Release two features to manage the Discord bot so that the channels are clutter free.

  1. You can configure the Discord bot reply the messages as thread. This makes sure that the conversations are neatly grouped, makes the users to keep track of the threads easy, and keeps the main channel clutter free

  2. Now you can set what channels the bot should listen on. If configured, the bot will not reply when some tags the bot from the other channels. Again, very useful to make sure that the community uses the bot only in designated channels.

You can configure above items from the Discord settings page on your dashboard.

Discord reply as thread

Now you don't have to tag the bot and send message learn to make the bot learn from the conversation on both Slack and Discord bots. Instead, you can just react with 🧩 on the message you want it to learn. It also adds ✅ reaction to confirm that it successfully learnt the message.

It fetched the replies or the thread conversation and adds it to the knowledge base so that it uses it in the future answers. It helps in maintaining the chat space cleaner and clutter free.

Learn by reaction on Slack & Discord bots

Data gaps and analysis

August 19, 2025

Now the bot analyses the data gaps whenever it gives out an answer for any question across the channels. It primarily checks two aspects

  1. It checks how densely the data is available from knowledge base for the asked question.
  2. It checks how relavent the question is for the knowledge base

Depending on the scores for above two features, it decides if there is any potentials data gap. If so, it drafts a note explaining the topic of the data gap and points to cover.

Data gaps

Now the Discord bot supports rating the bot messages using reactions. Community can react with 👍🏻 or 👎 emojis for the bot messages to rate it up or down respectfully. It calculates number of reactions and rate the majority (higher preference to rate down).

These ratings would show up on the dashboard as usual and can be used to fine tune the bot's knowledge.

Released three significant changes to Slack bot.

  1. Private channels - Now the bot works even in private channels. Just add it the channel, tag and ask questions
  2. Lean - Tag the bot and say learn in a thread so that it adds the entire thread conversation as a knowledge item
  3. Reply broadcast - You can toggle whether to reply the answer as broadcast to the channel

Data gaps section

August 8, 2025

Now it shows the Data gaps in your documentation. It compares the queries incoming and the best match document. If the max score is lower than 0.3, it considers it as a gap in the documentation. More tools on it in future releases.

You can enable support ticket module on demand for any collection. Once enabled, there are two ways that the user can create Support Ticket from the chatbot

  • Whenver the chatbot answers a question it prompts the user if the query is resolved. If they chose NO, it shows a form which takes title, description, and email so that it can create a support ticket
  • The second way is, the chatbot itself shows the support ticket creation form whenever it has no answer from the knowledge base. It auto fills the title and descriptions. The user can just enter the email so that the support ticket gets created

Once the support ticket is created, you can manage them from Tickets page on the dashboard. The users gets all the updates such as new messages and resolution on their email. The ticket can be accessed only from an unique link wich is only sent to the user, so it is pretty secured as well.
