Find the questions your FAQ doesn't answer

Once a week, collect the questions customers asked and list the ones your FAQ doesn't cover yet.

TimeSetup about 45 minutes. Running it is just reading one doc a week.

The n8n file has three nodes (trigger, AI step, output) plus a read-me note. We check that its JSON structure is valid, but we haven't run every file in a live n8n instance, so test it with sample data before you switch it on.

Steps

  1. Weekly schedule: export the subjects and first messages.
  2. AI step compares them with the FAQ.
  3. Write a list of uncovered questions, with how often each came up, to a doc.

The prompt

Here are customer questions from this week and our FAQ. List questions NOT answered by the FAQ, grouped by theme, with a count per theme. Don't list questions the FAQ already answers. Questions: {{qs}} FAQ: {{faq}}

Where it breaks

  • Counts are approximate. Models count loosely. Treat the numbers as rough rankings.
  • Anything customer-facing or money-related. Keep a human approval step until you've watched a few dozen runs and trust it.

Tool names and pricing change often, so check each tool's current docs before you build. Times on this page are estimates, not measurements.
