Add AI Chatbot to an HTML website
Add Chatbit to a static HTML site without a CMS or a build plugin.
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 an HTML website
Open the shared HTML layout, or each page that needs the widget. Paste the complete Chatbit snippet immediately before the closing body tag. Upload the changed files to your host.
Platform reference: an HTML website documentation.
Keep the configuration script before the external embed script. If you use a Content Security Policy, review the widget requests in your browser and allow only the required origins.
4. Test the published site
Load a nested page directly, open the chat and send a question. Check the console if the script does not load.
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.
