Personality

How this AI agent writes, what it does when it doesn't know, and when it hands over to a person.

Where this is

Brand → (your brand) → Vex → Personality. This screen is about this one AI agent and nothing else: what it is called, whether it is switched on, how it writes, what it does when it cannot answer, and when it passes the visitor to a person. It has four tabs — General, Answers, Agent Handoff and Danger Zone — and one Save button that covers all of them. The permission is Vex.

General

  • Name — what this AI agent is called in your dashboard. Visitors never see it.
  • Enable this agent — the on/off switch. While it is off, the agent does not respond to visitors at all.
  • AI Models — the Primary Model and the Fast Model behind this agent. Yaplet chooses and maintains them; they are shown for information and cannot be changed.

Answers

  • Emoji Usage — the AI uses emojis by default to keep the tone friendly. Tick Disable emojis in AI responses for a more formal voice.
  • Answer instructions — extra instructions attached to every AI prompt. Use it for tone, house rules, or facts the agent should always have to hand, for example: "Always greet users by name. Never discuss competitor products. Our return policy is 30 days."

When the AI doesn't know the answer

Choose what happens when the agent finds nothing relevant in this brand's knowledge:

OptionWhat happens
Politely decline (recommended)The agent tells the visitor it has no information on that topic. It does not guess and does not invent an answer.
Offer to connect with a humanIf a human agent is online, it asks whether the visitor would like to be connected and waits for a Yes or No. If nobody is available, it politely declines instead.
Offer to connect with a human is only selectable while Automatic Agent Handoff is on, over on the Agent Handoff tab. With handoff off the option is grayed out and the behavior falls back to Politely decline.
This applies when nothing at all was found. When a message asks about several things and your knowledge covers only some of them, the agent answers those and says plainly it has no information on the rest — it does not decline the whole message or offer a human for it. How the lookup works, topic by topic, is on How Vex finds answers.

Either way, the agent writes a natural sentence in the visitor's own language rather than sending a fixed template.

Agent Handoff

  • Automatic Agent Handoff — the master switch for passing a conversation to a person. With it on, visitors can ask for a human and the Offer to connect with a human option above becomes available. Nobody is ever transferred silently: the visitor confirms with a Yes/No prompt first.
  • The handoff line — what the visitor sees immediately before being connected — is one of Yaplet's own sentences, said in whatever language the visitor is reading, so a German visitor gets it in German without you writing anything. See Widget Languages.
  • Show 'Talk to Support' Button After — how many messages a visitor must send within five minutes before the "Talk to the support team" button appears, so that it does not show up too early. The default is 6.
If you switch automatic handoff off, build a workflow to catch the requests instead. Without one, the agent can tell a visitor it is fetching a colleague and then not do it. Build the workflow on this brand's Workflows page, set its trigger to User says, and give it the intent "The user wants to talk to the support team". The screen offers a link straight there whenever the switch is off.

Usage limits

How many answers this AI agent gives one person in 24 hours is a brand setting, not a personality one — the same numbers cap the phone agent too — so it lives on Brand → Brand settings → Usage limits (permission Brands). The Answers tab links straight there. What the caps are and what happens when a visitor hits one is described on Brand settings.

Danger Zone

Delete this AI agent removes the agent, its conversation starters, its suggestions and its report history. This cannot be undone.

Your knowledge is not affected. Knowledge bases, documentation, files, website pages, Q&A entries and products all belong to the brand rather than to the agent, and stay exactly as they are. Add another AI agent later and it answers from the same material. There is no list of chatbots to go back to, so after deleting you land on the brand's Vex screen with the offer to add one.

Settings that live on the brand

Five settings describe the company and its content rather than one agent's personality, so they belong to the brand — and they apply to everything that answers for the brand: chat, phone calls, the inbox's suggested replies and AI social posts alike — except that phone calls ignore the search depth.

SettingWhere it is
Company Name and Website URLBrand → Brand settings → General
Usage limitsBrand → Brand settings → Usage limits
Knowledge Base LanguageSet on each source individually, on Brand → Knowledge
Search depth (formerly Smart Answer Matching)Brand → Brand settings → Advanced, as Search depth (Standard or Deep)
Privacy Protection (PII Masking)Brand → Brand settings → Advanced, as Privacy masking
There is nothing to wire up. A brand owns one chat widget and one pool of knowledge, and Vex answers for that brand, so its knowledge always belongs to the right AI agent. The widget itself is at Brand → Chat widget.
Several languages work at once. Each knowledge base and documentation set carries its own language, set on Brand → Knowledge, and the brand's language is only the fallback for things with none. The agent searches in every language the brand's content is written in, up to three at a time, so a brand with an English and a Hungarian knowledge base keeps full accuracy in both. This only affects how questions are matched to content — the agent always replies in the visitor's own language.
