From a website URL to a live AI agent: the Kothok onboarding journey
A step-by-step walk through what actually happens after you sign up — tell Kothok about your business, drop in your site, let it learn, and go live in about five minutes.
Most chatbots ask you to script every question and answer by hand. Kothok takes the opposite approach: you point it at what you already have — your website — and it learns your business for you. The whole setup is a short, guided wizard, and most teams go from sign-up to a live AI agent in about five minutes. Here’s exactly what happens along the way.
Tell Kothok about your business
Right after you create an account, the wizard opens with a warm welcome and a couple of quick details: what your business is called and what it does. This isn’t busywork — it gives the agent a name, a voice, and a bit of context so its very first replies already sound like you rather than a generic bot.
You also choose where its knowledge should come from. Most people pick their website, but if your product lives in a document — a policy PDF, a help-centre export, a product spec — you can start from that instead.
Drop in your site and let Kothok crawl it
Next you paste your website URL. Behind the scenes, Kothok begins crawling your pages — product descriptions, FAQs, pricing, policies, docs — and turns them into a knowledge base the agent can search when a visitor asks a question.
You don’t have to sit and wait. The wizard shows live crawl progress and keeps the state saved, so you can move ahead or come back and pick up exactly where you left off. This crawl-and-learn step is the heart of the journey: it’s what lets Kothok answer from your content instead of guessing.
Make the widget yours
While your content is being learned, you get to shape how the agent looks and feels: its greeting, tone, colour, and where it sits on the page. Because Kothok speaks English, Bangla, and Banglish out of the box, you can set the language your customers actually use.
Everything here is no-code and lives in your dashboard, so you can keep tuning the welcome message or appearance later without touching a line of markup.
Install the snippet and go live
The final step is the only one that touches your site, and it’s a single line. Kothok gives you a script tag with your workspace’s public key:
<script
src="https://static.kothok.ai/js/widgets.js"
data-public-key="pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
async
></script>Paste it just before your closing </body> tag — or use the Next.js / React helperif that’s your stack — reload, and the agent appears in the corner. The widget is lightweight and loads asynchronously, so it never slows your page down. Once Kothok detects the script, you’re done: the wizard flips to Go Live and your dashboard unlocks.
What the journey is really doing for you
Each step maps to a real piece of getting value quickly:
- Business details give the agent its personality from message one.
- The crawl means you never hand-write a knowledge base — your site is the training data.
- Widget customisationkeeps it on-brand and in your customers’ language.
- One-line install removes the usual developer-ticket bottleneck.
That’s the whole point of the onboarding journey: the fastest possible path from “I have a website” to “I have an AI agent answering questions and capturing leads on it.” And because there’s a genuine free tier, you can walk the entire path and see it working before you ever think about a plan.
