Getting started with Respond Helper

When you create your account, you’ll see a simple 4-step setup checklist to get Respond Helper ready.

1. Add content to your knowledge base

Go to Knowledge Base and click Add source.

The quickest option is Your website:

  1. Select Entire website.

  3. Click Scan and import website.

Respond Helper will follow your sitemap and internal links, and can import up to 1,000 pages from the same site.

You can also add information manually in:

  • About your business for your business name, hours, description, and contact details
  • Common questions for answers to the questions customers ask most often

For more help, see Import your website.

2. Test your AI agent

Open Test AI Responses and ask the kinds of questions your customers usually ask.

3. Choose where your agent will go live

This usually takes about 2 minutes.

Open Channels and choose one or both:

4. Pick a plan and go live

Go to Settings, then Billing, and choose a plan.
