Common Module Combinations
Most scenarios don't use just a single module. Here are common combinations:
Smart Customer Service
The most basic and common combination. The Agent uses the Knowledge Base to answer product questions, and FAQ handles high-frequency questions.
Business Assistant
Can look up product information (Knowledge Base), check inventory and pricing (Database), and help customers place orders (Tools).
Automated Reporting
The Agent uses Tools to retrieve data, Agent Scheduling triggers it on a timer, and results are automatically pushed to Slack or LINE.
Process-Guided Bot
Skills define the complete SOP. During the process, the Agent queries the Knowledge Base for reference materials and uses Tools to execute actions.
Still Not Sure?
Start with the simplest setup: Agent + Knowledge Base. Get the Agent answering questions first, then decide what capabilities to add based on actual user feedback after going live.
