Adding a text analyzer for an email bot
To improve the artificial intelligence of Pega Email Bot™ and its ability to detect the correct information from emails, you can configure one or more advanced text analyzers for an application. In this case, the text analyzers examine user input one by one, until the system finds a response.
For example, you can configure the first text analyzer to detect only entities or topics in the email body, another one to detect only entities or topics in the email attachments, and a third analyzer to detect entities or topics in both the email body and attachments.- In the navigation pane of App Studio, click Channels.
- In the Current channel interfaces section, click the icon that represents your existing Email channel.
- In the Email channel, click the Behavior tab.
- In the Text Analyzer section, select the Use
advanced configuration checkbox.In the advanced configuration mode, you configure the advanced text analyzers that use natural language processing (NLP) and adaptive and predictive analytics. If you do not use advanced configuration, you configure the default text analyzer that exactly matches user input to a response.
