Accessing Luma Knowledge through Virtual Agent
This article describes how an end-user can access Knowledge through Luma Virtual Agent. With integration to Luma Knowledge, the end-users can access the Knowledge Articles already available in the Luma Knowledge without the need to create skills in the Luma Bot Builder application. It helps the organization to benefit from the existing verified Knowledge and be readily available to the Virtual Agent to understand and serve the end-user immediately.
The end-user can initiate a conversation with the Virtual Agent by entering a simple question or a phrase. For example: ”Issue with Printer,” “How to reset my password?” etc.
The user request is sent to Luma Knowledge to search for the relevant Knowledge Articles. Luma Virtual Agent also looks for pre-configured Services that may be helpful. Based on the User’s intent to view Knowledge or Services, and the Confidence match of the results from the two systems, the Virtual Agent identifies relevant Knowledge Articles and Services and presents the results to the end-user.
The Virtual Agent may present the results in the following ways:
The user’s intent to view Knowledge or Service is identified from the phrase provided by the end-user. For example:
“How to reset my password” indicates that the user wants to view Knowledge Artifacts on how they can reset the password.
“Reset my password” indicates that the user wants help with a service that can reset the password.
Services Only: One Skill without Ambiguity
Luma Virtual Agent directly executes a Service when:
