Revise Chatbot Answers
Train your chatbot to give better responses by revising AI answers directly from the IrisAgent dashboard. When the chatbot provides an answer that could be improved, you can update it in just a few clicks—no code required.Overview
The Revise feature allows you to:- Review chatbot conversations in real-time
- Edit AI responses that need improvement
- Train the chatbot to provide your revised answer for similar future questions
- Maintain consistent, on-brand messaging across all customer interactions
Revised answers are applied immediately. The next time a customer asks a similar question, the chatbot will use your updated response.
How It Works
When you revise an answer, you’re creating a training rule that tells IrisGPT how to respond to specific types of questions. You can either provide a Direct Answer (the exact response you want) or give Instructions for AI Agent (guidelines for how the AI should formulate its response).Step 1: Ask a Question in the Chatbot
Start by identifying an AI response that needs improvement. You can do this by:- Testing the chatbot yourself with sample questions
- Reviewing recent customer conversations

Step 2: Open the Conversations Tab
In the IrisAgent dashboard, navigate to IrisGPT → Conversations where recent chatbot interactions are listed.
Step 3: Open the Revise Answer View
Within the conversation detail view, you’ll see the question and the AI’s response. Look for the Revise button in the bottom-right corner of the AI answer. Click Revise to open the answer editor.Step 4: Edit and Save the New Answer
You’ll now see the revision editor with two tabs:- Direct Answer
- Instructions for AI Agent
Use this option to provide the exact response you want the chatbot to give. This is best for:
- Specific factual information
- Standard responses with precise wording
- Answers that should always be consistent

Step 5: Test the Updated Answer in the Chatbot
Return to the chatbot interface and ask the same question again (e.g., “What is AutoKB?”). Confirm that the chatbot now responds with exactly the revised answer you configured.Success! Your chatbot is now trained to provide the improved response for this type of question.
