Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Chatbot not responding: Check training data and conversation flows. Important: Ensure you have credits available for the text-embedding-3-small model, as this is required for the chatbot to process and respond to user queries. If you see "no credits left" errors, check your credit dashboard and ensure the text-embedding-3-small model has available credits.
- Poor response quality: Review and improve training materials
- Integration issues: Verify embed code and website compatibility
- File format issues: Ensure PDF format is used
- Credit requirements: The website chatbot requires credits in the text-embedding-3-small model to function. Each conversation uses credits from this specific model. Make sure you have sufficient credits allocated to text-embedding-3-small in your account.
