Who is Ellie?

Ellie Bot is your 24/7 AI support agent in Dentally. When you start a new support chat, Ellie is the first agent you will speak to. They can answer questions and provide accurate steps to achieve tasks in Dentally. Ellie uses our Help Centre, among other sources, to provide you with accurate and up-to-date information.

When using AI to ask questions, there are a few key things to remember in order to get the answers you need.

💡 Top tip: You can always ask to speak with a human if you need, and you will be passed through quickly to our support team 🎉


1. Be specific

  • Provide as much detail as possible in your question.

    • Instead of: "How do I create a template?"
      Ask: "How do I create a new treatment plan template?"

  • Specificity ensures Ellie Bot can give you precise answers on the first try.

  • Avoid one- or two-word questions as this is likely not enough information for Ellie to provide a useful answer.


2. Specify your region

  • If you are not receiving an answer relevant to your region you should include your region for tailored responses.

    • Instead of: "How do I refund?"
      Ask: "How do I refund in the UK?"


3. Ask for clarification

  • If the response isn’t clear or complete, request further explanation.
    Examples:

    • "Can you shorten that answer?"

    • "Can you explain further?"


4. Connect to an Agent if Needed

  • For questions beyond Ellie Bot’s capabilities, click the “Connect to an Agent” button after Ellie Bot responds. A human team member will assist you.


5. Be patient

  • Complex queries may take a moment to process. If the initial response isn’t perfect, ask follow-up questions or connect with an agent for further support.


6. Use natural language:

  • Write as if speaking to a person for the best results!

By following these tips, you’ll ensure smooth and efficient communication with Ellie Bot, saving time and getting the help you need faster!
