Review is where your team decides what Kai may say. Publishing is where that decision reaches customers. This page walks through both. You need the permission to review, and the permission to publish. An Agent can read the Brain but cannot change it.

Work the review queue

1

Open the queue

Go to Brain. The band above the six categories states how many items wait for a decision.
The review band with the Open the queue button

The review band above the categories.

Select Open the queue. The queue holds every undecided item from all five reviewable categories, in one list. Publish blockers come first. After them, the most frequent situations come first.
2

Understand the filters

Above the list there is a row of filters:
  • Everything. All undecided items, in the order described above. This is the default and the right one most of the time.
  • One category. Answer Library, Conversation Flows, Human Handoff, Communication Rules, Brand Voice. Each filter shows its own count. Use one when a person on your team owns one category.
  • Blocks publishing. Only the items that stop you from publishing this version. Use it when you want to go live today.
When you filter to one category and more than one item is left, an Approve button appears with a count. It approves the visible items of that category only. There is no button that approves the whole Brain in one click.

Two queue rows. The badge marks an item that blocks publishing.

Read one item

Select a row. The right side shows the whole item and the real conversations it came from.
The review queue with the list and the editor

The review queue: the list on the left, the item on the right.

Read the examples under Examples from past conversations before you decide. They are the messages your own team sent. If the proposed answer does not match them, the answer is wrong, not the examples.
4

Read the count next to the item

Each row ends with a number, for example ×118. It is the number of past conversations that produced this item. For an answer, it is how many separate customers asked that question.Treat a high count as a warning to slow down, not as a reason to trust the item. A high count means two things at once: the item is well attested, and it will be used often. An error in an item with ×118 behind it reaches many customers. An error in an item with ×2 behind it reaches almost nobody.
5

Decide

You have three decisions.
  • Approve. The text is correct as written. Select Approve.
  • Edit. Change the text in the form, then select Save and approve. The item becomes Edited, and your words are what Kai uses.
  • Reject. Kai must not use this at all. Select Reject. Kai stops retrieving the item. It never reaches a reply again.
The decided item leaves the queue and Kai opens the next one. To move without deciding, use j and k. To decide from the keyboard, use a to approve and r to reject.
Edit rather than reject when the topic is right and the wording is wrong. Reject only when Kai must never answer that topic.

Publish

Publishing points every connected channel at this version, and freezes it.

What blocks publishing

Kai blocks a publish only for content that could reach a customer without a human reading it first:
  • the Brand Voice, which must exist and must be reviewed;
  • every Human Handoff rule, without exception;
  • every Conversation Flow that is eligible for autopilot;
  • every Answer Library entry that answers an intent one of those flows covers.
Everything else can stay unreviewed. That is on purpose. An unreviewed answer in a published Brain still writes drafts in copilot, where a human reads every word before the customer does. If unreviewed content blocked a publish, no team would ever get to review its long tail against real traffic.
The rule that protects you is applied per reply, not per Brain. On autopilot with the scope Anything a reviewer approved, Kai sends a reply on its own only when the answers it used and the flow it followed are approved or edited. A reply built from unreviewed content becomes a draft.

Publish the version

1

Clear the blockers

In the queue, select the Blocks publishing filter. Decide every item in it. The count in the header goes to zero.
2

Select Publish

Go back to Brain and select Publish in the header.
3

Read the confirmation

Kai states the consequence before it happens: every channel answers from this version immediately, and the version stops being editable.If unreviewed entries are still in the version, Kai names how many. They ship with the version, and they can only draft for a human.
4

Confirm

The previous published version becomes Archived. It stays readable.

What publishing freezes

After a publish, the version is read-only. You cannot approve, edit or reject anything inside it. Facts are the exception: current information is not part of a version, so a price change still takes effect on the next reply. Read Current information.

Edit as a new draft

To change a published version, open it and select Edit as a new draft. Kai:
  • creates a copy, named v1.1, v1.2, and so on;
  • carries every approval, edit and rejection across to the copy;
  • leaves the published version untouched and serving customers.
Work in the copy, then publish it. If you select Edit as a new draft twice, Kai opens the draft that already exists. It does not create a second one.

Split the work across a team

The queue is one list, but the filters make it several.
  • Give each category an owner. Human Handoff and Brand Voice decide when a machine talks to a customer unsupervised, so give them to the person who answers for that. Answer Library is the long tail, and it is the part that can be shared widely.
  • Clear the blockers first, together. Use the Blocks publishing filter in one sitting. It is a short list, and it is the only list that stops you from going live.
  • Two people can work at the same time. Each decision is written on its own. A reviewer never overwrites another reviewer’s decision.
  • Leave the tail for later. Go live in copilot with the tail unreviewed. Your team then reviews real drafts in the inbox instead of guessing which answers matter.
