KB Gap Analysis from Customer Conversations

What a KB gap looks like in practice

A gap is not just a missing article — it is any question where AI or agents struggle to give a grounded, confident answer from indexed content.

Customer asks twice because the first answer was vague
RAG returns low confidence or weak citations
Bot offers escalation because policy content is missing
Agents paste the same manual reply daily

Signals Zynli uses

Low-confidence RAG

Bot reply metadata flags weak retrieval before escalation.

Escalation offers

Automation stops when KB and workflows cannot resolve.

Cluster frequency

Content Opportunities groups semantically similar visitor questions.

Coverage labels

none / weak / partial / strong per cluster against tenant RAG.

Fixing gaps: KB vs workflow vs handoff

Not every gap needs a new article. Route fixes to the right layer.

Missing policy → KB article or FAQ block
Missing live data → API workflow action
Sensitive exception → handoff rule + agent playbook
Wrong locale content → tag KB source with locale and re-ingest

Connecting gaps to Content Opportunities briefs

After clustering, generate a brief per high-priority opportunity. Briefs include outline and FAQ suggestions so content owners can publish without re-reading hundreds of chat threads.

KB gap analysis vs manual ticket tagging

Manual tagging

Agents label tickets subjectively — slow and inconsistent at volume.

Frequently asked questions

How often should we run gap analysis?

Run Content Opportunities monthly or after catalog, policy, or pricing changes. Review escalated conversations weekly for urgent one-off gaps.

How is PII handled in analysis?

Message text is redacted using patterns consistent with audit logging before LLM extraction. Agent internal notes are not included by default.

Who can access Content Opportunities?

Workspace admins on Pro or Enterprise with the content_opportunities entitlement.

Do multilingual KB gaps show separately?

Locale-tagged sources are checked via tenant RAG. Gaps often appear when customers ask in a language without matching KB content — tag sources by locale to improve coverage.

How does this relate to website KB crawl?

Website crawl populates RAG. Gap analysis tells you what to add or fix in those sources after customers actually ask.
