Add AI Chatbot to Ghost
Help readers find answers about your publication, membership options and editorial topics.
1. Create your chatbot
Create a Chatbit account, add your website or documents as sources, and test a few questions. Set the welcome message, colors and instructions to match your business. See how to add sources.
2. Copy your embed code
Open your chatbot's Share panel and copy the complete Script snippet. Keep both the configuration and the external script together. See the website setup guide.
3. Add the code to Ghost
Use Code Injection in Ghost Admin to paste the complete snippet into the site footer. Save it and load your published site outside the admin preview.
Platform reference: Ghost documentation.
Source public posts and membership FAQs. Member-only articles should not become sources for a public bot unless you intend everyone to receive their contents.
4. Test the published site
Ask about membership benefits while signed out. Confirm that the widget does not cover the membership signup controls.
If the button is missing, check that the code is saved on the published site, clear any page cache, and look for blocked requests in your browser. If it appears twice, remove the duplicate installation.
Keep the answers useful
Review the first conversations and update source content where answers are unclear. Include a contact route for questions your bot cannot answer. Learn how to improve responses.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a platform-specific Chatbit plugin?
The setup above uses the script supplied in Chatbit. Your website platform may require a paid plan or a script-management plugin to allow that code.
Can I remove the chatbot later?
Yes. Remove the snippet from the location where you installed it, publish the change, and clear any page cache. Keep a copy of the code if you plan to add it again.
