Getting Started
Set up your first AI chatbot in 5 minutes. Follow these six steps to go from zero to a fully working support bot on your website.
Create an Account
Head over to the sign-up page and create your free Chattery account. You can sign up with your email or use Google OAuth for a faster start. Check your inbox for a verification email and confirm your address to activate your account.
Tip: Use your work email so team members can join your workspace later.
Create Your First Chatbot
Once you're in the dashboard, click the "New Chatbot" button. Give your chatbot a name (e.g., "Support Bot" or "Sales Assistant") and optionally add your website URL. This takes less than 30 seconds.
Tip: Name your chatbot after its purpose so you can easily identify it when you have multiple bots.
Train Your Chatbot
Add knowledge sources so your chatbot can answer questions accurately. You have three options: paste URLs for automatic scraping, upload documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, or Markdown), or manually add Q&A pairs for precise control.
Tip: Start with your FAQ page or help docs. The chatbot works best with focused, well-structured content.
Customize Appearance
Make the chatbot match your brand. Set your primary color, upload a logo, write a welcoming greeting message, and adjust the personality settings. You can also add custom CSS for pixel-perfect styling.
Tip: Keep the welcome message short and friendly. Something like "Hi! How can I help you today?" works well.
Embed on Your Site
Copy the embed script from your chatbot settings and paste it into your website just before the closing </body> tag. The widget will appear as a floating chat bubble in the bottom-right corner.
<script src="https://cdn.getchattery.com/widget.js"
data-chatbot-id="bot_abc123"
async>
</script>Tip: The embed script is lightweight (~15 KB gzipped) and loads asynchronously, so it won't affect your page speed.
Monitor & Improve
Check your analytics dashboard to see how visitors interact with your chatbot. Review conversations to spot gaps in knowledge, check satisfaction ratings, and run A/B tests to optimize responses.
Tip: Set up Slack or email notifications so you get alerted when a conversation is escalated to a human.
