Validate knowledge articles by using the Knowledge Curator agent

Validate knowledge articles in BMC Helix Business Workflows knowledge management by using the Knowledge Curator agent. Case agents can use the Knowledge Curator agent to check articles for grammar, ensure template compliance, and remove personally identifiable information (PII). The Knowledge Curator agent also identifies similar articles before creating new ones, reducing redundancy and improving the knowledge base. As a result, case agents can provide information to support case resolution.

For more information, see Automatically validating knowledge articles

Get catalog predictions in email responses

As an end user, get relevant catalog predictions and corresponding catalog links in automated email replies. You can directly access the service-related questionnaire through the catalog link and submit the service request without additional navigation, improving the efficiency of case handling.
