AnswerGenius Customization

ClickHelp provides several customization options to align AnswerGenius with your needs and audience.


Visibility & Access

In the Visibility & Access section, you can configure the following settings.

Show the AnswerGenius widget for readers in publications

The first option in the Visibility & Access section controls whether AnswerGenius is available on your portal. When enabled, AnswerGenius is displayed on the portal. When disabled, it is hidden from readers.

Option that turns AnswerGenius on and off

Access to restricted publications

To allow the widget to source answers from restricted publications, enable the Access to restricted publications checkbox. Note that AnswerGenius will only provide answers from restricted publications according to the current Power Reader permissions. If a Power Reader does not have access to specific publications, AnswerGenius ignores these publications when composing a reply.

You can also control the widget’s visibility for your readers using the Widget visibility setting, which includes the following options:

  • Show to everyone: The widget is visible to all visitors.
  • Show to Power Readers only: The widget is shown only to Power Readers.
  • Show to anonymous users only: The widget is shown only to users who are not logged in. Automatically disables Access to restricted publications checkbox.

Search only on the current site

If you have Multi-site setup, this option controls whether AnswerGenius uses only the current site or all available sites for its replies. The option affects only anonymous users and Power Readers. Contributors still receive answers based on the publications they have access to and the Where the assistant works option. 

Search only on the current site option for Multi-site portals

When the option is enabled, AnswerGenius responds only based on the current site and does not use Federated Search sources. When disabled, AnswerGenius uses content from all available sites, including external Federated Search sources.

Where the assistant works

AnswerGenius works only with publications that are explicitly selected:

A list of selected publications to be available for AnswerGenius.

When you select a publication, the following happens:

  • The widget is displayed for readers in the publication.
  • The publication’s content will be used when generating answers.

If a publication is not selected, the widget will not appear in it, and its content is completely excluded from answers — even as a fallback when no relevant information is found in the publication where the user is currently chatting with AnswerGenius.

This allows you to precisely control which documentation is exposed to AI-powered search and answers.

Note that the Where the assistant works settings are applied before the user access rules. If a publication is not selected there, its content is ignored regardless of reader permissions.

Look & Feel

You can personalize AnswerGenius by choosing a Primary color.

AI behavior

For more precise control over AnswerGenius's behavior, you can configure the following additional prompts:

  • Assistant persona: This information is used when users ask AnswerGenius about its capabilities. You can use it to define the assistant's name, specify your company brand, and describe its purpose and scope of knowledge.
  • Terminology & context: This prompt helps customize how user queries are interpreted. It allows you to define your domain knowledge, clarify company-specific terms, jargon, or abbreviations, to ensure that user questions are understood correctly.
  • Response guidelines: This prompt controls how AnswerGenius writes its final answers, including tone, style, and how to reply when no answer is found.
