Why Is My AI Giving Wrong Answers (2)?
If your AI assistant occasionally gives incorrect or confusing answers, you’re not alone.
The good news: in most cases, this isn’t a bug — it’s a training or configuration issue that can be fixed.
1. Incomplete or Missing Training Content
The AI can only answer based on the information it knows. If key pages, FAQs, or product details are missing, the assistant may guess or provide vague answers.
Common causes:
- Important pages were not scanned
- New content was added but not rescanned
- Manual training data is too short or incomplete
Fix: Add missing information or rescan your website content.
2. Outdated Content
If your website or documentation has changed, but the AI was trained before those updates, it may still reference old information.
Fix: Use Content Sync or Retrain AI after major updates.
3. Conflicting Information
When different pages say different things, the AI may mix answers or choose the wrong version.
- Pricing mentioned differently on multiple pages
- Old blog posts contradicting current docs
- FAQs not aligned with product changes
Fix: Remove outdated content or clarify the correct source.
4. Poorly Written Rules
Rules guide how the AI behaves and answers. Vague or conflicting rules can confuse the assistant.
Examples of problematic rules:
- “Always be brief” + “Always give detailed explanations”
- Rules that contradict the actual content
- Too many rules trying to control every response
Fix: Keep rules clear, simple, and consistent.
5. Automatic Training Limitations
Automatic website scanning is powerful, but it may include irrelevant sections like:
- Legal disclaimers
- Cookie notices
- Navigation or footer content
This can introduce noise into training data.
Fix: Edit or supplement with manual training content.
6. Asking Questions Outside the Knowledge Scope
Sometimes users ask questions that are simply outside what your AI assistant was trained on.
Fix: Add fallback rules like: “If unsure, say you don’t have that information.”
How to Improve Accuracy Quickly
- Review and update training content regularly
- Use manual training for critical information
- Rescan or retrain after major site changes
- Keep AI rules short and focused
