  1. Go to AI Agents, open the AI agent and open the Test tab.

  2. Type a question a customer would ask, and click Send.

    You should see the AI agent’s answer, as a customer would get it.
  3. Click Why this answer? under the reply to see:

  • It found nothing: add the missing knowledge. See Knowledge sources at a glance.
  • It found the wrong knowledge: check the labels under Knowledge on the Content tab.
  • It answered in the wrong way: change the Persona instructions on the Content tab.

Then ask again.
