What the audit does

Let AI find blockers. Keep approval human.

Most teams discover the real work after the chatbot project starts: outdated docs, conflicting policies, missing answers, and tribal knowledge trapped in tickets.

AI maps customer intents

Start with the questions your AI support agent is expected to handle. Meihaku groups them into topics and intent checks.

Evidence shows what is missing

Meihaku scans read-only support source bundles, then marks each intent as ready, partial, gap, or conflict with citations.

Humans approve the export

Your team adds missing answers, picks canonical sources, approves cited guidance, and exports only approved content.

Sample audit output

The AI pass becomes a reviewable readiness map.

Each customer intent gets a status, source evidence, blocker, and approval decision your team can act on before export.

Score your readiness
Status

Ready

Refund window

Refund policy and Zendesk macro agree on 30 days.

Approve answer with citation.

Conflict

Delayed international order

Help center says 10 business days; macro says 14.

Pick the canonical source before export.

Gap

Admin email change

No approved source explains the verification path.

Add the missing answer or keep unsupported.

Source and data boundary

Transparent AI, not black-box approval.

Buyers need to know what AI does, what stays read-only, and where human approval gates the downstream bot.

Review security

Source access

Read-only source review

Review the policies, macros, SOPs, FAQ docs, ticket examples, and internal notes your support team already uses.

AI role

First-pass evidence review

AI compares source content against customer intents and shows the citations behind every readiness status.

Governance

Human-approved export

Answers only move downstream after your team resolves blockers and approves the cited guidance.

Why readiness comes first

Every unsupported AI answer becomes your company’s answer.

If the source knowledge is missing, stale, or contradictory, your AI agent can still answer with confidence. Meihaku turns source risk into explicit decisions: cleared for AI, human handoff required, blocked topic, or source fix needed.

Frequently asked

Questions support and compliance teams ask before they buy.

How do I stop my AI support agent from hallucinating?

Hallucinations usually happen when the model can’t find a clear answer in the source material it retrieves from. Meihaku audits your support docs, tickets, macros, and notes for the gaps and conflicts that force the model to guess, then gates which intents your agent is cleared to answer. Many teams pair Meihaku as the pre-flight check with runtime monitoring as the in-flight safety net.

Why is my AI agent hallucinating?

Three common patterns: (1) gaps — the customer asked something not covered in any source, so the model fills in plausible-sounding nonsense; (2) conflicts — one support source says one thing and another says something else, and the model picks the wrong one; (3) stale or out-of-date content. Meihaku surfaces all three before launch so you can fix them rather than ship them.

What helps reduce AI hallucinations in customer support?

A two-layer approach. Pre-flight audits (Meihaku) catch the gaps and conflicts in your sources before the AI agent ever has to retrieve from them. Runtime monitoring tools catch the residual hallucinations that slip through. The fastest single improvement is usually source cleanup — no amount of runtime checking can save you from a knowledge base the model can’t retrieve clearly from.

I haven’t picked an AI support agent yet — is Meihaku still useful?

Yes — and it’s the cleanest case to start with. Meihaku audits your support knowledge before you commit to a vendor. You’ll know in advance which intents are well-supported, which need source cleanup, and which can’t be answered safely by any agent. Most teams find the audit changes which agent they pick, because some handle gap-prone intents better than others.

How is Meihaku different from AI support agents like Intercom Fin or Decagon?

Meihaku is the readiness layer that runs before and alongside AI support agents, not a replacement. Tools like Intercom Fin, Decagon, Sierra, and Maven generate answers at runtime. Meihaku audits whether your knowledge base actually supports those answers in the first place, surfacing conflicts, gaps, and ungrounded intents before they reach a customer. Most teams use Meihaku to pre-flight an AI agent rollout, then keep it running as a governance layer.

How is Meihaku different from runtime monitoring tools?

Runtime monitoring tools score AI responses as they’re produced and can block bad outputs in real time. Meihaku works one layer earlier: it audits the source knowledge your AI agent retrieves from, so the bad answer never gets generated in the first place. The two are complementary — Meihaku as the pre-flight check, runtime tools as the in-flight safety net.

How is Meihaku different from AI agent testing and simulation tools?

We solve the same launch-risk problem from a different layer. Agent QA, simulation, regression, and runtime monitoring tools test how the runtime agent behaves once it is talking to customers. Meihaku prepares the support knowledge before that test: it checks whether the help center, tickets, macros, SOPs, policies, and reviewer decisions support each customer intent before any agent is allowed to answer it. Many teams need both: Meihaku to define the approved answer boundary, then agent QA tools to test how the runtime agent behaves inside that boundary.

Is Meihaku a document audit tool?

Partly, but the audit unit is not a document. It is a customer intent. Meihaku reads support docs, tickets, macros, SOPs, and policies, then checks whether each customer question has one current, cited, customer-safe answer. That makes it different from general document audit, help-center CMS, or public-page AI-readiness scanners: the output is an approved answer boundary for AI support, not just cleaner documentation.

What sources can Meihaku read today?

Meihaku is designed to review the support sources your team already relies on: policies, SOPs, macros, FAQ docs, ticket examples, and internal notes. Source access stays read-only, and Meihaku never writes back to those systems — what you see in the audit is exactly what your team approves.

Does Meihaku use AI to review my support sources?

Yes. AI does the first pass: it maps customer intents to your support sources and flags gaps, conflicts, partial coverage, and ready answers. The result is not a black-box approval. Each status includes evidence for your team to review, and only human-approved answers are exported downstream.

Does Meihaku replace my AI support agent?

No. Meihaku is complementary. Your AI agent (Fin, Decagon, Sierra, custom) still answers customers. Meihaku decides which intents are cleared for that agent to handle, with cited evidence, and exports the approved answer set. Unsupported or conflicting intents stay out of automation until your team has source evidence or a handoff path.

Can my team approve answers before customers see them?

Yes — that’s the core workflow. Meihaku drafts cited answers from your sources, your team reviews each one with the source line attached, and only cleared intents move toward automation. Nothing reaches production until you greenlight it.

How do you detect conflicts between policies and macros?

When the same intent (for example, the refund window for international orders) resolves to different answers across support sources, Meihaku flags it as a conflict and shows both source lines side-by-side. Your team picks the canonical answer, which becomes the approved version exported to your AI agent.

What if my knowledge base is a mess?

That’s the most common starting point — and exactly what Meihaku is designed for. You don’t need to rewrite anything before connecting. Meihaku reads what you have, drafts cited answers from the strongest evidence, flags gaps and conflicts, and lets your team triage them in priority order. The first audit usually surfaces the small set of intents blocking most of the customer-risk conversations.

How long does setup take?

Connecting a read-only source takes minutes when credentials are ready. Meihaku can generate the first intent map quickly, then source scanning time depends on content volume. Most teams should start with one high-risk folder or ticket bundle before expanding the review.

Is my support data used to train AI models?

No. Customer data is processed in your isolated workspace. We don’t train foundation models on your content, and we don’t share data across customers. Source content is processed transiently and not retained beyond what’s needed for citations.
