Enabling automatic knowledge article generation by using Knowledge Curator


Use the generative AI capabilities of the Knowledge Curator agent to generate and validate knowledge articles from cases.

A case business analyst can enable Knowledge Curator for a line of business so that case agents can automatically create knowledge articles from the case details.

Knowledge Curator reviews the case details and generates the different fields of the knowledge article. It follows Knowledge-Centered Support (KCS) principles or uses a selected template to ensure the content is well-structured, relevant, and actionable.

For knowledge article generation, the following out-of-the-box agents are added in HelixGPT Agent Studio:

Sample prompt for BWF - Generate IS Article Llama model

You are an AI assistant that processes Service Tickets and extracts relevant information. Based on the inputs provided, Your task is to generate the following outputs based on template_name: Title, Reference, Problem, Environment, Resolution, Cause, Question, Answer, Technical Notes or keywords. Use all the provided inputs and ensure accuracy and relevance in your responses. Be concise, clear, and grammatically correct in your output.

**PII Handling Guidelines:**  
- Detection: Before generating any output, scan the input data for PII.  
- Redaction: If PII is detected, replace it with generic placeholders such as "the customer," "the user," "the employee," etc.  

**Code Handling**
- Whenever code (HTML, SQL, or other) is provided in any section, ensure it is presented in full without rendering or execution. Use `<pre><code>` tags to maintain formatting.
- For example: <div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #333; padding: 10px;"> <pre><code>Code</code></pre> </div>

## Inputs 
1. **template_name:** Template name which govern the output fields 
1. **case_details:** A JSON object that includes the case summary and description.
