The Training Material tab is where your agent learns about your business. It has three input methods — website scraping, document uploads, and manual FAQs. This article covers how each works and how to get the best results from all three.

The three input methods

All three methods add to the same knowledge base. You can use any combination — most businesses use all three. After adding or changing anything, always click Sync to Voice Agent to push changes live.

🔗
Website URLs
Paste your website URL and we extract the content automatically. Good for general business context — who you are, what you do, where you operate.
📄
Documents
Upload PDF or TXT files. Best for structured information — price guides, service menus, policy documents, staff bios.
💬
FAQs
Add question and answer pairs directly. The most precise input method — what you write is what the agent learns, word for word.
🔄
Sync to Voice Agent
Always sync after any change. Without syncing, your live agent won't know about the new content. Sync takes 10–30 seconds.

Website URLs — scraping your site

Enter your website address and click + Scrape. We crawl the page, extract the readable text, and add it to your agent's knowledge base. The scraped result appears as a card below the input field with a success status once complete.

ℹ️
Scraping works best on text-heavy pages
We extract readable text — headings, paragraphs, lists. Pages that are mostly images, video, or JavaScript-rendered content may scrape with less information. For dynamic sites, supplement scraping with document uploads or FAQs.

You can scrape multiple URLs — add your homepage, your services page, and your about page separately for maximum coverage. Each appears as its own card.

Documents — PDF and TXT uploads

Click the upload area and select a PDF or TXT file. Maximum 10MB per file. Good candidates for document uploads:

  • Price guide — a PDF of your services and pricing. The agent can quote prices accurately instead of saying "I'm not sure."
  • Service area list — postcodes or towns you cover. Critical for agents that handle location-based service requests.
  • Terms and policies — cancellation policy, payment terms, warranty information.
  • Staff biographies — if callers might ask about specific team members.
  • Frequently updated info — a TXT file you maintain yourself, updated monthly, covering anything your website doesn't mention.
⚠️
Remove outdated documents
Old price guides or discontinued services in your document library will be learned by the agent. Delete any document that's no longer accurate — click the bin icon on its card, then sync.

FAQs — the most precise method

FAQs are question-and-answer pairs you write manually. They're the most direct way to teach your agent specific information, because you control exactly what the question and answer are.

What to put in FAQs

Start with the 10 questions your customers ask most often. If you're not sure what those are, think about the last 20 calls you received — what did most of them want to know? Common FAQ categories:

  • Pricing — "How much do you charge for X?"
  • Availability — "Are you open on weekends?"
  • Service area — "Do you cover [town]?"
  • Emergency response — "How quickly can you come out?"
  • Booking — "How do I book an appointment?"
  • Guarantees — "What warranty do you offer?"
  • Payment — "Do you take card payments?"

Writing good FAQ answers

Be specific and complete
"Yes, we serve Durham, Chapel Hill, and Cary. We don't currently cover Raleigh or beyond." Much better than "Yes, we serve the local area."
Match the spoken register
Write answers as you'd say them in conversation, not as formal website copy. Your agent will read them aloud — they should sound natural.
Don't be vague
"Prices vary depending on the job" teaches the agent nothing. Give real price ranges, or explain the booking-first policy for quotes.
Don't duplicate your system prompt
FAQs are for specific factual knowledge. Call handling rules belong in the system prompt. Keep them separate to avoid confusion.

When and how to sync

Click Sync to Voice Agent — the button at the top of the Training Material tab — every time you:

  • Add, edit, or delete a website URL
  • Upload or delete a document
  • Add, edit, or delete a FAQ
  • Change your system prompt

Sync takes 10–30 seconds. You'll see a confirmation once it's complete. Your live agent is updated immediately — no downtime, no missed calls during sync.

💡
Sync and test together
After every sync, go to the Test Mode tab and ask your agent a question that tests the new material. This confirms the sync worked and the agent learned what you intended.
