  1. Locate the src/layouts/Layout.astro file (or any layout file that wraps your pages) and insert the following code within the <head> section:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/biel-search/dist/biel-search/biel-search.css">
    <script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/biel-search/dist/biel-search/biel-search.esm.js"></script>

  2. Just before the closing </body> tag of your layout file, add the following snippet:

    <biel-button project="<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>"
        header-title="Biel.ai chatbot"
        button-position="bottom-right"
        modal-position="bottom-right"
        button-style="dark">
            Ask AI
    </biel-button>

    Replace <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> with your project's ID from the Biel.ai dashboard.

  3. Open the website in a web browser to verify the chatbot appears and works correctly.
