How can I share feedback about the AI chatbot?
If you encounter any issues or have suggestions regarding our AI chatbot, please email us at support@onwebchat.com. Your feedback is crucial for enhancing our chatbot. To optimize its performance for your visitors, we recommend reviewing the AI chatbot's interaction history and updating it with new Q&A (questions and answers) pairs as necessary.
Can the AI bot understand questions, even those with errors, in any language?
Absolutely! Our AI chatbot excels at understanding questions, even those with mistakes. It leverages your data to provide accurate and freshly crafted responses, akin to human communication. Additionally, it offers multilingual support, allowing it to converse with your visitors in their preferred language, regardless of the language of your data.
Is my data secure with the AI chatbot?
At onWebChat, your security and privacy are paramount. Our AI chatbot upholds rigorous data protection, just like all our offerings. It utilizes OpenAI's GPT-4 model, ensuring chats are used solely to provide the service and don't refine OpenAI's models. While OpenAI may monitor data for misuse and retain it securely for up to 30 days, it is then permanently deleted.
