What it does

This is the safe version of the doc-answering coach. It still drafts answers from your feature documentation, but it scores how well the docs actually cover the question first. High-confidence questions get an automatic reply; low-confidence ones are routed to your onboarding team in Slack with the question, the user, and the best partial match attached.

When to use it

Use it when wrong answers are worse than slow answers, for example during high-touch enterprise trials. It keeps the bot helpful on common questions while making sure edge cases reach a human before a bad reply erodes trust.

How it works

  1. 1A new in-app message arrives via the Intercom conversation trigger.
  2. 2The relevant feature docs are retrieved from Coda for the user's question.
  3. 3OpenAI evaluates coverage and drafts an answer plus a confidence score.
  4. 4A branch checks the score: confident answers are auto-sent, weak ones are flagged.
  5. 5Confident answers post back into Intercom; flagged ones go to the onboarding Slack channel with full context for a human to take over.
