How to configure the Bot

Next you need to configure the Bot with the chat scope and other parameters explained below:

• API Key- the is the key of the user that has created the BGT bot. To get the Key go to the user settings in the BGD. see here: Public API for integration | Getting API KEY

• DataSource (private and public=both, public, private). This is currently set by default to “Company and public” and can be overwritten by the user, so it does not need to be configured.

• PrivateDataSource(Content-item, Collection, All)
  Note that if you allow all, any user in the channel can get answers from all the content you have permission to.

• PrivateDataID (The ID of the content or the collection, not needed for All)

• AIModel (optional. Default will be as for the user. Available values: GPT3_5, GPT4)

• ChatId (optional): If provided, the question will be added to the existing chat with an external chat ID equal to the provided value. If no chat exists, a new one will be created.

• ChatName (optional)- the name of the chat that appears in the auditing

The configuration is saved in the setting under the value “SlackBotConfigurations” and contains a JSON with a list of all channels and, for each channel, the relevant values (scop. id etc)

The bot will send the following parameters:

The bot can be configured to give answers by one of the following options:

To change the data source, type one of the above options based on the following example:

Data source Notes

1. Use public when possible to speed up the answer and give better answers.

2. When set to Private, the bot will suggest using public if it does not find the answer.

3. When set to both, the bot will indicate the source so the user can understand whether the answer was from public or private data.

Configuring the Bot

To set the values, type text as in the example below:

DataSource

1. Both -The bot will first try to answer based on the content configured by the user who set it up. If it does not manage to answer, it will try to answer using public pre-trained knowledge.

2. Public- Get answers from pre-trained public knowledge only and not search for company private data. For better performance when, you know you don’t need company data.

3. Prviate - Get answers only from the private company data that was configured for the bot

PrviateDataSource

1. Content-item - Is used for a specific content item, such as a document or a site.

2. Collection- A bundle of several content items. For example, several documents

3. All - All the data the user who set the bot can access. In this case, it is recommended to set up a specific user and not use the Admin API key, as admins typically have broad access.

PrivateDataID

To get the ID triple-click the line and copy the value of the content item or collection

APIKey

You can get the API key from the field API KEY in the user settings. A dedicated user for the bot is recommended to limit access to relevant content only.
