Workflow

From source coverage to controlled customer answers.

The Corthex operating loop stays consistent, while the emphasis changes by page intent and audience.

Step 1

01

Connect the knowledge that should ground the answer

Corthex indexes files, URLs, product context, and operational policies so the assistant has a controlled evidence layer before it ever speaks to a visitor.

  • Upload documents, paste text, or import URLs.
  • Chunk and embed content for vector retrieval.
  • Keep source names available for answer citations.

Step 2

02

Answer with retrieval, page context, and tool policy

The assistant combines the user's message with relevant knowledge, current page context, and enabled tools such as commerce lookup or live site lookup.

  • Prefer exact source matches before general model knowledge.
  • Route unclear or risky questions to fallback behavior.
  • Show source-backed answers when evidence is available.

Step 3

03

Escalate, measure, and improve the coverage loop

Human teams can take over live conversations, review unresolved questions, and turn gaps into new knowledge sources or better prompts.

  • Use staff handoff for high-intent or complex conversations.
  • Track questions, leads, contact history, and usage.
  • Improve source coverage from real support demand.

Buyer intent

Why teams search for RAG chatbots

Teams usually reach this page when a generic chatbot is no longer enough. They need an assistant that can answer from controlled knowledge, cite what it used, and hand off to people when confidence, compliance, or revenue risk demands it.

  • Replace ungrounded answers with retrieval-backed responses.
  • Make product, policy, and support content usable inside chat.
  • Keep operators in control of escalation and improvement loops.

Corthex approach

RAG works best when retrieval, product context, and escalation are designed together.

Corthex combines vector retrieval with page-aware context, optional live sitemap lookup, and staff workflows so the generated answer has both evidence and an operational escape hatch.

  • Knowledge ingestion keeps the answer surface tied to current sources.
  • Page context and live lookup reduce stale responses on public sites.
  • Staff console and analytics close the gap between automation and support quality.

Corthex structure

Built for clear customer answers

Each Corthex page uses a direct answer, fact table, workflow, comparison framing, related questions, and structured data. That gives buyers, operators, and AI assistants clear passages to understand and reuse.

  • Short answer block near the top of the page.
  • Specific feature facts instead of vague slogans.
  • Internal links that make the Corthex platform map easy to follow.
