noco Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Ken Horibe) has launched the "Notification Bar Function" for its AI customer support system "Help Dog" (https://helpdog.ai), which allows banner-style announcements to be displayed at the very top of FAQ sites. This function can be displayed on the top page, category list page, or article content page, ensuring that users see announcements about campaigns, changes in business hours, or other information regardless of which page they are viewing. ■ Background: Lack of effective means to deliver timely announcements prominently When operating an FAQ site, there are often times when information needs to be communicated to users only for a specific period, such as sales, campaigns, changes in business hours, or revisions to prices or terms. However, the methods for delivering such information prominently were limited. Previously, companies had to rely on posting individual articles or modifying parts of the top page each time. As a result, urgent information often failed to catch users' eyes and led to inquiries going unanswered. ■ What the "Notification Bar Function" can do The "Notification Bar Function" is a feature that displays a banner-style announcement area at the top of the FAQ site. Its main features are as follows: Display on any page within the site The notification bar can be displayed on the top page, category list page, or article content page. Since the banner is visible regardless of which page the user is browsing, important announcements can be delivered without being missed.

The link destination is not limited to FAQ articles; it can be freely set to campaign-specific pages, application forms, etc., allowing users to be directed to the appropriate page based on the announcement content.
