How is this better than a static help center?
The Brainfish program delivers contextual, measurable, and always‑fresh portal guidance instead of static, isolated help pages.
Static-only limits
- Users must leave the portal, search a separate site, and guess which article matches their task.
- Manual updates lag behind portal releases, so screenshots and steps quickly become incorrect.
- Teams get little insight into which articles resolved issues or triggered extra contacts.
Brainfish program advantages
- Answers appear inside the portal based on page, role, and account context for each user.
- Docs sync automatically from source systems, keeping workflows aligned with every portal release.
- Analytics reveal resolved intents, failed searches, and gaps so teams improve what matters most.
When is an AI knowledge base program most valuable?
The program is most valuable when portal traffic is high, journeys are complex, and client expectations keep rising.
- Seasonal or campaign‑driven traffic peaks where portal tickets spike and support capacity cannot scale.
- Frequent changes to portal layouts, policies, or entitlement rules that confuse returning users.
- Complex, regulated, or multi‑step processes like onboarding, case submission, or compliance attestations.
- Multi‑region Client Self-Service Portals that require localized, consistent guidance across languages.
