HCL Doc IQ chatbot

Instead of spending time navigating through multiple documentation pages or manually searching for specific topics, you can simply ask questions in natural language and receive clear, contextual answers based on the available documentation.

Doc IQ helps users find information faster and more efficiently by understanding the intent behind their questions and directing them to the most relevant content. This reduces the time and effort required to locate documentation, improves productivity, and makes it easier to discover related resources. Whether you are looking for a specific procedure, troubleshooting guidance, or product information, Doc IQ provides quick access to the knowledge you need while helping you get the most value from the Verse help documentation.

It finds relevant information in documentation and knowledge base (KB) articles.

    The chatbot analyzes documentation and returns responses based on relevant topics.

How it works

This process helps you quickly understand a topic while still giving access to the full documentation when needed.
