The Answers module on bot builder enables you to set up direct answers to end-user queries using information from the knowledge base/FAQs. This makes the Answers module a very powerful feature where users can have conversational interaction with the bot and get solutions with ease. 


Since the performance of the Answers module depends entirely on how the questions and responses have been configured, it is very important to track performance to improve deflection rates. This is where the Answers performance analysis curated report will ensure that it’s easy to get insights and act upon them. To access this, go to> Chat reports > Bot analytics > Answers performance analysis.


With the Answers performance analysis report, agents can accomplish the following:

  • Understand the % of questions answered by the bot through “Answer rate” and improve the answer rate by digging into the unanswered queries
  • Improve Q&A level performance by getting insights on the effectiveness of each Q&A configured in the Answers module 
  • Improve the feedback rate and helpfulness of the article by ensuring it gets recommended on relevant user queries
  • Track trends on answers and Q&A response rates and easily identify the time periods when these KPIs fall to make improvements
  • Refer to the underlying data to get granular details on each question asked and the answer provided by the bot in each conversation
