How to Set Up an AI Chatbot for Your Business
7 steps · 45 minutes
Enable the AI chatbot
Go to Settings > AI Features > Chatbot and activate it. Choose between a booking-focused bot or a general Q&A + booking bot.
Train the bot with your business info
Upload your FAQ, service descriptions, pricing, policies, and hours. The AI uses this to answer questions accurately.
Include your top 20 most-asked questions for the best immediate results.
Configure booking capabilities
Connect the chatbot to your scheduling system so it can check availability, suggest times, and create bookings in real time.
Customize the chat widget
Match the widget to your brand with custom colors, avatar, welcome message, and positioning on your website.
Set escalation rules
Define when the bot should hand off to a human: complex questions, complaints, or high-value leads that need personal attention.
Embed on your website
Add the chatbot code to your site. It appears as a small chat icon in the corner of every page.
Monitor and improve
Review chat transcripts weekly. Identify questions the bot could not answer and add them to its knowledge base.
