1. What Are Refinement Rules?
Specific instructions that modify AI behavior without changing core configuration:
"Always mention we offer free parking"
"Don't book appointments on Sundays"
"When customer asks about price, also mention we accept insurance"
"End every call with 'Have a blessed day'"
How Rules Work: You write a rule in plain English → UIRIX reviews it (merges duplicates, flags conflicts) → AI follows it in that channel's conversations → Takes effect in 60 seconds

Frequently Asked Questions
How many refinement rules should I have?
Optimal: 5-10 rules. Too few (0-2) misses optimization opportunities. Too many (20+) overwhelms AI and may cause conflicts.
Do rules work across all channels?
Each channel has its own rule list: Phone Calls, Website Chat, and Voice Chat. Add a rule to every channel where you want it to apply.
