Is your bot hurting your brand reputation?
There is a thin line between an automated asset and a liability. If your chatbot hallucinates answers or loops into “I don’t know,” users churn. The issue is rarely the AI model itself, but the Quality of Context provided. In the SaaS world, we call this the Garbage In, Garbage Out principle.
The 7 Content Mistakes Sabotaging Your AI
To reach a 90% resolution rate, your documentation must avoid these common pitfalls:
- Legacy Data: Feeding the bot 2022 pricing sheets that conflict with your 2026 landing page.
- Unstructured PDFs: Scanned images or flyers without searchable text layers (OCR issues).
- Internal Lingo: Using undefined acronyms that confuse the model’s semantic understanding.
- Conflicting Truths: Hosting multiple versions of a “Return Policy” with different terms.
- Lack of Hierarchy: Documents missing Header tags (H1, H2), making it hard for the AI to understand scope.
- Vague Instructions: “Contact support” vs. “Email [email protected]”. The AI needs specifics.
- Marketing Fluff: Overloading technical docs with adjectives instead of actionable facts.
The DoxyChat Advantage: Smart RAG Implementation
Legacy chatbots require manual scripting for every error. DoxyChat solves this architecturally using advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
Our platform digests your heterogeneous data (Notion, Website, PDF) and creates a structured vector index. It prioritizes authoritative sources and ignores “noise.” By strictly grounding answers in your verified documentation, DoxyChat eliminates hallucinations and delivers enterprise-grade accuracy from Day 1.
Pro Tip: Structure your uploaded content with clear Markdown headings. It helps DoxyChat’s indexing engine retrieve the exact paragraph needed for a specific user query.
