Add AI Chatbot to SvelteKit
Help visitors find answers while they use your SvelteKit website.
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 SvelteKit
Put the complete Chatbit snippet in src/app.html before the closing body tag, after the SvelteKit body placeholder. This gives the widget one document-level installation point.
Platform reference: SvelteKit documentation.
Keep the widget outside the element SvelteKit hydrates. If you only want it on selected routes, use a client-only loader with an explicit guard against duplicate scripts.
4. Test the published site
Follow an internal link, use the back button and open the chat again. Also test a direct load of a nested route.
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.
