[Deploy & integrate](#deploy--integrate) ## 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](https://app.quickchat.ai/). 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. Write the **AI Main Prompt** :::note The **AI Main Prompt** defines your AI Agent's role and how it should behave in conversations. Describe its purpose, what topics it handles, the tone you want, and any guardrails. For example: _You are Eco AI Agent. You offer advice on sustainable living and recommend eco-friendly products. Keep answers practical and friendly. If a user asks about something outside sustainability, politely redirect them._ ::: Below the textarea, click **Templates** to start from a pre-built prompt for **Customer support**, **Lead generation**, or **Shopping assistant** — then edit it to fit your brand. ## 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. ![Knowledge Base tab in Quickchat AI App.](https://docs.quickchat.ai/_astro/add_knowledge_base.DiRQgLFb.webp) 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. For now, let’s import a single page from your website to create a basic Knowledge Base: - Go to the Knowledge Base - Click the **Add Knowledge** button - Select the **Website** tab - Select 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. 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 **"AI Preview"** button in the left sidebar. 3. A page will appear, 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.
