To use AI to answer frequently asked questions, feed it your real questions and best answers, then let it draft consistent replies and a public FAQ. This reduces repeat questions to your team and gives customers fast answers, as long as you review the content so it stays accurate.
This guide builds an FAQ from your own knowledge. To find your top questions, read our AI audit.

Keep answers accurate
AI should draft from your approved content, not invent answers. Review for accuracy, especially on prices, policies, and promises, and update the FAQ when things change.
