Set up your AI Agent

To get started with Quickchat AI, the first thing you need to do is create your AI Agent.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Log in to the Quickchat AI Dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Identity tab located in the left sidebar.
3. Give your Agent a Name.

Note

This name will serve as the Agent’s identity when users ask, “Who are you?” It will also appear in the Widget and any other channels where the Agent is deployed. Choose an AI Agent name that reflects its role or aligns with your brand.

4. Add Short Description

Note

In the Short Description field, define your AI Agent’s role and purpose. For example: Eco AI Assistant offers advice on sustainable living and provides recommendations on eco-friendly products.

Add the Knowledge Base

The next step is to teach your AI Agent about your business. Knowledge Base allows the AI to give precise and relevant answers to the users.

You can populate the Knowledge Base in several ways:

• Manually: Type or paste text directly into the Knowledge Base.
• Upload Files: Add PDFs or text documents containing relevant information.
• Import Website Content: Provide URLs for the AI Agent to extract knowledge from specific pages.
• Integrate with Intercom: Import articles from your Intercom knowledge base if applicable.

For now, let’s import a single page from your website to create a basic Knowledge Base:

• Go to the Knowledge Base
• Select the Website tab
• Click the Single page import option
• Paste the URL of the page you want to import
• Click “Import”

Wait a moment until you see a new Article in your Knowledge Base. The Article status will update to “Edited.” Learn more about Article statuses here.

Later, we’ll test the AI Agent by asking it questions about this page.

Caution

Don’t forget to retrain your AI Agent every time you add or update knowledge.

Customize behavior and tone of voice

Once you’ve added knowledge, it’s time to customize your AI Agent’s Personality and behavior to match your needs.

AI Personality

AI Personality determines the tone and style of your Agent’s responses. Choose a style that aligns with your brand and goals.

If your business is customer-facing and casual, a Classic or Friendly tone might work best.

AI Profession

AI Profession allows you to customize your AI Agent’s approach to users, ensuring it aligns with your specific goals. If your priority is to drive immediate sales, you might choose a profession like Shopping Assistant to nudge conversions. If you want to collect feedback or conduct interviews, the Interviewer profession would be a better fit.

Different use cases may require different AI Professions to align with your goals.

Note

By default, every AI Agent starts as a Helpful Assistant — a versatile, general-purpose profession suitable for most use cases.

Languages

Your AI Agent can speak one or more languages.

• Primary Language

Choose the main language your AI Agent will use, like English, Spanish, or Polish.

• Additional Languages

Add more languages if needed. It will detect the user’s language and respond automatically in the user’s language.

Test with AI Preview

After editing the Knowledge Base and Settings, you need to review and accept the changes to ensure everything works as expected.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Click the “Retrain AI” button at the top of the interface.
2. Wait until Retrain is done, and then click “Test your AI” button
3. A window will slide in, allowing you to test responses from your AI

Go ahead and ask a question about the page you imported before. Check if the answers are accurate and the tone of voice matches what you want.

Deploy & integrate

Quickchat AI integrates with various platforms to make your AI Agent accessible where your users are. Deploy it seamlessly across websites, messaging platforms, and other external applications.

You can add the AI Agent to your website with just a few lines of code.

Add an expandable Widget or an iFrame chat window for even easier access:

1. Copy the provided embed code from the Integrations tab in the Quickchat dashboard.
2. Paste it into your website’s HTML.
