Ask AI chat widget answers questions and books meetings

The Ask AI chat widget example on a website

The Ask AI chat widget lets your website visitors ask questions and get instant answers, based on your website content and materials.

It doesn't use the internet or guess. If the answer isn't on your site or uploaded materials, it won't make one up.

How to set up the Ask AI chat widget

In the app, click the Ask AI icon in the left panel. From there, you can turn the widget on.

Once it's on, you can:

  • Choose whether the widget appears in the bottom right or left corner of your site

  • Add a short intro text that shows inside the widget

  • Write instructions for what the widget should say when a visitor asks to speak to your team

  • Decide if answers should show images from your pages

On any page, you can also replace a CTA button with the Ask AI search field. When a visitor types their message and clicks to submit, the widget opens.

This way, the Ask AI becomes like an advanced search bar for your site.

Capture leads

If you want to collect leads through the widget, turn on the lead capturing toggle.

The lead capture form only appears when a visitor shows interest in your product or asks to speak to your team. It only shows once based on signals and when requested, so it won't interrupt every conversation.

By default, the form collects first name, last name, and email.

Add extra materials for Ask AI to use when answering questions

Sometimes you've got information about your competitors or small details that don't have a place on the site yet. Or you might be building a new website and your content is still thin.
