A module that makes the receptionist answer only from the business facts and knowledge base, and say so plainly when the answer is not there.
Your receptionist answers general questions about the business and you need it to stop filling gaps with answers that only sound right. Saves about 25 minutes
[BUSINESS_NAME] | e.g. Brightside Family Dental |
[KNOWLEDGE_BASE] | Paste the business facts and approved FAQ entries, or write 'the Business Facts section above' if they are already in the prompt |
[CALLBACK_PROMISE] | e.g. someone from the team will call you back the same business day |
Before launch, ask the agent five questions the facts do not answer, such as parking, weekend hours or a brand the business does not carry. If it answers any of them with confidence, add the missing fact or tighten the rule before a real caller hears the guess.
For website chat, let the agent share the matching page link from the facts as a clickable link when the answer needs more than two sentences.
Test this prompt with a few practice calls before real callers hear it. Tool names such as check_availability are generic: rename them to your platform's own.
