Chatbot widget for docs

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, you'll need to have the following:

  • A Biel.ai account. If you don't have one, sign up for free.
  • A project created in your Biel.ai dashboard. If you haven't created one yet, follow the steps in the Quickstart guide.
  • An Astro project.

Installation​

To integrate the Biel.ai widget into your Astro site:

  1. Open your Astro project in your preferred code editor.

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

    <!-- Initialize the Biel.ai widget -->
    <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>

  3. 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.

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