Before you start
- A Botvee account — Sign up on botvee.ai. The Free plan is enough to follow this guide
- Your website address — The agent learns from your public pages. Pages behind a login cannot be read
- Your key documents — Price list, delivery and return policy, FAQ. PDF, Word or text files all work
- Access to your website — The admin login for WordPress or Shopify, or someone who can edit your site’s code
Step 1 — Create your AI agent
The agent is the assistant that will talk to your customers. You give it a name, a tone and simple instructions.
- 1
Open My AI Agents
In the side menu, click My AI Agents. This page lists every agent you own. It is empty on a new account
- 2
Click “Create agent”
You see ready-made templates for common businesses, such as online stores and service businesses. Pick the one closest to yours, or click “Start from Scratch” to write everything yourself
- 3
Fill in the details
Type the agent’s name (customers see it in the chat header), your website address, your business category and the tone it should use, for example friendly or formal. The instructions box is filled in from the template; read it and change anything that does not fit your business
- 4
Click “Next Step”
Botvee scans your website and shows its pages, plus any files you have uploaded. Tick the ones the agent should learn from. Start with Home, About, Pricing, Delivery and FAQ pages
- 5
Click “Create & Train AI Agent”
The agent is created and starts learning straight away. You can leave the page; training carries on in the background
Note
Training your first AI agent is free. After that, training uses 1 credit for every 3,000 characters of text.
Step 2 — Teach it more
Your agent only knows what you give it. If a customer asks about something that is not in its content, it will say it does not know and offer help from your team. So add the information customers ask about most: prices, delivery times, return rules and opening hours.
- 1
Add pages or files
Open Dashboard → Knowledge Base. Click “Add website” to add more pages, or “Upload files” to add documents such as a PDF price list
- 2
Give them to the agent
Go to My AI Agents, open the menu on your agent’s card, click “Assign Knowledge”, tick the new items and click “Save & Train AI Agent”. Adding a file to the library alone does not teach the agent; assigning it does
- 3
Watch progress
Open Dashboard → Task Monitoring. Each page shows Success, Failed or Pending. Click “Retry” on a failed one
Step 3 — Test it
- 1
Open the Playground
Click Dashboard → Playground and pick your agent from the list
- 2
Ask real questions
Type the ten questions customers ask you most, for example “How much is delivery to Lahore?”
- 3
Check each answer
Compare prices and policies with your website. They must match exactly
- 4
Fix weak answers
Give a thumbs down, then click “Open Knowledge Base” and add the missing information. Train again and ask the same question once more
Step 4 — Put it on your website
- 1
Open Integrations
In the side menu, click Integrations. You see a card for every channel Botvee supports
- 2
Pick your website type
Click “Connect” on WordPress, Shopify, or Custom Website for any other site
- 3
Follow the short steps in the window
WordPress and Shopify need no code. For a custom site you copy one piece of code into your site. Each method is explained step by step on the Installation page
Step 5 — Go live
- 1
Open your website
Use a private (incognito) window so you see what a new visitor sees
- 2
Find the chat button
It appears in the bottom corner of the page. Click it to open the chat window
- 3
Send a test message
Ask a real question and check the reply
- 4
Find your chat in the dashboard
Every chat shows up in Dashboard → All Chats, and chats that need a person show in Dashboard → Inbox
The parts of the chat widget
botvee.ai- 1HeaderAgent name, your logo and live status — all customisable
- 2MessagesSeparate colours for AI, visitor and human agent bubbles
- 3Chat optionsTalk to a person, Report a problem, Give feedback, End chat — shown based on your Agent Settings
- 4Input areaText, voice notes, photos and documents
- 5Footer“Powered by Botvee”, removable on the Pro plan
What happens next
From now on the agent answers every visitor who opens the chat. It asks interested visitors for their details, offers a support ticket or a person from your team when it cannot help, and saves every conversation. You can change how it looks in Dashboard → Customization and how it behaves in Dashboard → Agent Settings at any time, without touching your website again.
Good to know
- Each AI reply uses 10 credits, including replies in the Playground
- The Free plan includes 500 credits every month
- You can stop the agent at any time with “Deactivate” in the agent’s menu, without deleting anything
Troubleshooting
- Training failed on some pages — The page may be behind a login or blocked. Open Dashboard → Task Monitoring, read the error and click “Retry”
- The agent says it does not know — The information is not in its content yet. Add it in the Knowledge Base and assign it to the agent
- The chat button does not show on your site — Clear your caching plugin and test in a private window. See Troubleshooting
- The agent stopped replying — Check Dashboard → Billing → Usage. You may have used all your credits
Tip
Next, connect WhatsApp so the same agent answers there too. See WhatsApp.
