How to Train ZazzyAgent AI With FAQs, Website Content & Files

Updated
View as Markdown

An AI Agent is only as useful as the information it has access to.

A strong System Prompt tells the agent how to behave.

Your knowledge sources give it the business information it needs to answer customers.

ZazzyAgent's AI training workflow is designed around this separation.

System Prompt vs Knowledge

This is the first concept to understand.

System Prompt

The System Prompt tells the agent:

  • Who it is

  • What it should do

  • How it should behave

  • How it should communicate

  • When it should ask questions

  • When it should use an action

  • When it should transfer a conversation

  • What it must avoid

Knowledge

Knowledge provides information such as:

  • Products

  • Services

  • Policies

  • FAQs

  • Website information

  • Documents

  • Other business content

The current underlying AI system uses a knowledge/training campaign connected to the AI Agent, while the System Prompt defines how the agent should use it.

What can you use to train the AI?

Depending on the ZazzyAgent setup, supported knowledge sources can include:

FAQs

Useful for structured questions and answers.

Example:

Question: What is your delivery time?

Answer: Orders are usually delivered within 3–5 business days.

Website content

Useful when important business information already exists on your website.

Examples:

  • Product pages

  • Service pages

  • FAQ pages

  • Shipping policy

  • Return policy

  • About page

Documents

Useful for internal or detailed business information.

Examples:

  • PDF brochures

  • Product manuals

  • Service documents

  • Policy documents

  • Training documents

Create a knowledge/training campaign

Open the AI training/knowledge area in ZazzyAgent and create a new knowledge source or training campaign.

Give it a useful name.

Bad:

AI Knowledge 1

Better:

Ecommerce Sales Knowledge

Or:

Customer Support Knowledge

Or:

Product Catalogue Knowledge

The name should tell you what information belongs inside it.

Keep knowledge focused

Do not automatically put every document you own into every AI agent.

A Sales Agent should primarily receive sales-related information.

A Support Agent should primarily receive support-related information.

A product recommendation agent should have product information.

A separate order-support agent may need shipping, returns and order policies.

Focused knowledge makes it easier to control what the agent should rely on.

Write useful FAQs

Bad FAQ:

Shipping?

Yes.

That doesn't give the AI enough context.

Better:

Question: How long does delivery take?

Answer: Standard delivery usually takes 3–5 business days after the order has been dispatched. Delivery times may vary by location.

A good FAQ contains the full answer rather than relying on the AI to guess missing details.

Train the AI using website pages

Website training is useful when your website already contains accurate information.

Choose pages that contain useful customer-facing information.

Good sources include:

  • Product information

  • Pricing pages

  • FAQ pages

  • Shipping policy

  • Return policy

  • Service descriptions

Avoid adding irrelevant pages just to increase the amount of training data.

Train the AI using files

Documents are useful for information that doesn't live neatly on your website.

Before uploading a document, check that:

  • The content is current.

  • The document is readable.

  • Old policies have been removed.

  • Product information is accurate.

  • Internal information that customers should never see is excluded.

Keep knowledge updated

An AI can only answer correctly from information it has.

If your policy changes, update the relevant knowledge.

If a product changes, update the product information.

If your delivery policy changes, update the shipping information.

Don't expect the System Prompt to compensate for outdated business information.

Knowledge does not replace live data

Static knowledge is suitable for things like:

What is your return policy?

But not necessarily for:

Where is my order right now?

That type of question requires current data.

A better architecture is:

Knowledge

→ general order policy

Action/API

→ actual order status

The current AI Agent system supports this pattern: general information can come from the knowledge source while live information can be retrieved through an API or ecommerce action.

Give every agent the right knowledge

A useful approach is to create separate knowledge collections.

Sales Knowledge

  • Products

  • Pricing

  • Product comparisons

  • Sizes

  • Recommendations

  • Shipping

  • Returns

Support Knowledge

  • Shipping

  • Returns

  • Refunds

  • Order policies

  • FAQs

  • Support instructions

Appointment Knowledge

  • Services

  • Appointment rules

  • Locations

  • Availability rules

  • Cancellation policy

Then connect each AI Agent to the appropriate knowledge.

How to test your training

After training, don't ask only questions that are directly copied from your knowledge.

Test natural customer questions.

If your knowledge says:

Customers may return products within 7 days of delivery.

Ask:

Can I send this back next week?

The AI should understand that the question relates to the return policy.

Also test:

Do you accept returns?

What if the product doesn't fit?

Can I exchange it?

What is your return window?

Good training should help the AI understand variations of customer questions, not simply reproduce exact FAQ wording.

A simple training checklist

Before connecting your knowledge to a live agent:

  • [ ] Information is current

  • [ ] Policies are accurate

  • [ ] Product data is correct

  • [ ] FAQs are complete

  • [ ] Website pages are relevant

  • [ ] Documents are current

  • [ ] Private/internal information is excluded

  • [ ] Live data is handled through actions/APIs where needed

  • [ ] The knowledge matches the agent's responsibility

  • [ ] Real customer-style questions have been tested

Good AI training is less about uploading the most information possible and more about giving the agent the right information in the right structure.
