Beyond the AMA: How Joyabuy Builds a Spreadsheet Knowledge Base from Reddit Insights
Following our successful Joyabuy
The first step was to move beyond a simple transcript. We constructed a detailed spreadsheet matrix. Each row represented a unique question-answer pair, while columns captured rich metadata: This transformation turned disorganized text into structured, analysable data, creating what we call the "definitive answer" repository. A static database is only useful if you can find information instantly. We implemented a Natural Language Processing (NLP) module to sit atop our knowledge base. This module does not just scan for keywords. It understands user intent"Yeezy size selection", the NLP engine: This proactive delivery of information drastically reduces customer uncertainty and support ticket volume. This strategy ensures the value of our Reddit AMA is not a one-time event but a living resource. The knowledge base is continuously updated with new Q&A from ongoing community interactions. This creates a virtuous cycle: By building a bridge between informal Reddit discussions and a formalized, intelligent knowledge system, we foster transparency and empower our users with immediate access to the collective wisdom of the community and expert insights. The primary goal was to engage directly with the community in a transparent forum, answering questions about products, processes, and the industry. A secondary, crucial goal was to gather these authentic questions and expert answers to build a lasting knowledge resource. It uses an NLP model to convert both the user's current query and the historical questions in the database into numerical vectors (embeddings). It then calculates the cosine similarity between these vectors to find the most semantically similar historical questions and retrieve their matched answers, regardless of the exact keywords used. The raw spreadsheet is an internal system for data structuring. However, its entire content is made accessible to users through the intelligent search function on our website and customer service portals, ensuring they get the best answer in the most user-friendly way.The Foundation: Constructing the Structured Q&A Matrix from Reddit AMA
