Note that Sidekick can currently only base its answers on item content. It doesn't take into account the metadata, such as fields, and can't process time-specific requests.

• Use sections with descriptive headings to structure your content.

• Give every item a meaningful title that represents its content.

• Keep your content up-to-date and archive or delete outdated and irrelevant items.
