The confidence score lets you decide precisely how your bot should interpret the user’s words.
Whenever the user types a message, the bot analyses its accuracy and pairs it with the most matching interaction. The accuracy is shown as a number; the higher the number, the better the match. This result is called a matching score. So, if there are three available user inputs, the bot will choose the one with the highest result.
Moreover, the confidence score functions as a threshold that determines the lowest matching score that is acceptable to trigger a bot response. If the matching score falls below the confidence score, the bot will trigger a Fallback interaction.
You can provide an effortless and smooth chatting experience by setting the confidence score correctly.
