How you brief it
The knowledge base is how you brief the agent. Each organization has its own, organized into areas:- Brand voice: how the agent should sound.
- Policies: what it can promise, refund, or has to escalate.
- Data schemas: the people, objects, and events it can reason about.
- Company information: the facts about your business it can draw on.
build-knowledge-base skill runs that as a
guided interview: it asks what it needs, researches your own site, and hands you
a structured bundle to pass along.
On top of the knowledge base, each initiative carries its own per-initiative
context and guiding questions, the specifics of that one mission. The
knowledge base is the constant across every conversation; the per-initiative
layer is what changes from mission to mission.
How it improves from feedback
When someone on your team gives a thumbs-down to an agent message and says what was wrong, an internal agent reviews the reasoning behind that message, patches the knowledge base, and writes a new evaluation case that reproduces the failed conversation.The new version of the agent only ships if it passes that new evaluation
case, alongside every evaluation case written before it. A correction that
regresses a past fix never reaches your organization.
When it hands off to a person
The agent handles a conversation end to end when it can, and escalates the ones it shouldn’t handle. Escalated conversations land in a shared inbox where a person can take one over: reply, leave internal notes, and send or receive files. The customer’s attributes sit alongside the conversation, so whoever picks it up has context without asking the customer to repeat themselves.Guardrails while it talks
Before the agent responds, the conversation is checked for prompt injection. Before a response goes out, it’s reviewed to stop it from sharing personal data it shouldn’t.Reliability
Messages are queued and retried with spacing rather than sent in a burst. If the primary model provider goes down, Boom falls back to another one so conversations don’t stall.Related
