AI Setup Articles

To use the chatbot, you must first integrate the Bold360 Agent and AI platforms.

Note: This feature is only available with a Bold360 AI platform account.
  1. Enable the Bold360 ai integration in the Bold360 Admin Center as follows:
    1. In the Web Admin Center, go to Integrations > Genesys DX ai.
    2. Enter your Bold360 AI platform account name, host URL, and API key that you can copy from your Bold360 Admin Console.

      To find this API key, log in to your organization's Bold360 AI platform account and go to the Admin Center > API keys tab.

    3. Click Integrate.
  2. Set up an AI-enabled chat window so that both your customers and agents receive help from the chatbot:
    1. In the Web Admin Center, go to Channels > Chat > Chat Windows and create or edit a chat window.
    2. On the General tab, select Genesys DX ai chat window for chat window type.
    3. Select the Bold360 ai chat window configuration from the Floating Widget Configuration drop-down list that you want to use. Smart Advisor will use the selected knowledge base to answer customer queries.

      Result:

      Note: You can only customize an AI chat window in the Bold360 Admin Console.
    4. Optionally, to define a separate knowledge base for your agents, select a Knowledge Base for Agents from the respective drop-down list.

      Result: This way, you can define an additional knowledge base that agents can use when the bot does not find a suitable answer. Additionally, agent answers would not influence your primary knowledge base's statistics on the Bold360 ai Dashboard.

    5. Save your changes.
  3. Set up your AI-enabled chat window's escalation path, which is called channeling policy in the Bold360 Admin Console:
    1. Create a Bold360 API access key.
      • In the Bold360 Admin Center, go to Integrations > API Access Keys and click Create New.
      • Name your API key and select a Website and a Chat window that you want to associate with chats.
      • Select the Department where you want to direct your chats.
      • Click Save and copy your API access key.

      Result:

      Note: After closing this dialog you will not be able to view this key.
    2. In the Bold360 Admin Console, go to Channeling > Policy and click Add channel.

      Channel setup requires the Bold360 API access key that you have previously created.

    Remember: To implement a chat window, you must associate it with a chat button.
    Important: When you generate your chat button HTML code, you must select the same Website that you have defined for your API Access Key in Step 3.

    Result: The integration is now available for your agents. After integration, the Smart Advisor panel automatically replaces the Canned Messages panel when a chat is transferred from the chatbot. For more information, see Smart Advisor: Chatbot-assisted conversations.

After integrating Genesys DX ai, you may also do the following:

  • Set up the knowledge base that contains help articles. The chatbot presents the same knowledge base articles in the AI-enabled chat window to customers and on the Smart Advisor panel to agents. You can define multiple knowledge bases to serve different audiences, but every knowledge base must be associated with a separate chat window definition in the Bold360 Admin Center.
  • Customize the AI-enabled chat window. In the Bold360 Admin Console, go to Touchpoints > Floating widget and click Personalize.

For information on working with the Bold360 Admin Console, see the Bold360 ai support page.

Digital DX AI setup

The Digital DX AI platform offers customers chatbot-enabled self-service and introduces Smart Advisor, which provides agents with the best possible answers to customer questions during chat. The chatbot handles customer queries and provides a consistent front-line customer care experience. This way, Digital DX delivers the best of both chatbots and agents to solve customer issues.

Note: This feature is only available with a Digital DXAI platform account.

With your Digital DX AI platform account, you also get access to the Web Admin Console, where you can customize your AI-enabled chat window. Here you can also manage the content of the knowledge base that contains help articles that both the chatbot and the Smart Advisor panel show. The Digital DX AI platform is a service that provides a chat window with AI-enabled customer assistance after it is integrated into Digital DX. The layout of the chat window and the content of the help articles are controlled by the AI Console.

To use Digital DX AI, you must set up a link between the Web Admin Center and the AI Console by creating API keys:

  • To use the chatbot, create an API key, which connects the Digital DX AI and Agent platforms
  • To set up channeling, create a Digital DX Agent API access key. Depending on the number of channeling paths, you may have to create multiple Digital DX API access keys.

If set up correctly, customers receive self-service help from the chatbot and agents can use Smart Advisor to answer customer queries. See Smart Advisor: Chatbot-assisted conversations.

About channeling

When your customers request help from a human agent while interacting with the bot, the chat is escalated to a live agent in your organization. In the Web Admin Console (for the AI platform), chat escalation is called channeling. You may set up multiple channels to cater for your customers' needs. For example, you may use different knowledge bases to serve different audiences, in which case you must set up a channel for each knowledge base. With the Digital DX Agent API access key, channel settings are linked to a chat window and during channeling these settings are applied.

Whether customers receive help from the bot or chat with a live agent, they see the same chat window. Customers do not experience any change when a chat is seamlessly transferred from the chatbot to a live agent. They continue the conversation in the same window.

Announcements

Genesys DX/Bold360 End of Life: January 2024

The Genesys DX (Bold360) platform will end of life on January 31st, 2024. This difficult decision was announced in March, 2023.  

Genesys continues to make a strong commitment to Genesys Cloud, while tightening the portfolio to further accelerate feature growth on the platform. Part of that included bringing over key Genesys DX features to Genesys Cloud CX, such as Knowledge Optimizer that focuses on ease-of-use knowledge management. Digital only licenses for Genesys Cloud were also introduced late last year, which are suitable to those who are not looking for voice capabilities or who need agent seats that only feature support for digital channels. 

Details on the end of life timeline

As of January 31st, 2024, access to Genesys DX product interfaces and customer-deployed components stop to function. Users will no longer be able to log into product interfaces, and all of the boldchat/bold360/nanorep domains will become unavailable for use. If you are curious on what the code on your website related to this might look like and how to remove it, we encourage referencing this post on the DX community. 

After January 31st, 2024, admins will still be able to get access for an additional 30 days. This period is meant to allow for extracting the necessary data from the platform. Historical data extraction from your account will be available to retrieve by data extraction APIs (Bold360 APIs and Nanorep APIs).
