Add the chatbot widget​

Chatbot widget for docs

To integrate the Biel.AI chat widget into your Jekyll site:

  1. Open the _includes/head.html file (or the equivalent file that contains the <head> section in your Jekyll theme). Append the following code:

    <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. Open _includes/footer.html or the specific file where you'd like the chatbot to appear. Add the following snippet just before its closing tags:

    <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. Run jekyll build and verify the chatbot appears on your site.
