Help Center â Customer Support on Customer's Terms
One help center (or âHelp Centerâ) is a digital platform that brings together knowledge and solutions in one place, so that users can find answers to their questions themselves. It is a form of self-service, where visitors search for information instead of contacting customer service.
Common Content in a Help Center:
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Guides and how-to articles
- Troubleshooting Steps
- Video Walkthroughs
- Clear categories and search function
The aim is to reduce pressure on customer service, provide faster responses and improve the customer experience.
Help Center and AI â a natural combination
As AI becomes more prevalent in customer support, help centers have taken on a new role. Instead of the user looking for the right article himself, a AI agent guide them directly to the right answer â via chat or phone.
An AI-supported help center can:
- Interpreting what the user is asking
- Searching the Knowledge Base
- Give relevant answers directly in the conversation
- Follow up if the issue is resolved
- Pass on to human agent if necessary
This means that help is not only available 24 hours a day â it is also more accurate.

Help Center Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Help Center and an FAQ page?
A FAQ is often a short list of frequently asked questions. A help center includes more comprehensive materials, search features, and guides.
Is a help center the same as a knowledge base?
They hang together! The help center is the interface, while the knowledge base is the content behind it â the articles, guides, and answers.
Do I need a help center if I have AI in customer service?
Not necessarily. With AI agents that can understand and respond instantly, you can often skip the traditional help center entirely.
Does AI work as a help center over the phone as well?
Yep. An AI agent in the telephone exchange can provide answers, ask follow-up questions and even guide the user through solutions â without them having to click anywhere.
