AI Chatbots

How can I integrate the AI chatbot into my website?
If you haven't joined onWebChat yet, simply sign up for an account. Once registered, you'll gain access to the Pro AI plan and receive 50 AI bot credits to start using our AI chatbot. If you're currently on the free plan, you can easily upgrade to Pro AI or contact us via email to try it out. Integration is effortless: just provide some training data (questions and answers or your website content), and you're ready to test your AI chatbot on your website!
How is the AI chatbot priced?
Currently, you can try our AI chatbot with 50 free bot credits that we provide. To use the AI chatbot, you'll need to be on our Pro AI plan with at least one agent. Pricing starts at $6 for 200 chat dialogs, with lower prices available if you want to buy more chatbot credits.
Do chatbot credits expire?
No, your chatbot credits do not expire; you can use them at your convenience. You should be on our Pro AI plan to access these credits. If your subscription ends, you won't lose your remaining AI bot credits; you can use them when you upgrade to our Pro AI plan again.
How can I share feedback about the AI chatbot?
If you encounter any issues or have suggestions regarding our AI chatbot, please email us at support@onwebchat.com. Your feedback is crucial for enhancing our chatbot. To optimize its performance for your visitors, we recommend reviewing the AI chatbot's interaction history and updating it with new Q&A (questions and answers) pairs as necessary.
Can the AI bot understand questions, even those with errors, in any language?
Absolutely! Our AI chatbot excels at understanding questions, even those with mistakes. It leverages your data to provide accurate and freshly crafted responses, akin to human communication. Additionally, it offers multilingual support, allowing it to converse with your visitors in their preferred language, regardless of the language of your data.
Is my data secure with the AI chatbot?
At onWebChat, your security and privacy are paramount. Our AI chatbot upholds rigorous data protection, just like all our offerings. It utilizes OpenAI's GPT-4 model, ensuring chats are used solely to provide the service and don't refine OpenAI's models. While OpenAI may monitor data for misuse and retain it securely for up to 30 days, it is then permanently deleted.

More Advanced Topics

How can I test triggers?
If you're having trouble testing triggers, try opening a new browser tab and clearing all cookies and session storage, or use a new private browsing tab. Each visitor should see only one trigger per visit. If you have multiple triggers set up, only the first one will activate for a visitor. Also, ensure that your chat status is online, as triggers will only work when the chat is active.
How can I create a button on my website to open the chat widget?
You can use our JavaScript API to maximize the chat window:
<input type=button value='open chat!' onclick='onWebChat.set("max",1);'>
This example creates a button, but you can use the same function in a link as well. For more details, refer to our JavaScript API documentation.
Do you offer an affiliate program?
Yes, we offer an affiliate program. If you're interested, please contact us for more details.
How can I insert a line break in the chat?
You can press Shift+Enter to insert a line break in the chat. This feature is available for both visitors and agents.
What file types/size can I send?
Files can be up to 50MB in size. For security reasons, only the following file types are allowed: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, DOCX, XLSX, PDF, TXT, and RTF.
