Getting Started

AI Configuration

Configure Keva's AI settings for your support needs

Keva's AI behavior is highly configurable. This guide covers the essential settings to get started.

Autonomy Level

The autonomy level controls how independently Keva operates.

LevelNameBehavior
1Draft OnlyAI creates drafts, you review and send everything
2SuggestAI suggests responses, you approve each one
3Semi-AutoAI handles routine tickets, escalates complex ones
4High AutoAI handles most tickets, minimal human intervention
5Full AutoAI operates fully autonomously

Choosing a Level

Recommendation: Start at Level 2 or 3. Increase gradually as you build confidence in Keva's responses.

Start with Level 2-3 if:

  • You're new to AI support
  • You have strict brand guidelines
  • Your support requires nuanced responses
  • You're in a regulated industry

Consider Level 4-5 if:

  • You have high ticket volume
  • Most tickets are routine inquiries
  • You've trained Keva with knowledge base content
  • You've tested extensively at lower levels

Setting Autonomy Level

  1. Go to Settings → AI
  2. Find the Autonomy Level slider
  3. Drag to your desired level
  4. Click Save

System Prompt

The system prompt shapes Keva's personality and response style.

Default Prompt

Keva comes with a professional, helpful default prompt. You can customize it to match your brand voice.

Customization

  1. Go to Settings → AI → System Prompt
  2. Edit the prompt to include:
    • Your company name and description
    • Brand voice guidelines
    • Specific instructions or constraints
    • Common scenarios to handle

Example Customizations

Friendly & Casual:

You are a friendly support agent for Acme Co. Use casual language,
first names, and occasional emoji. Keep responses brief and helpful.

Professional & Formal:

You represent Acme Corporation's customer service. Maintain a
professional tone. Address customers formally. Provide thorough,
detailed responses.

Technical Support:

You are a technical support specialist for DevTools Inc. Assume
customers have technical knowledge. Include code examples when
relevant. Link to documentation.

Additional safeguards for AI behavior.

Confirm with Customer

When enabled, Keva asks the customer to confirm before proceeding.

Approval Queue

At autonomy levels 2-3, actions go through an approval queue:

  1. AI generates response/action
  2. Appears in Approvals tab
  3. You review and approve/reject
  4. Only approved actions execute
