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.
  • Node.js installed.

Installation​

To integrate the Biel.ai widget into your site:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt. Navigate to your project's root directory using the cd command:

    cd path/to/your/project

    Replace path/to/your/project with your project's actual directory path.

  2. With your terminal still open, run the following command to install Biel.ai:

    npm install pushfeedback

  3. Make sure you embed the styles and scripts in your primary JS or entry file:

    // Incorporate Biel.ai styles
    import 'pushfeedback/dist/biel-search/biel-search.css';

    // Initialize the Biel.ai widget
    import 'pushfeedback/dist/biel-search/biel-search.esm.js';

  4. Just before the closing </body> tag of your website's HTML, 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.

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