Relevant information retrieves from Apple’s internal knowledge base

‘Ask’ automatically retrieves relevant information from Apple’s internal knowledge base to answer questions, and customer service representatives can rate the answers as ‘helpful’ or ‘not helpful’ to help Apple further improve its functionality.

Advisors can ask up to five follow-up questions on each topic. Apple plans to provide this tool to more customer service representatives in the future after collecting feedback.

As an example: ‘The customer cannot update their device to iOS 13.7. What should they do?’ The tool will automatically provide a comprehensive answer based on the content in Apple’s support documents.
