Step 2: Train your chatbot
With a website
Have a help center, product documentation, or other public-facing content? You can easily import this information with eesel AI’s crawler. It automatically pulls content from your website, blog, or FAQs, making it available to your chatbot.
How it works:
- “Sources” in the dashboard and select “website”.
- Enter the URL of the public page you want to use, such as your help center.
- Let eesel do its thing as it crawls the site for a few moments.
This is perfect for any customer-facing content, allowing your chatbot to handle frequently asked questions.
Using the Extension for Private Content
For knowledge behind a login (think Notion pages, Confluence documents, or other private files) you can use eesel AI’s browser extension.
This allows you to pull in content that’s only available to your team. It’s great for training the chatbot so it can assist with internal queries as well.
How it works:
- Install the eesel AI browser extension.
2. Open the internal document or page in a browser tab (like a Notion page or a Google Doc).
3. Use the extension’s “Add sources” feature to add that content to eesel AI.
eesel AI handles the heavy lifting – automatically gathering the knowledge it needs to provide real-time, accurate answers.
There’s no need to manually train the AI. The system can understand anyone’s questions and give them the answers they’re looking for based on the information you’ve just trained the AI on.
Step 3: Chat with the AI chatbot
With your knowledge sources uploaded, your eesel AI chatbot is ready to go. Now comes the fun part: testing!
So go ahead and ask questions to see how it responds. The chatbot pulls directly from the knowledge you’ve provided (whether it’s from public content or private documents) and delivers accurate answers instantly.
How to test your chatbot:
- Access the chatbot directly through the eesel AI dashboard.
- Type in a question. “What’s our return policy?” or “How do I reset my laptop password?” are good places to start.
- The chatbot responds immediately, pulling its answer from the content you’ve provided.
It should feel like you’re chatting with a human assistant. Whether customer-facing or internal, the chatbot uses your company’s knowledge to give precise answers.
The more comprehensive your knowledge base, the more valuable and useful the responses will be.
Step 4: Deploy the chatbot across your platforms
Once you’ve tested your chatbot, it’s time to put it where people want it. eesel AI integrates seamlessly with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and as a website widget, allowing you to meet users where they are.

- Go to your eesel AI dashboard.
- Look for ‘Destinations’ on the left of your screen select the + icon.

And you’re done! Anyone in your Slack can now ask the chatbot anything simply by sending it a message in Slack.

Embed as a website widget
If your goal is to provide customer-facing support, you can embed the eesel AI chat bubble directly on your website.
This allows visitors to ask questions and get immediate answers without having to contact your support team. It’s ideal for reducing the volume of basic customer inquiries, such as questions about products, shipping, or return policies.
How to add the website widget:
- Go to your eesel AI dashboard.
- Look for ‘Destinations’ on the left of your screen select the + icon.
- Select ‘Chat Bubble’ then tap ‘Enable.’
4. Tap on the new Chat Bubble now under the Destinations subhead.
5. You can edit the Widget’s appearance and settings from this screen.
6. Now, tap the ‘Code Snippet’ Tab at the top of your screen.
When you visit the page where you’ve placed the code snippet’s HTML code, you’ll be able to chat with eesel AI.
