Getting Started

Follow these five steps to create your first AI chatbot and have it running on your website in under 5 minutes.

⏱️ Estimated time: 3–5 minutes. All you need is an email address and your website URL.

1 Create Your Account

Start by creating a free account on Searj. Navigate to the registration page and fill in the following:

  • Email address — Use your business email (e.g., [email protected])
  • Password — Choose a strong password (at least 8 characters with a mix of letters and numbers)
  • Company name — Your company or project name as you want it displayed

💡 Tip: You can change your company name later from your account settings. Choose any initial name for now.

2 Create Your First Bot

After logging in, you'll land on the dashboard. Follow these steps to create your first bot:

  1. Click the "Create New Bot" button at the top of the page
  2. Enter a bot name (e.g., "Customer Service Assistant")
  3. Write a System Prompt — this defines the bot's personality and behavior
  4. Select the language: Arabic, English, or Both
  5. Click "Create" to save your bot

📝 Example System Prompt:

You are a helpful assistant for "Kuwait House" restaurant. Help customers with menu inquiries, opening hours, and reservations. Be friendly and professional. Always respond in Arabic.

3 Train Your Bot

Now it's time to give your bot the knowledge it needs to answer customer questions. Go to the "Content" tab on your bot page and choose one of these methods:

📄 Upload a PDF

Upload PDF files containing your business information such as price lists, FAQs, company policies, or any reference documents.

🔗 Add a Website URL

Enter a web page URL and Searj will automatically extract the content and train your bot on it. Perfect for "About Us" and "Services" pages.

✏️ Type Manual Text

Type or paste text content directly. This is useful for adding custom FAQs or specific information not available in your documents.

⚠️ The more accurate and comprehensive the information you provide, the better your bot's responses will be. Make sure to update content regularly to keep your bot up to date.

4 Test Your Bot

Before deploying your bot to your website, test it using the live preview:

  1. Navigate to the "Widget" tab on your bot page
  2. A live preview of the chat widget will appear as it will look on your website
  3. Type test questions and verify the bot responds correctly
  4. If the responses aren't satisfactory, adjust the system prompt or add more training content

💡 Try a variety of questions — both simple and complex — to make sure your bot handles all cases well.

5 Embed on Your Website

The final step is adding the chat widget to your website. It's very simple:

  1. In the "Widget" tab, find the "Embed Code" section
  2. Click the "Copy Code" button to copy the embed snippet
  3. Paste the code into your website HTML pages before the closing tag </body>

The embed code will look something like this:

<script
  src="https://app.searj.com/widget.js"
  data-bot-id="your-bot-id"
  async>
</script>

⚠️ Make sure to paste the code on every page where you want the chat widget to appear. If you're using a platform like WordPress or Shopify, paste the code in the Footer settings.

🎉 Congratulations! Your Bot is Now Live

Well done! Your AI chatbot is now ready and live on your website. You can monitor conversations from your dashboard and improve your bot's responses at any time by adding new training content.

  • Dive deeper into bot settings to customize the system prompt, colors, and messages
