Quickstart

Biel.ai turns your technical documentation into answers for users and context for AI agents, with links back to your sources. Offer chat and search on your site, or connect AI tools through MCP. Analytics shows where users get stuck and what your docs need to explain next.

1. Create your Biel.ai account

1. Open app.biel.ai.

2. Click Sign up.

3. Enter your Work email and Password. You can also add your Name and Company name.

4. Accept the Terms of service and Privacy policy, then click Create account.

5. Open the verification link in your email to activate your account.

   

2. Create a project

A project holds the sources and settings used by chat, search, and MCP.

1. In the dashboard, click Projects > Create project.

2. Enter a Name for your project.

3. Add one or more Sources:

   Source type	Description
   URLs	Individual webpages, such as https://docs.biel.ai/.
   Sitemaps	Multiple pages from a sitemap URL.
   GitHub	Documentation files from a repository.
   OpenAPI	API documentation from an OpenAPI specification URL.
   Confluence	Pages from a Confluence space.
   YouTube	Video transcripts from individual YouTube URLs.
   Vimeo	Video transcripts from individual Vimeo URLs.
   Q&A	Questions and answers you write directly.
   Files	PDF, Office, Markdown, and other documents.

   To use Files, create the project first, then upload your documents in Settings > Sources > Files.

   

4. Click Create project. If you added only one URL, click Proceed anyway in the coverage warning, or cancel to add more sources.

5. On Install the widget, choose AI Assistant or AI Search. Preview the widget and optionally expand Customize appearance.

   

6. Under Add to your website, use Copy code to copy the snippet for your website. You can install it later.

   

7. Click Continue to test.

Biel.ai crawls and indexes your sources while you set up the widget. The next screen shows Your project is ready to test when processing finishes.

3. Test the assistant

1. On Test your project, click Test assistant.

2. In the chat window, type a question about your indexed content and click Send.

   

Close the chat window, then click Go to project to view your saved conversations and settings. You can start another test from New chat on the project dashboard. The dashboard shows Sources loading during a crawl and Sources loaded when it finishes.
