Troubleshooting AI Issues

Common problems and solutions when working with ZIA.

Common Issues

ZIA gives inaccurate responses

  • Review and update your knowledge base articles for accuracy
  • Add more detailed information for the topics where ZIA is struggling
  • Check if your system context has conflicting instructions
  • Ensure your knowledge base covers the specific query type

ZIA is not responding to certain questions

  • Verify that ZIA is enabled on the channel the customer is contacting from
  • Check if the confidence threshold is set too high (lowering it may help)
  • Add knowledge base articles that cover the topic
  • Review the system context for any restrictive rules

ZIA responses are too generic

  • Add more specific, detailed articles to your knowledge base
  • Include real examples and step-by-step instructions in your training content
  • Customize the system context with your brand voice and specific instructions

ZIA is not escalating properly

  • Review your escalation rules in the AI Agent settings
  • Define clear escalation triggers (e.g., angry customers, billing disputes)
  • Test the escalation flow using the test chat

AI replies are slow

  • This is usually caused by AI model load — response times may vary
  • Check the system status page for any ongoing performance issues
  • Contact support if response times are consistently above 10 seconds
