In today’s fast-paced business world, users expect support that’s immediate, accurate, and easy to access. Traditional knowledge bases, while useful, often struggle to meet these demands due to complex navigation and high maintenance needs.
An AI knowledge base software transforms self-service support by providing instant answers to common questions, guiding users through processes, and empowering customers to resolve issues independently. This innovative solution reduces pressure on support teams and enhances customer experience with intuitive, conversational interactions that feel seamless and responsive.
Miquido’s proprietary framework, AI Kickstarter, streamlines the development of AI knowledge bases by providing a robust, pre-configured tools that significantly accelerate setup and customization. Leveraging a Retrieval-Augmented Generation architecture, AI Kickstarter integrates seamlessly with multiple top-performing language models, including GPT-4, Mistral, and Claude, allowing businesses to deliver precise, context-aware responses. With AI Kickstarter, organizations can quickly create a scalable, intuitive knowledge base that’s both efficient and easy to maintain, offering customers reliable, immediate support.
Who it’s for:
- Customer support teams: Enterprises seeking to streamline support and reduce ticket volumes.
- IT departments: Organizations aiming to provide internal teams with a self-service portal for technical support.

Challenges of traditional AI knowledge base software
- High volume of support tickets: Without effective self-service options, users end up submitting tickets for routine questions, overwhelming the support team and slowing down response times.
- Complex navigation: Traditional knowledge bases require users to know exactly where to search, with information often hidden under multiple layers, leading to frustration and extended resolution times.
- High support costs: Phone support averages $17 per ticket, while chat and email cost around $16 each. These expenses accumulate quickly, challenging ROI, especially for common, repetitive inquiries.
- Customer frustration: Over 60% of customers are frustrated by long wait times or lack of immediate support, which can damage a brand’s reputation and customer loyalty.
- Lack of personalized support: More than 70% of customers expect service reps to instantly recognize their history and needs, but traditional systems often fall short, making users feel like just another ticket number.

AI knowledge base workflow: explained step-by-step
- Data integration: The AI knowledge base software consolidates various resources – like FAQs, product specs, manuals, and technical documents – into a unified, searchable database. Using AI-driven data processing, it transforms information from different sources into a centralized, accessible repository.
- NLP with RAG for contextual responses: AI Kickstarter utilizes natural language processing enhanced with Retrieval-Augmented Generation to interpret user queries accurately. By blending traditional NLP with RAG, the system retrieves relevant information dynamically and generates responses that are contextually precise and aligned with user intent. This enables more comprehensive, tailored responses for each interaction.
- Real-time query resolution: When a user asks a question, the AI instantly searches its knowledge base to retrieve the best answer. This real-time processing provides fast, accurate responses across multiple channels, including web portals, AI chatbots, and mobile apps, delivering reliable, on-demand information that enhances user experience.
- Guardrails and evaluators for consistency and safety: Built-in guardrails and evaluators ensure that each response is accurate, compliant, and secure. These components assess responses for quality and relevance, safeguarding against incomplete or inappropriate information. Guardrails protect sensitive data and uphold consistent, professional standards across all interactions.
