Bot Setup Workflow

How to Set Up Your AI Support Bot

Step 1: Choose your platform — WhatsApp Business API + AI bot (like Wati, Freshchat, or Interakt) is best for D2C. Most Indian customers prefer WhatsApp.

Step 2: Build your knowledge base — Upload your FAQs, product details, return policy, and shipping info. The bot is only as good as its knowledge base.

Step 3: Set up integrations — Connect your Shopify store, Shiprocket, and payment gateway so the bot can pull real-time order data.

Step 4: Design escalation rules — Define when the bot should hand off to a human (complaints, payment failures, VIP customers).

Step 5: Test with 50 real queries — Run real customer questions through the bot. Fix gaps in the knowledge base before full launch.

Step 6: Launch & monitor — Start with 50% auto-response, then increase as accuracy improves. Review weekly.
