Introduction

The Help and Learning Resources area is where you can find the information you need, no matter where you are within the Kore.ai XO Platform. You will always find the Help button at the top right of your screen, in every area of the Platform. 

The main sections available in the Help menu are: 

• Support: You can find a variety of ways to receive support while using the XO Platform. This section is not dynamic.
• Topic Guide: Depending on the product feature that you are using within the XO Platform, this section will show contextual help, that is specific to the area that you are navigating. There is an overview of that topic (or a video explaining it), as well as related FAQs. 
• Setup Guide: The Setup Guide takes you step by step through the Virtual Assistant building process and shows you a status related to what is done and what still needs work. This section is only available in the Help menu once you select a VA to work with. There is no Setup Guide on the main Platform Landing Page, where your VAs are listed, since a VA is not selected yet.

Now, let us look at every section, in more detail:
