Think of the Knowledge Base as Fuely AI's brain. Without it, Fuely won't know anything about your business — your products, services, working hours, or how to help customers. The more information you add here, the better Fuely can help your customers.

Different jobs need different sections:

  • Want Fuely to recommend products? Fill in your Catalog
  • Need help with bookings? Set up Orders and bookings
  • Looking for customer support? Add your FAQ

You can start with just one section if you want to test one thing first. But remember — the more Fuely knows about your business, the better it can help your customers. So it's worth taking time to fill in as much as you can.

The Knowledge Base holds your business facts — what the AI knows. How and where the AI behaves on each channel (tone, greetings, reply rules) lives in Automations.

Set it up in the Knowledge Base

Open Knowledge Base in the left sidebar and fill in the sections below.

About

This is where you tell Fuely AI the basics about your business. Fill in as much as you can — this information helps Fuely answer questions about your company, location, and business hours accurately.

FieldWhat to add
Company nameYour business name as customers know it
EmailAddress customers can reach you at
PhoneNumber they can contact you at
Business hoursWhen you're open (like Mon–Fri, 9–19)
AddressYour physical location if you have one
WebsiteYour company website
Additional infoSpecial features of your business, return policies, anything else customers often ask about

Orders and bookings

FieldWhat to add
Placing ordersHow customers can order (like via phone, WhatsApp, or Instagram)
Payment optionsAvailable payment methods (like PayPal, Stripe, credit card)
DeliveryShipping options
Booking requirementsWhat you need from customers to complete a booking (like address, contact info, product selection, payment method)
How to bookWhere customers can make bookings (like your booking link or website)

Catalog

Catalog is where you add your products or services. Keep your catalog under 50 items — this helps Fuely AI give more accurate recommendations to your customers.

Catalog is required if you want the AI to recommend products or book appointments.

For each product you can add:

FieldWhat to add
Product or serviceName of what you're selling (like Premium T-shirt)
DescriptionDetails about your product or service, including: what it is and what it's made of, available options (sizes, colors, etc.), pricing, what's included, benefits, characteristics, wait time or availability
PhotosUp to 10 images per item — the AI will send these photos to customers when they ask about the product or service

FAQ

This is where you add common questions and answers about your business. The more questions you add, the better Fuely AI can help your customers with basic inquiries.

FAQ is required if you want the AI to handle customer support questions.

For each question you can add:

FieldWhat to add
QuestionCommon customer questions about: specific use cases (Can I order a custom design?), special situations (What happens if I miss my appointment?), policies beyond basics (Do you offer student discounts?), process details (How long do changes in order usually take?), common troubleshooting (What if my size is out of stock?)
AnswerClear and complete answers that Fuely can use to help customers

Or ask the AI Co-Worker

Tell it what you want in chat:

"Add my business hours, address, and top 10 FAQs to the knowledge base."

"Add a new service to my catalog: gel manicure, $35, 45 minutes."

It applies the change and confirms what it set.

Tips

  • Start with the sections that match what you want the AI to do first.
  • Add as much detail as you can — it helps Fuely give better answers.
  • Keep your catalog under 50 items for best results.
