Audiences let you segment users so you can deliver different guidance, knowledge, and tool access to different groups. You define an audience once, then attach it to guidance rules or data providers. Conversations that don’t match any audience filter receive guidance set to “Everyone.”

Creating Audiences

  1. Navigate to Settings → Audiences
  2. Click Create audience
  3. Name it descriptively (for example, “Enterprise EU Customers”)
  4. Build segmentation rules using the query builder
  5. Save
