Tue, Sep 26

The rapid evolution of technology has made mastering enterprise software a necessity for any business. Whether it's Salesforce, Oracle, or Microsoft, navigating their intricate landscape can be daunting. Enter SideKik, your AI-powered guide, ready to assist you in conquering these software giants. This article will explore the ins and outs of using SideKik, your virtual consultant for enterprise software support needs.

Introduction to SideKik

SideKik is an AI assistant designed to help you tackle the challenges of understanding and optimizing enterprise software like Salesforce, Oracle, and Microsoft. It provides immediate, contextualized responses to your questions, drastically reducing your wait time. With SideKik, you can bypass the often frustrating process of trawling through forums for answers or waiting for callbacks on new features.

SideKik is More Than Just a Chatbot

SideKik is similar to ChatGPT. However, several key differences set SideKik apart:

Updated Information: Unlike ChatGPT, which was last trained on data up to January 2022 and has a web browsing feature susceptible to SEO biases, SideKik is continuously updated with the most recent product releases and their associated documentation.

Citing Sources: SideKik cites its sources from the relevant official documentation, allowing you to verify the information yourself.

Specificity: SideKik is designed specifically to answer questions about enterprise systems, while ChatGPT was designed to address a broad set of questions.

Privacy: Within the Azure OpenAI Service, your prompts, completions, and data remain private and aren't used to enhance other products. Hosted on Microsoft's Azure, this service operates independently from OpenAI entities like ChatGPT.

How to Use SideKik Effectively

Now that we have a fundamental understanding of SideKik, let's delve into how to use it effectively. Keep in mind these are high-level tips intended to help you get started instead of a holistic overview.

1. Choose Your Connector:

Before diving into your queries, it's essential to connect SideKik with the right knowledge base using connectors. Although these connectors don't interface directly with your systems, they act as a bridge between your SideKik Account and the respective platform's knowledge database.

Example: If you have questions about Salesforce Sales Cloud, select the Salesforce Connector. This lets you focus only on Salesforce Sales Cloud insights, without being overwhelmed by the entirety of the Salesforce ecosystem.

Begin by guiding SideKik into a specific role for an expertise-driven experience. This not only provides context but also ensures that the conversation is tailored to your specific needs.

  • Microsoft Dynamics & Power Platform: "You are a Dynamics 365 consultant with expertise in Power Platform."
