Who this is for

SME owners, IT leads, and managers planning an AI rollout

Key takeaways

  • An AI agent's answer quality depends entirely on how well your knowledge is organized
  • 5 types of knowledge to audit: SOPs, service scripts, pricing logic, product knowledge, and key people's tacit experience
  • Starting with customer service FAQs is the fastest way to see results
  • Incomplete knowledge organization means adopting AI just adds more confusion
  • Tacit knowledge needs systematic interviews — video recordings or manuals alone aren't enough

Implementation steps

  1. Audit existing knowledge types: SOPs, FAQs, pricing rules, product descriptions
  2. Start with customer service FAQs, collecting real customer phrasing
  3. Run knowledge-capture interviews with key people to write down their decision logic
  4. Turn the organized knowledge into a structured format, ready for a knowledge base
  5. Pick your first use case (e.g. LINE customer service) and build a first version of the AI agent

Common mistakes

  • Picking a tool first and skipping knowledge organization
  • Organizing "questions you imagine customers ask" instead of their real phrasing
  • Dumping every document into AI at once, producing low-quality answers
  • No plan for keeping the knowledge base updated, so it goes stale
  • Ignoring tacit knowledge and only organizing what's already written down
