end-users in meaningful way because there is no human in the loop when the chatbot fails.

FAQ Plus bot is a friendly Q&A bot that brings a human in the loop when it is unable to help. One can ask the bot a question and the bot responds with an answer if it is contained in the knowledge base. If not, the bot allows the end-user to submit a query which then gets posted in a pre-configured team of experts to provide support by acting upon the notifications from within their team itself.

Applicable scenarios: FAQ Plus works really well for light weight QnA and help desk scenarios. It also works well to provide quick support when launching new projects/initiatives in the organization.
