# Knowledge Base

> Teach your AI agent everything it should know about your restaurant — parking, terrace, dietary options, policies — so it answers like a member of your team.

The **knowledge base** is your agent's memory of everything that makes your restaurant *yours*. EatNow already provides the operational facts (hours, capacity, deposit policy); the knowledge base covers the rest — the questions only you can answer.

You'll find it under **Settings → AI Agent → Knowledge base**.

<Frame caption="The knowledge base — every question and answer the agent can use, in one place.">

Each entry is a simple **question / answer** pair. The agent reads them in real time, so an edit takes effect on the very next conversation.

### 1. The onboarding wizard

The quickest way to teach your agent the basics. Click **Run onboarding** from the AI Agent page and answer \~16 common questions, one screen at a time — parking, dress code, kids, pets, accessibility, terrace, smoking, dietary options, WiFi, and more.

</Frame>

* **Skip** anything that doesn't apply to you.
* Tweak the question wording if you'd phrase it differently.
* Add your own questions at the end.

Running the wizard again later never deletes what's there — it only adds. So you can do a quick first pass and come back.

### 2. Add an entry manually

Click **Add** and fill in:

| Field                  | What to put                                                                                                                               |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Question**           | How a customer would naturally ask it (*"Do you have a terrace?"*).                                                                       |
| **Answer**             | The reply the agent should give. Keep it factual and friendly.                                                                            |
| **Language**           | Pick a language, or **Any** if the answer works in every language.                                                                        |
| **Valid from / until** | Optional. Use it for time-bound facts — *"closed for renovation until March 15"* — and the agent stops using it automatically afterwards. |

### 3. Save an answer from a conversation

This is how your agent gets smarter over time. When a customer asks something the agent didn't know, it hands the conversation to you. After you reply in the inbox, click **Save to FAQ** — EatNow turns your reply into a clean, reusable entry.

<Frame caption="Save to FAQ suggests a tidy, reusable version of your answer — edit it, then save.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/eatnow/GZg_M_tiiCZcXUbZ/images/screenshots/agent-savefaq.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=GZg_M_tiiCZcXUbZ&q=85&s=78407f5f64f5d53711249faa94f48d42" alt="The Save to FAQ panel with a suggested question and answer" width="1165" height="638" data-path="images/screenshots/agent-savefaq.png" />
</Frame>

It rewrites your one-off reply into a general question and answer, picks the language, and shows how confident it is. Review the suggestion, edit anything, and **Save** — next time, the agent answers on its own.

## Finding and managing entries

The list has filters to keep things tidy as it grows:

* **Search** by question or answer text.
* Filter by **language** or **source** (*Onboarding*, *Added manually*, *From a conversation*).
* Show **only active** entries.

Every entry shows its **origin** and a **status**. To retire an answer without losing it, deactivate it — the agent stops seeing it, and you can switch it back on any time.

<Tip>
  **Quality beats quantity.** A handful of clear, correct answers serve your customers far better than dozens of vague ones. Keep answers specific and up to date — especially prices, hours, and seasonal policies.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Avoid putting things EatNow already manages (opening hours, capacity, deposit amounts) into the knowledge base — the agent reads those live from your settings, so duplicating them risks contradictions.
