Knowledge boundary “grounded only”

How the knowledge boundary works

With the “grounded only” level, the anicall.io agent answers factual questions exclusively from your website, your documents and your answer catalog – anything not covered there becomes a knowledge gap for you to approve.

  1. Import your knowledge

    Your website (multi-page crawl), PDF, DOCX and text files, YouTube, RSS and your answer catalog form the agent's knowledge base.

  2. Answer only what's grounded

    Before every answer, anicall looks for matching sources. If there are none, the agent says so honestly and offers a callback – instead of guessing.

  3. Review after the call

    A second model checks every answer against the sources: green = grounded, yellow = question left open, red = unsupported claim.

  4. Approve the knowledge gap

    Open questions show up as knowledge gaps in your dashboard. Your approved answer is available as a source from the next call on.

More levels per agent: strict, balanced, open.

Four levels of the knowledge boundary

Per agent, you decide how closely it sticks to its knowledge: grounded only, strict, balanced or open.

Grounded only

Factual questions only with content from website, documents and answer catalog. If knowledge is missing, the agent offers a callback and the question becomes a knowledge gap.

Strict

The agent sticks to its approved tasks and clearly declines other topics.

Balanced

A little small talk is fine, then the agent steers back to its core tasks.

Open

The agent also answers questions outside its core tasks.

Where the agent gets its knowledge

An anicall agent's knowledge base consists of your website, uploaded documents, YouTube and RSS sources, and your approved answer catalog.

Website

Multi-page import of your website – services, opening hours, prices, FAQ.

Documents

PDF, DOCX and text files such as price lists, service descriptions or house rules.

YouTube & RSS

Video transcripts and content from feeds such as your blog or newsroom.

Answer catalog

Your approved answers to knowledge gaps – available as a source from the next call on.

Appointments straight into your calendar

During the call, the agent checks free slots and books appointments in Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, CalDAV or Calendly.

Google Calendar

Connect with your Google sign-in; free slots and bookings directly in the selected calendar.

Microsoft 365

Outlook calendars via your Microsoft account.

CalDAV

For calendars that support the open CalDAV standard.

Calendly

The agent uses the times of your Calendly event type and books there. Requires a paid Calendly plan.

Transfer, callback and analysis

If a caller wants to speak to a human, the agent transfers live or takes a callback request.

Live transfer

Set a transfer number per agent; on request the agent transfers the call live.

Callback request

If nobody is available, the agent takes a callback request – including the callback.requested webhook.

Parallel calls

Several calls at once instead of a busy signal.

Transcript & summary

Every call is transcribed, summarized and stored searchably in your dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI phone assistant make up answers?

With the “grounded only” level, the agent answers factual questions only with content from your knowledge base. If it finds no source, it says so and offers a callback. After the call, a second model checks every answer against the sources and shows the result as a traffic light.

What happens to questions the agent couldn't answer?

They show up as knowledge gaps in your dashboard; identical questions are counted together. You answer or dismiss them; approved answers go into the answer catalog and apply from the next call on.

Which calendars are supported?

Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, CalDAV and Calendly. Calendly requires a paid Calendly plan because booking runs through the Calendly Scheduling API.

Can I test the agent first?

Yes. On the free plan with 60 minutes you can create an agent, import your website and make test calls without a credit card.

Try it with your own website

On the free plan you import your website, make a test call and see in the review which answers were grounded.
