What it does

Catches knowledge gaps in real time. When a customer asks something your help center does not cover, it tells the on-shift team immediately and records the question so gaps surface while they are still fresh.

When to use it

Use it if you run live chat support through Intercom and want to know the moment a question falls outside your documented answers — instead of discovering the gap weeks later in a report.

How it works

  1. 1A new Intercom conversation triggers the run.
  2. 2Extract the customer's opening question from the conversation.
  3. 3Use an LLM to phrase it as a clean search query.
  4. 4Query the Intercom help center for a confidently matching article.
  5. 5Branch: if a strong match exists, stop — the question is covered.
  6. 6If no match, append the question, conversation link, and timestamp to an Airtable "uncovered questions" base.
  7. 7Notify the live-support Slack channel so an agent can answer and the gap is on record.
