Creating and managing AI Assistants
Create conversation starters
Conversation starters remove initial barriers by providing suggested inputs that support users to engage with their Assistants.
What are Conversation Starters?
Conversation starters are pre-defined prompts that help users begin interacting with your AI Assistant. They serve as suggested entry points that:
- Remove barriers to engagement for new users
- Guide users toward productive interactions
- Showcase your Assistant’s capabilities
- Encourage exploration of your Assistant’s knowledge
