The term “Contextualized Answers” refers to system outputs (e.g., in chat, email, voice, UI) that dynamically adapt content and phrasing to the current context - such as user intent, conversation history, roles/permissions, CRM/ERP master data, real-time business data, channel, and language. The goal is to deliver precise, auditable, and action-oriented answers grounded in the approved knowledge base and company policies.
Intent & Entity Detection: Identify what the user wants and extract key entities (products, order IDs, locations).
Session & Context Management: Persist dialogue state, pass parameters (e.g., customer, case ID), and manage lifespan/validity (TTL).
Knowledge Grounding / Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Fuse approved sources (manuals, policies, KB, intranet) via search/vector index with citations.
Data Connectivity & Orchestration: Live calls to CRM/ERP/ticketing/BI via APIs for lookup and enrichment (order status, SLAs, inventory).
Personalization & Segmentation: Tailor responses by role, tenant, region, language, customer segment, or contract status.
Authorization & Compliance Controls: RBAC/ABAC checks, privacy (PII redaction), policy and audit compliance.
Clarifying Questions & Disambiguation: Structured follow-ups when inputs are missing or ambiguous; slot filling.
Answer Formatting & Structured Output: Render text, tables, JSON, or templates (email, ticket notes), incl. units/date formats.
Channel & Tone Adaptation: Adjust length, style, and formality for chat, email, self-service portals, or voice.
Multilingual & Localization: Correct terminology, units, and legal notes per market.
Quality Assurance & Monitoring: Relevance and confidence scores, feedback loops, A/B tests, telemetry (latency, resolution rate).
Fallback & Escalation: Safe defaults and handover to human agents with full context transfer.
