Getting Started

Welcome to Caty.AI! This guide will help you set up your AI chatbot in minutes.

Prerequisites

• A website where you can add JavaScript code
• A Caty.AI account (sign up here)

Step 1: Create Your Widget

1. Log in to app.catyai.io
2. Click Create Widget
3. Enter your business information:
   • Business name
   • Website URL
   • Business type

Step 2: Get Your API Key

After creating your widget, you'll see your API key in the dashboard. It looks like:

caty_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Keep this key secure - it's used to authenticate your widget.

Step 3: Install the Widget

Add this script tag to your website, just before the closing </body> tag:

<script
  src="https://api.catyai.io/widget.js"
  data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY">
</script>

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.

      <Script

        data-api-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
        strategy="lazyOnload"
      />
    </>
  )
}
