Project Background

BSA Chatbot is an AI support and knowledge platform for BSA motorcycle dealers and riders. It answers technical questions from official motorcycle manuals, diagnostic documents, parts catalogues and curated answers.

The platform combines a chat widget that dealers embed on their websites, a standalone knowledge base, an admin portal and a document ingestion pipeline. Its retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) setup grounds each answer in the indexed documentation and shows source references where available. Questions the system cannot answer with confidence go to the support team for a human reply.

Business Needs

BSA Chatbot: AI Motorcycle Support Platform

Dealers and support teams needed fast, model-specific answers that were spread across manuals, diagnostic procedures and parts catalogues. The platform had to:

  • Answer technical questions from official BSA documentation
  • Recognise motorcycle models and variants to keep answers relevant
  • Show source references with each answer where available
  • Keep conversation history for follow-up questions
  • Hand unresolved questions to human support staff
  • Let admins manage documents, curated answers, the vehicle registry and unanswered questions
  • Process new manuals, diagrams and parts catalogues through a repeatable pipeline

Project Challenges

  • Complex technical documents: Manuals and parts catalogues mix text, tables, diagrams and images that need extraction, cleanup and indexing before they can be searched.
  • Model and variant recognition: The same question can need different answers for the Gold Star, Bantam and Scrambler, so retrieval has to follow model references, follow-ups and corrections without mixing documents.
  • Reliable AI answers: General language models can invent technical details. Document-grounded retrieval, relevance filtering, reranking and confidence checks keep answers tied to the source.
  • Human escalation: Some questions lack supporting documentation. The platform keeps the conversation context and gives the support team a clear handoff and resolution flow.
  • Knowledge base upkeep: New manuals and catalogue updates need repeatable processing, image matching, embedding generation and publishing.
  • Operational monitoring: Several backend services and ingestion stages need job tracking, error visibility, retries and cancellation.
