Step 2: Setting up your chatbot

The agent we created in step 1 above in various fields as well as basic natural language processing skills allow us to answer questions correctly and conversationally. But we need to do some configuration.

• On your agent page, click Settings at the top of the page to open the settings page.
• On the settings page, click Template in the left sidebar.
• Scroll down to the instructions field and provide a custom instruction that you want your agent to follow. Ideally, provide instructions on how you want your agent to behave. If you're not sure what to use, you can click the Prompt Template button to restore as per standard instructions.
• Scroll further down and change the default AI model from GPT 3.5-turbo to GPT-4. You can also adjust the agent temperature to adjust the creativity of the response using the slider.
• When finished, click Save, then click Integrations at the top of the page.

Step 3: Onboard your agent

Now it's time to prepare it for deployment. With Chats GO agents, you have several deployment options. You can deploy it to your website, Slack, Zapier, WhatsApp, and other channels.

• On the Integrations page, “Website (widget)” you can customize how you want the agent to apply to your website when deploying it. Carefully scroll through the options and adjust the default colors and messages to your taste. You should see a live preview of how the agent will appear on the right side of the page, you need to make it your public agent
• Still on the Website page (widget), scroll down the page to see the code that will be incorporated into your website.
• You will receive a code snippet. This is the HTML/JavaScript code you need to insert into your website. Copy this code.
• Access your website's backend where you can edit the HTML code. This can be done through a content management system (CMS) like WordPress or by directly editing the website's HTML files.
• Find the section of your website where you want the applicable agent. Paste the copied code snippet into your website's HTML in the chosen location. If you have no knowledge of HTML or website structure, it may be advisable to ask a web developer for help.
• After pasting the code, save the changes and refresh your site to see the agent in action.
• Test the agent on your website to ensure it is working properly. Try asking the agent specific related questions to confirm they are responding accurately and efficiently.
