Frequently Asked Questions

Why is AI better than keyword matching?

Users ask "how do I join" and "what's the IP" for the same thing. AI understands this, keywords don't.

Is Owl response quality consistent?

Yes. Owl uses retrieved knowledge for accuracy, not pure generation. Quality improves as knowledge grows.

Can I still use keyword triggers with Owl?

Owl focuses on natural questions. For simple triggers, you can use both Owl and a command bot.
