Built for Australian local businesses
An AI knowledge base is a store of information that an AI system searches to answer questions accurately, such as product details, policies and FAQs, instead of relying on general knowledge or guesswork.
Its main parts are:
In RingOut, the knowledge base holds your services, prices, hours and service area so Miya can answer callers. It is only as current as what you put in it, and questions it can't answer are flagged for you.
Most calls to a small business ask for the same handful of facts. Answering them by hand eats hours every week.

Miya answers holiday hours from the knowledge base every time.
A dog groomer in Wollongong stops mid-wash to tell another caller what a large-breed groom costs.
Your price list answers the call while the dog stays in the tub.
A pool service in Ipswich books a site visit, then learns the address is well outside the suburbs it covers.
Miya checks your service area before a visit is offered.
AI receptionist training works in four steps: you give RingOut your business details, Miya turns them into answers, she uses them on every call, and you correct anything that comes out wrong. There is no script to write and no code to touch.
What you sell, what it costs, when you're open and the questions callers usually ask, gathered during setup.
Your details become plain answers she can give naturally on the phone.
When a caller asks, Miya replies from your facts and asks follow-up questions where needed.
Change a price or add an answer, and the next caller hears the updated version.
Here Miya relies on what the driving school has told her: the cars it offers and the times instructors work. Press play to hear those details used on a real call.

The main benefits of an AI knowledge base are consistent answers on every call, fewer interruptions, prices you control, better-qualified bookings, quick updates and honest hand-offs when a question falls outside what Miya knows.
Prices and policies stay consistent, whoever rings and whenever they ring.
The questions you answer ten times a day are handled without you picking up.
Miya quotes only what's in your list, so nobody is promised a figure you never set.
Your standard questions are asked first, so each job arrives with the details you need.
Change your holiday hours or a price and the next caller hears it.
Questions she has no answer for come to you instead of getting a made-up answer.
Good to know: Miya's answers are only as current as your knowledge base. If a price changes and nobody updates it, callers will hear the old one, so it pays to review the answers each season.
Every RingOut plan includes the knowledge base, and updating it costs nothing.
General knowledge base software is built for help centres and staff wikis. RingOut's version exists for one job: letting an AI receptionist answer your phone accurately.
Answers are written to be spoken aloud, in short and natural sentences.
You provide the facts, and Miya works out how to use them in conversation.
If something isn't in your knowledge base, Miya says so and flags the call.
Suburb names, regional service areas and Australian public holidays are covered during setup.
Growth and Professional plans include a guided setup call, and Business adds dedicated onboarding.
The knowledge base costs nothing extra, on plans from $40.83 a month billed annually, AUD ex GST.
Businesses usually handle repeat questions with an FAQ page, knowledge base software for a help centre, or by answering every call themselves. The table puts them side by side.

It gives an AI the facts it needs to answer questions correctly instead of guessing. In RingOut, it holds everything Miya needs to answer your callers: what you offer and charge, when you open, where you work, your policies and what to ask before a job is booked.
The knowledge base for AI is the store of information it draws on instead of guessing. For an AI receptionist, that means the business details a trained receptionist would know by heart. The better it is, the more calls the AI can finish without passing them on to you.
Start with prices, hours, service area and the ten questions callers ask most. Then add the qualifying questions you always need answered before a booking or quote. Over the first week, read your needs-you calls and fill in whatever Miya could not handle.
She tells the caller she'll pass the question on and marks the call needs you, with their question noted beside the caller's details. She doesn't make up an answer. Adding the right answer to your knowledge base means she can handle that question herself next time.
From the next call. Update a price or your holiday hours and callers hear the new version straight away. There is nothing to publish, retrain or re-record, which makes it easy to keep Miya accurate through price rises, public holidays and seasonal changes in your services.
The best AI knowledge base is the one built for the people who will use it. Help centre tools suit written support articles, while a business taking phone calls needs one built for spoken answers, like the one inside RingOut. The best choice is the one your callers reach and that you can update in minutes.
Yes. Common examples include help centre software that powers support chatbots, internal wikis that answer staff questions, and AI receptionist knowledge bases like RingOut's that answer phone callers. Each stores the same kind of facts, but presents them to a different audience in a different way.
By giving it your business details and correcting anything it gets wrong. With RingOut there is no script to write: setup gathers your details, and you edit answers whenever something changes. Each correction is live for the very next caller, so the receptionist improves as you use it.
Yes, if they're in your knowledge base. She quotes the prices you've given her, word for word, and passes on anything that needs a custom quote. You can list fixed prices, starting-from prices or price ranges, and tell her which jobs always need an inspection first.
Yes. It comes with all four plans, and updating it costs nothing. Starter costs $49 month to month, or $40.83 monthly when paid yearly, AUD ex GST. There is no limit on how often you change your answers or how many services you add.
You start during setup, when we ask for your services, prices, hours, service areas and the questions you always ask before a booking. That first version is enough for Miya to take calls the same day. After that, add to it whenever a caller asks something new, straight from your dashboard.
Give RingOut the facts about your business once, and Miya uses them on every call. Start a trial and hear her handle your most common questions.
