Metis: your company's memory

What it is

Metis is the company's memory, kept and read by its agents: what every agent knows, follows and learns. Every memory keeps its source, and a person confirms it before an agent reads it.

Where to find it

Data → Metis.

Data, Metis: the menu with Overview, Hand-offs, Agent rules, Memory, Sources, Scans and Test

The menus

  • Overview: how many memories the agents read, how many wait for a person and how many were used in 30 days.
  • Hand-offs: who gets which kind of work when an agent passes it to a person.
  • Agent rules: what agents must and must not do.
  • Memory: what was learned, with the review queue.
  • Sources: where knowledge comes from, such as your help center, website and documents, and the order agents search them in.
  • Scans: the readings of your sources that fill the memory.
  • Test: Try a question to see how an agent would answer, and Unanswered for questions it could not answer.

Confirm what agents may read

  1. Open Data → Metis. A number beside a menu means something waits there.
  2. Open Memory and go through the entries that wait for a person.
  3. Open Sources if it shows a number: a source is missing or needs attention.
  4. Open Test → Unanswered to see what customers asked that no source covers.
  5. Select How it works at the top right for a diagram of how knowledge reaches the agents.

What the marks mean

  • A number beside Memory: entries waiting for review.
  • A number beside Sources: sources that are missing or broken.
  • A number beside Scans: scans reading now.
  • A number beside Test: unanswered questions.
  • A coloured dot beside Hand-offs or Agent rules: whether that menu is complete or still needs your answers.
  • On a source: Up to date, Needs attention, Not connected or Built in.

Good to know

  • Everyone in the workspace reads Metis. Only a workspace admin edits it and confirms memories.
  • The tab shows only when Metis is switched on for your workspace.
  • Questionnaires, Policies, Customer fields and the Growth profile moved to Data → Company profile, under Fields you state yourself. Old links open there.
  • Changes here apply from an agent's next run.
