How Does Resly Work?
Resly combines your knowledge base with AI to deliver instant, accurate support—no human needed for routine questions.
The Simple Process
1. You Add Knowledge
Upload your documentation, FAQs, help articles, or crawl your website. Resly ingests everything and makes it searchable.
Supported formats:
- PDF documents
- Markdown files
- HTML pages
- Plain text
- Website crawling
2. AI Learns Your Business
Our system processes your content and understands it semantically—meaning it gets context, not just keywords.
The AI learns from your specific business content, not generic training data.
3. Customers Ask Questions
Through chat widget or search, customers ask anything. In plain language, exactly how they’d ask a human.
4. AI Finds the Answer
Resly searches your knowledge base, understands the question’s intent, and surfaces the most relevant information.
How it works:
- Semantic search understands meaning, not just exact word matches
- Combines keyword matching with AI understanding
- Retrieves the most relevant content chunks
- Ranks results by relevance
5. Response with Sources
Every answer includes citations linking back to the original documentation. Customers see exactly where the information came from.
Source citations build trust and let customers dig deeper if needed.
6. Actions When Needed
For chat interactions, the AI can take actions like:
- Checking order status (connect to your order system)
- Creating support tickets with email notifications
- Processing refunds (connect to your payment system)
- Gathering information by asking clarifying questions
All actions are logged for your review in the ANALYZE tab.
7. Escalation to Humans
If the AI can’t help or the customer requests it, conversations escalate smoothly to your support team with full context.
When escalating, the AI includes the complete conversation history so your team has all the context they need.
What Makes It Smart
Semantic Understanding
Resly understands meaning, not just exact word matches. If a customer asks “How do I get a refund?” and your docs say “Return policy,” Resly connects the dots.
Context Awareness
The AI remembers conversation context throughout the interaction. No need to repeat information.
Learns from Your Content
Unlike generic chatbots, Resly only uses your approved knowledge base. You control the knowledge, you control the answers.
Cites Sources
Every response includes links to the original documentation, ensuring transparency and trust.
Two Interaction Modes
Chat
Full conversations for complex questions and actions. Best when customers need guidance or want to take actions like checking orders or creating tickets.
Search
Instant lookups for customers who know what they want. Perfect for documentation sites, help centers, and quick fact-finding.
Both modes use the same knowledge base, so you manage content once and deploy everywhere.
