Frequently Asked Questions
What can Capacity do for my company?
Capacity uses AI to streamline support via self-service, agent assist, or campaigns and workflows.
We work with 1900+ customers to automate customer and team support across Web, Email, SMS, Voice, Social Media, Slack/MS Teams, Helpdesks, and more.
What kind of AI powers Capacity?
Capacity uses several AI algorithms including our proprietary LLM, which leverages natural language processing and understanding (NLP and NLU) as well as machine learning and generative AI. We also use automation technology like robotic process automation (RPA) to automate repetitive tasks and processes.
How are companies using Capacity?
No matter the industry, no matter the use case, we’re here for one reason and one reason only: to help people do their best work. Read more in our case studies to learn how we can help.
Why shouldn’t we just build our own chatbot?
Capacity is much more than a chatbot.
Rather, Capacity is a secure, AI-powered support automation platform. Whether you want to support customers and teams via self-service, empower team members with agent assist, or eliminate repetitive processes with campaigns and workflows, Capacity is here to help.
Our holistic approach to support applies AI and automation to every aspect of your work.
How does Capacity understand users?
Natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) are forms of artificial intelligence that analyze and understand human language.
Capacity’s NLP uses 40+ industry-standard and proprietary algorithms. These algorithms can match phrases and understand spelling errors to formulate the best response.
Advancements in NLU technology allow it to understand the entire context behind phrases and documents. Unlike NLP, NLU recognizes the intent behind language, and can answer questions in a more sophisticated way.
While we focus more heavily on developing our NLU capabilities, some parts of our NLP technology enhance the success of our new NLU-based approach.
Plus, each time Capacity receives positive or negative user feedback, our machine learning and neural networks leverage that data to continuously improve the model.
What if Capacity doesn’t know the answer to something? How does Capacity learn?
When Capacity doesn’t know the answer to a question, it intelligently requests backup from a human-in-the-loop—an expert on your team with access to the CoPilot Console. CoPilot allows you to deliver the right answer, all while teaching your knowledge base, so your AI will be ready for that question next time.
Can Capacity route to live chat?

How long does it take to implement Capacity?
Every use case is unique. For a simple external-facing bot, it could take a couple days—but for some more advanced implementations, it could take around a month for Capacity to be up and running.
Here’s how implementation generally works:
- First, we’ll import your crucial files into our vector database, which will extract question-and-answer exchanges to begin populating your Knowledge Base. (It’s so easy that a simple bot can be rolled out in days!)
- Then, we’ll utilize your company’s API keys to connect to your org’s mission-critical apps, like Salesforce, Office 365, Gmail, etc.
- Next, we’ll initiate a soft rollout to key stakeholders for beta testing and machine learning reinforcement.
- Finally, the Capacity Customer Success team will work with you to launch a full rollout, paired with training sessions to ensure maximum success and org-wide adoption.
Do you work with resellers and partners?
