Quick Answers are pre-configured reactions to specific questions or situations. Instead of “thinking” and formulating a response from scratch each time, the AI employee instantly performs the action you defined: sends exact text, consults another agent behind the scenes, or transfers the client to a different AI employee.

When to use

  • Certain questions require a strictly fixed answer (address, payment details, business hours)
  • You need to automatically transfer the client to another AI employee for a specific topic
  • You want to speed up processing of common requests without spending tokens on “reasoning”

How Quick Answers differ from FAQ

Quick Answers always take priority over FAQ. If a customer’s question matches both a Quick Answer and an FAQ entry, the Quick Answer will fire.

For manually adding ready-made answers, use Quick Answers rather than FAQ. FAQ is primarily designed for automatic population from conversations.

5 action types

1. Answer exactly

The agent sends the client exactly the text you specified — no changes, no adaptation. Best for: addresses, payment details, contact information, legal wording that must not be altered.
Exact answers do not adapt to the conversation context. The client will receive the same text regardless of how they phrased the question. Make sure your answer text is universal.

2. Based on answer

The agent uses your text as a foundation but adapts it to the conversation context. You give the agent a “hint,” and it forms a response considering what was discussed. Best for: answers that should account for context (information about a specific product or service), situations requiring flexibility with a guiding framework.

3. Transfer to another AI

The client is fully handed off to another AI employee. The current agent stops working with this conversation, and a different one takes over. Best for: the client’s topic belongs to another department, one agent handles initial contact while specialized agents handle detailed work. Additional settings:
  • Agent selection — choose which AI employee receives the client from the dropdown
  • Instruction — text describing the transfer context

4. Get answer from another AI

The current agent does not transfer the client but queries another AI employee behind the scenes. The client does not see this — they continue chatting with the same agent. Best for: expertise from another domain is needed but transferring the client is inappropriate; one agent is the company’s “face” while others are internal experts. Additional settings:
  • Agent selection — who will answer behind the scenes
  • Instruction — what to find out from the other agent
What’s the difference from “Transfer to another AI”? With a transfer, the client is fully handed off to another agent. With “Get answer,” the current agent only requests information and delivers it to the client themselves. The client never knows someone else was involved.

5. Expert council

The most powerful option: 2 to 10 AI agents simultaneously generate their answer variants, and the system combines them into a single final message. Best for: complex or ambiguous questions, complaints and conflict situations, questions requiring a comprehensive approach. Additional settings:
  • Agent selection — which AI employees participate in forming the answer
  • Instruction — the shared task for all experts
  • Show expert answers — if enabled, the client sees each expert’s individual response (by default, only the combined final answer is shown)

Main trigger question

The main question is the trigger that tells the system to fire a Quick Answer. The AI analyzes meaning, not exact word matches, so you don’t need to write the question exactly as the client would say it. Good examples:
  • “What is your address?”
  • “How do I request a refund?”
  • “I have a technical problem”
Bad examples:
  • “Question about address” — too vague
  • “The client is asking where we are located, what the office address is, and how to get there by public transport or by car” — too long
Phrase the question as a real client would ask it. Write from the client’s perspective, not the operator’s. Limit: 50 words.

Simplify button

Next to the Main question field there is a Simplify button. It launches AI to rephrase your question into a shorter, more universal form.
1

Enter the question

Type the question in the Main question field.
2

Click Simplify

The AI will suggest a more concise wording.
3

Review the result

If the result works — keep it. If not — edit manually.
Example:
  • Before: “Could you please tell me at what address your main office is located?”
  • After: “What is the office address?”

Additional parameters

Chat management

A dropdown that determines what happens to the chat after a Quick Answer fires. For example, you can pause the chat so a human manager can step in.

Send notification

A toggle. When enabled, the manager receives a notification whenever the Quick Answer fires.
Enable Send notification for Quick Answers related to complaints, refunds, and other situations where human involvement may be needed.

Quick Answers priority

When a client sends a message, the agent checks information sources in a specific order. Quick Answers have higher priority than FAQ and the Knowledge Base. If the agent answers a question differently than you’d like (via FAQ or the Knowledge Base), create a Quick Answer with the desired wording — it will take priority.
In the test chat, click the checkmark next to the agent’s response — you’ll see its reasoning: which Quick Answers it checked, what it used from the knowledge base, and why it answered the way it did.

Recommendations on quantity

There are no limits on the number of Quick Answers. Practical recommendations:
  • Don’t duplicate similar phrasings. If you have a trigger “What is your address?” — you don’t need a separate “Where are you located?”. Use the Simplify button.
  • Don’t overload. Quick Answers are for truly common situations. Rare questions should be handled by the agent via the knowledge base.
  • Review regularly. Remove outdated Quick Answers — old addresses, prices, expired promotions.

Integration with other tools

  • FAQ — they complement each other. Quick Answers for critical questions, FAQ for everything else.
  • Knowledge Base — the “Based on answer” action uses knowledge base data to form personalized responses.
  • Notifications — you can combine Quick Answers with notification triggers.
  • Other AI Employees — “Transfer to another AI,” “Get answer from another AI,” and “Expert council” actions allow you to build multi-agent scenarios.

Frequently asked questions

There are no limits. We recommend not duplicating similar phrasings — use the Simplify button for generalization.
The system will choose the best match by meaning. Try to formulate triggers so they don’t overlap.
With a transfer, the client is fully handed off to another agent who continues the conversation. With “Get answer,” the current agent queries another agent behind the scenes, and the client doesn’t see this.
No. But it’s recommended if your trigger question is long or contains specific phrasing. Simplification helps the agent better recognize different variations of the same question.
Yes. Quick Answers and FAQ complement each other. Quick Answers always have higher priority.
Check the trigger wording — it may be too narrow or too broad. Try clicking Simplify and resaving. Test in the test chat and check the agent’s reasoning (checkmark next to the response).
Yes. The “Answer exactly” action doesn’t depend on the Knowledge Base. But for “Based on answer,” the Knowledge Base significantly improves response quality.
