Self service chat/social bot RFP guide
  • Can you demonstrate a multi-turn conversation where the bot retrieves data from our specific CRM and performs a 'write-back' action, such as updating a customer's address?
  • How does your system monitor for 'model drift' post-deployment, and what is the specific process for alerting our team if the bot's accuracy begins to decline?
  • Who owns the intellectual property of the fine-tuned model weights and the synthetic data generated from our customer interactions?
  • What specific technical safeguards are in place to prevent 'prompt injection' or 'jailbreaking,' and how do you document these security tests?
