Steps for Creating a Receptionist AI Assistant

1. Create a New Assistant

1. Navigate to the top-right corner of the dashboard and select Create New Assistant.
2. Choose from the following options:
   • Import: Bring in an assistant from another account using its ID.
   • Blank Model: Start from scratch.
   • Generate Template: Use a pre-made prompt template (recommended for beginners).
3. Enter a description to guide the assistant's behaviour. Example:
   • Name: Emma
   • Role: Emma is a receptionist for Apex Concrete, responsible for answering questions, asking qualifying questions, and booking estimates.

2. Set Up the Assistant’s Identity and Style

• Identity: Describe the assistant’s role, demeanour, and expertise. Example:

  arduinoCopy codeYou are Emma, a receptionist for Apex Concrete. Your role includes answering customer inquiries, qualifying leads, and scheduling appointments. You maintain a professional, approachable, and efficient tone.

• Response Guidelines:

  • Use concise and clear responses.
  • Maintain a conversational, proactive, and helpful tone.
  • Lead the conversation back to the topic if the user veers off-course.
  • Ensure human-like phrasing with diverse language.

3. Build the Task-Based Framework

Structure the conversation in sequential steps:

1. Greet the user warmly:
   • Example: "Hi, I’m Emma, the receptionist for Apex Concrete. How can I assist you today?"
2. Handle user queries:
   • Provide specific information based on the query.
   • Use conditionals:
     • If the user asks about services, explain them.
     • If the user inquires about estimates, ask qualifying questions.
3. Ask qualifying questions:
   • Example questions:
     • What type of project is this? (e.g., foundation, driveway)
     • What is the project size or budget?
     • When do you need the project completed?
4. Schedule appointments:
   • Confirm the date and time with the user.
   • Request contact details (name, email, phone).
5. End the conversation:
   • Thank the user for their time and confirm the next steps.

4. Connect Knowledge Base

To enhance responses:

1. Go to the right-hand tab labeled Knowledge Base.
