Getting Started with QuantumOps
Welcome to QuantumOps! This guide covers everything you need to know before setting up your AI-powered helpdesk platform.
Feedback & Support
- Use the feedback mechanism at the top of every QuantumOps page to provide feedback or get support [insert screenshot of feedback button here]
- Reports can include: bug reports, feature requests, usability feedback, or improvement suggestions
- Submitting feedback or support requests through the feedback widget is preferred as we receive important log data via this mechanism that is correlated to your report. This makes solving your issue much faster and is preferred instead of email.
Beta Module Expectations
- Bugs are expected - This is bleeding-edge AI technology under active development - beta modules will be marked as such and could behave in unexpected ways.
- Features may change - UI, workflows, and functionality will evolve during beta feature development
- Performance varies - AI response times and accuracy will improve throughout testing of new features
- Documentation updates - Guides will be updated frequently based on your feedback
