When to use Wavo vs Help Center
Last updated: May 19, 2026
When to use Wavo vs Help Center
Wavo is account-aware (sees your data + can take actions). Help Center (Pylon help.wevion.ai) is static documentation (feature reference, best practices). Use Wavo for "what's my X?"; use Help Center for "how does X work?". Wavo can also call create_support_ticket to open a Pylon ticket when human help is needed.
Who is this for
Anyone deciding "should I ask Wavo or look this up in the docs?"
The split
Use Wavo for | Use Help Center for |
|---|---|
Your account data + metrics | Generic platform reference |
"What's my ROAS for X?" | "What is ROAS?" |
Taking actions (with approval) | Reading-only walkthroughs |
Iterative conversation | One-and-done lookups |
Analysis + diagnosis | Concept explanations |
Personalized recommendations | Universal best practices |
When Wavo is the right tool
Account-specific questions
"What's my best-performing creative this week?"
"Which audience converts at the lowest CPA?"
"Why did my CTR drop on Reels?"
"What's the difference between Campaign A and B in spend pacing?"
Wavo invokes tools, queries your data, answers with your numbers.
Taking actions
"Pause every losing adset in account X."
"Create a rule that scales winners."
"Draft a new campaign for product Y."
"Generate 3 image variants for this concept."
Wavo plans + presents approval card (for HIGH/MEDIUM risk) or executes (for LOW risk write tools). See ai-105.
Iterative refinement
Start broad → narrow down → act
Multi-turn conversation where each turn refines the previous
Wavo holds last 20 messages of context
Help Center articles can't do this.
Decision support
"Should I scale Campaign Z?" — Wavo analyzes + recommends
"Is my budget pacing on target?" — Wavo computes + flags
"Compare to last month — what changed?" — Wavo runs the comparison
Personalized analysis Help Center can't provide (it has no account context).
When Help Center is the right tool
Concept explanations
"What is ROAS?" — definition + formula
"What is postback attribution?" — explanation
"How does the Rules Engine evaluate conditions?" — feature mechanics
These are universal facts. Wavo can answer them too (trained knowledge) but Help Center is canonical.
Feature reference
Endpoint specs
Schema fields
Configuration options
Hard limits + constraints
Migration guides
Static, comprehensive, searchable. Wavo summarizes; Help Center is authoritative.
Walkthroughs
"How do I set up Google Drive integration?"
"How do I connect Meta?"
"How do I configure a campaign template?"
Static step-by-step guides using location-based language (Pylon style — no visual captures). Better suited for sequential learning than chat.
Best practices
"Best practices for ROAS targets by industry"
"How to structure your account hierarchy"
"When to use prospecting vs retargeting"
Universal advice. Help Center has authored, vetted content.
Wavo + Help Center workflow
A common pattern:
Help Center: learn the concept ("What is Cross-Channel analytics?")
Wavo: apply to your data ("Show my Cross-Channel KPI strip for last 7 days")
Or:
Wavo: get personalized recommendation ("Recommend budget allocation")
Help Center: deep dive on the recommended approach ("How does Budget Recommendation work?")
Wavo can open support tickets
When you need human help:
"I think Wavo got this wrong — open a ticket"
"I need an admin to look at this"
"Escalate this question to support"
Wavo invokes create_support_ticket (LOW write mode):
Creates a ticket in Pylon
Attaches conversation context
You + support team can follow up
No approval needed (LOW risk). Wavo confirms ticket ID after creation.

Anti-patterns
❌ Asking Wavo to explain feature mechanics
"How does the Rules Engine work?" — Wavo can answer, but Help Center has the full reference. Faster for the canonical answer.
❌ Going to Help Center for account data
"What's my ROAS?" can't be answered in static docs. Ask Wavo.
❌ Treating Wavo as bug-tracker
If Wavo (or Wevion) malfunctions: use Help Center → Contact Support, OR ask Wavo to "open a ticket". Don't only post in chat hoping someone notices.
❌ Asking Wavo for company-internal info
"What's the Wevion roadmap?" — Wavo doesn't know company internals beyond product feature knowledge. Check public roadmap / contact CS.
Decision flowchart
Question contains "my" / "this account" / specific entity name?
→ Wavo
Question is "how does X work" / generic feature?
→ Help Center
Need to take an action?
→ Wavo (approval card handles safety)
Need a documented step-by-step setup walkthrough?
→ Help Center
Stuck and need human help?
→ Wavo: "open a support ticket"
→ OR Help Center → Contact Support
Common mistakes
Asking Wavo where to find a Help Center article — Wavo can search but for fast canonical lookups, Pylon search is direct
Reading 5 Help Center articles instead of asking Wavo to summarize for your case — Wavo can synthesize across your data + best practices
Pasting Help Center content into chat — Wavo doesn't need it; it has the platform knowledge embedded
