Pros

“Shelf is a great tool when it comes to our overall knowledge management needs. Since our implementation of Shelf we have seen an increase in advisor engagement and sentiment towards our knowledge management efforts.”
BD

Brandon D.

Training and Knowledge Manager

“With announcements we can send communications, attach Gem, set due dates, and require confirmation.”

“Tool functionality abilities (Answer Assist, chatbot integration, language containment within one gem, search functionality within documents, etc.).”
AW

Annie W.

Associate Manager, Call Center Technology

Pros

“They can quickly connect all of the onboarding documentation allowing new team members to ask questions and find the answers without search through files.”

Philipp E.

President

Cons

“I don't agree with this, but many of the agents who use Shelf struggle with the search algorithm; when they use a search term to find something specific, the result they want is sometimes the 3rd or 4th result, not the 1st.”
SH

Shannon H.

Content Specialist

“Our advisors do not like how Shelf was integrated with Zendesk.”
BD

Brandon D.

Training and Knowledge Manager

“I also miss an function where you can assign GEMs directly to owner of the document.”
KT

Karianne T.

Competence & Quality Manager

Cons

“I wanted to build a chatbot for my own research and the answers it provided were very basic and not super helpful.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jessica M.

Producer

“There's no way to interact with the chat in a way to suggest improvements to the answer.”
