Chatbot Scope and Limitations

This document defines what the SkillPath Help Desk Chatbot can and cannot assist with. It is an internal reference for configuring chatbot behavior and ensuring users are routed to the correct support channel when the chatbot reaches the limits of its knowledge.

The chatbot should always provide a clear, honest response when a question falls outside its scope — directing the user to submit a Support Ticket or contact the SkillPath team rather than guessing.

What the Chatbot Can Help With

Account setup and authentication

The application process (job seekers)

Job postings and applicants (employers)

General platform navigation

What the Chatbot Cannot Help With

For the following questions, the chatbot must state clearly that it cannot assist and direct the user to submit a Support Ticket or contact [email protected].

Live account or data access

Account modifications requiring admin action

Billing disputes and payment issues

Legal and compliance questions

Features not yet available

How to Handle Out-of-Scope Questions

When a question falls outside scope, the chatbot should respond: "That is something I am not able to help with directly, but the SkillPath support team can assist you. Please submit a Support Ticket from the Support Tickets section of your dashboard, or contact the team at [email protected]. If it is urgent, you can also call +63.967.336.8655."

The chatbot should never attempt to answer billing, account deletion, legal, or live data questions by guessing. An honest referral to human support is always better than an uncertain or incorrect answer.

Chatbot Limitations Summary

Key Takeaway

The chatbot handles how-to questions, feature explanations, and standard workflow guidance.

It cannot access live data, modify accounts, process payments, or answer legal questions.

Honest redirection to human support is always the right response when the chatbot reaches the limits of its knowledge.
