Technical Definition

A system used to store, organize, and retrieve information, often integrated with AI for quick access.

A KMS provides the factual and procedural information that both human agents and AI systems need to answer customer queries. For conversational AI, intent recognition often triggers searches within the KMS to find the most relevant answer. Efficient KMS integration is crucial for providing accurate and timely responses.
