Guide

Setting up your chatbot

Setting up your chatbot is easy; follow along with the video below where we set up an NPM chatbot, and you'll be done in no time!

Below, we will go more in-depth regarding the different pages of the dashboard.

Sources

The sources section is where you define how and where your chatbot acquires its knowledge. Currently, there are two types of sources available:

  1. Website
  2. Text
Website

To utilize this source type, input a website address (URL). Your chatbot will then visit the specified website to gather new information.

It will also follow links on the website to explore additional pages and expand its knowledge.

Note: when accessing links, it will only crawl to children paths e.g. when given the link is https://example.com/about

Will crawl paths:

  • /about/child-path
  • /about/org
  • /about/people

Will NOT crawl:

  • /another-page

Text

In this source type, you can provide any information you want your chatbot to learn.

This information can take the form of long-form text or Q&A-style content.
