Tips when asking the Digital Assistant a question

To get the most out of the MicrOpay Digital Assistant, follow these guidelines to ensure you quickly find accurate answers:

  • Clearly state your question: Type your questions clearly and concisely, exactly as you'd ask a human support agent.

  • Keep it short and specific: Short, precise questions help the Digital Assistant quickly identify and deliver the right information.

  • The Digital Assistant doesn't know your employees, dates, or calculations, so don't include these details in your question.

  • Type the exact error messages that you see.

  • Use familiar terminology: Use terms directly related to Access MicrOpay Evo features, which helps the Digital Assistant match your questions accurately. This includes adding New Zealand, ESS, General Ledger, STP, Hosted Payroll Online, etc. to your question.

  • Natural language: Phrase your questions naturally. The Digital Assistant is trained to understand various ways of asking the same question.

  • Common topics: For routine issues like installation, passwords, or specific features, you ask directly about these topics.

  • Follow-Up questions: If the initial response doesn't fully resolve your issue, ask a follow-up question or rephrase your query for further clarification.


What to Avoid When Using the Digital Assistant

  • Avoid one-word or very complex Questions: Single-word replies or overly complex questions are less effectively processed by the Digital Assistant.

  • Incorrect or unclear terminology: Use the correct terms related to Access MicrOpay Evo. Incorrect terminology can hinder the Digital Assistant’s ability to provide accurate answers.

  • Excessively long queries: Limit your queries to fewer than 30 words. Long, continuous text can be too complicated for the Digital Assistant to interpret effectively.

  • Overly technical language: Avoid heavy technical jargon. Stick to straightforward, simple language for the best results.
