Getting Started
This section is your one-stop guide to creating and launching your first AI Bot Kit chatbot. Follow these steps, and you'll have a working chatbot on your website in less than 15 minutes.
Step 1: Go to AI Bot Kit
Visit aibotkit.io and click Start for Free.
Step 2: Create an Account and Answer the Setup Questions
Sign up with your email and password.
Answer a few quick questions, pick what your agent should mainly do, and enter your website address.
We scan your site and build your first agent — usually in about three minutes.
Step 3: Set Your Agent's Persona
Open your agent and go to Behavior → Instructions (this is where you land by default).
Check the Identity — who your agent is and what it's trying to achieve.
Set the Tone and reply length, and confirm the Language & time zone.
Step 4: Add Rules and Playbooks
Under Behavior → Instructions, add Agent rules — the lines your agent must never cross.
Under Behavior → Playbooks, add step-by-step procedures for the conversations you handle often, like bookings or quotes.
Step 5: Train Your Bot
Go to Knowledge in the left sidebar.
Add knowledge from documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD — up to 20MB each), website URLs, pasted text, or Q&A pairs.
Your bot learns instantly and can answer based on this content.
Step 6: Customize Interface
Go to Appearance → Interface.
Set your Agent Name (what visitors see at the top of the chat).
Edit the Greeting Message (first thing users see).
Set a Fallback Message (for when the bot doesn't understand).
Add Quick Messages for common questions.
Step 7: Style Your Chatbot
Go to Appearance → Styles.
Choose widget position (bottom-right or bottom-left).
Pick colors, button style, and bot avatar to match your brand.

Step 8: Save and Preview
Save appears in the title bar as soon as you change something — click it to store your changes. If no Save button is showing, you have nothing unsaved.
Click Test agent in the top right to try your bot before visitors do.
Step 9: Turn It On and Get Your Embed Code
Go to Deploy in the left sidebar.
Switch Chatbot Status on so your agent responds to real visitors.
Copy the embed code from the Chat Widget method.

Step 10: Add to Your Website
Paste the embed code into your website:
Squarespace → Embed Block or Code Injection
WordPress → Custom HTML block or AI Bot Kit Plugin
Other platforms → Paste into header/footer or custom code sections
Step 11: Verify Installation
Publish your site.
Open it in an incognito window and check if the chatbot loads.
Step 12: Monitor Analytics
Go to My agents → Analytics in the left sidebar.
Track conversations, messages, characters, and daily active users.
To read individual chats, open an agent and click Conversations.

Step 13: Retrain as Needed
Add new documents, URLs, or FAQs anytime from the Knowledge section.
Your bot updates as soon as the new content finishes processing.
Step 14: Upgrade (Optional)
New accounts start on Free Full Access — every feature unlocked with 100 one-time messages (they don't reset monthly).
Run low? Add messages with a one-time top-up (50 for $9 or 100 for $18), or upgrade to Basic, Essential, or Business for more bots, storage, and a monthly renewing message allowance — all from Settings → Plans.
