Getting started

Quickstart — live in 5 minutes

From an empty account to a working assistant answering questions on your website. No code beyond one copy-paste snippet.

Create your account and project

Sign up free — no credit card required. The onboarding flow creates your organization and first project. A project is one assistant: its knowledge, its widget, and its conversations.

Add knowledge

Open Knowledge in your dashboard and either upload documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, Markdown and more) or open Website and point Asklify at your site or sitemap. Ingestion runs automatically — documents are chunked, embedded, and indexed in the background, usually within a minute.

Start with your help center, FAQ page, or product guide. A handful of good documents beats hundreds of thin pages.

Shape your assistant (optional)

Under Widget settings you can set the display name, greeting, suggested questions, brand color, theme, and position. Every change previews live. The defaults look great if you want to skip this.

Embed the widget

Copy your embed snippet from Widget → Install(it includes your project's public ID, which starts with pub_) and paste it before the closing </body> tag of your site:

index.html

<script
  src="https://api.asklify.in/widget.js"
  data-project-id="pub_YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
  defer
></script>

The public ID is safe to expose — access is protected by the domain allowlist you configure in widget settings, plus rate limiting. Your secret API keys (sk_...) are never used in the browser.

Verify it works

Reload your site. A launcher button appears in the corner — open it and ask a question your documents can answer. You'll see the reply stream in with source citations. Every conversation appears in your dashboard under Conversations.

That's it. Next steps: customize the widget, get an API key, or follow a framework guide.
