  1. Create your Dante AI account.
  2. Create a new AI agent and name it.
  3. Train it on your content: a website URL, files such as PDFs, or Q&A pairs.
  4. Customize it: tone, Human Hand Off and booking buttons.
  5. Embed it: copy the snippet from the Install tab and paste it into your site.

Why does no-code matter when building an AI chatbot?

Building AI tools used to require developers, API integrations, and technical setup. Today, no-code chatbot builders remove that barrier.

A no-code chatbot platform allows you to:

  • Launch quickly without engineering resources
  • Update information without developer involvement
  • Train your chatbot using existing content
  • Deploy across your website without a developer

For businesses that need fast implementation, no-code eliminates friction.

Step 3: How do you train your AI chatbot with your data?

Training is where your chatbot becomes useful.

Dante AI chatbots are trained using:

  • Uploaded files such as PDFs or documents
  • Website URLs
  • Knowledge-based resources

Uploading files

Go to your chatbot’s data section and upload relevant files. This could include:

  • FAQs
  • Service guides
  • Product documentation
  • Policy documents

Adding URLs or videos

You can also add:

  • Website URLs
  • Blog posts
  • Resource pages

The AI agent will use this content to generate accurate answers. For tips on getting this step right, read our guide on how to train a chatbot on your own data.

Step 4: How do you customize your AI chatbot?

Customization ensures the chatbot matches your brand and workflow.

With Dante AI, you can:

  • Define conversation tone
  • Enable Human Hand Off
  • Add scheduling or appointment buttons
  • Control where the chatbot appears in conversation

Human Hand Off allows users to connect with a live agent inside the same chat at chosen points.

Scheduling buttons can link to any existing booking tool.

You can also choose which model powers your AI agent, including the GPT-5.6 tiers, without retraining anything.

Step 5: How do you embed your chatbot on your website?

Once trained and customized:

  1. Open your agent's Publish page and switch to the Install tab.
  2. Pick Floating (a launcher button in the bottom right corner) or Script (the chat inside a page).
  3. Add your website's hostname to Allowed domains, so nobody else can run your snippet.
  4. Click Copy embed code.
  5. Paste it into your website's HTML, just before the closing </body> tag.

The floating snippet looks like this. Yours already carries your own agent ID and widget key, so copy it from the Install tab rather than from here:

<script src="https://agents.dante-ai.com/embed.js" data-agent-id="YOUR_AGENT_ID" data-widget-key="YOUR_WIDGET_KEY" crossorigin="anonymous" async></script>

On WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Shopify, paste it into the builder's footer or custom code setting. The exact clicks for the most common platforms are in the next section. No coding knowledge is required beyond placing the snippet.

How do you add the chatbot to WordPress, Shopify or any HTML site?

You paste the same snippet in every case; only the place you paste it changes. Copy it first from the Install tab on your agent's Publish page, then follow the steps for your platform. The Install tab shows these same steps when you pick your site builder.

Any HTML site (the script tag)

  1. Open the HTML for your page, or your site-wide template or footer.
  2. Paste the snippet just before the closing </body> tag.
  3. Save and reload your site. The widget loads on its own.

WordPress

  1. Install a headers-and-footers plugin (for example WPCode or Insert Headers and Footers), or open Appearance, then Theme File Editor.
  2. Paste the snippet into the Footer box, or just before </body>.
  3. Save, then reload your site. The widget appears on every page.

Prefer not to touch code at all? There is also an official WordPress plugin that connects with an API key from Integrations in your dashboard instead of a snippet. The embed guide names the exact plugin to install, since an older plugin is for the earlier platform. More detail is in our guide to an AI chatbot for WordPress.

Shopify

  1. In Shopify admin, open Online Store, then Themes, then the three-dot menu and Edit code.
  2. Open theme.liquid and paste the snippet just before </body>.
  3. Save. The widget shows across your storefront.

What a store chatbot should answer is covered in our guide to an AI chatbot for Shopify.

Wix, Squarespace and Google Sites

  • Wix: open Settings, then Custom Code (under Advanced), add a new snippet, set it to load on All pages in the Body - end, and publish.
  • Squarespace: open Settings, then Advanced, then Code Injection, and paste the snippet into the Footer box.
  • Google Sites: site-wide scripts are blocked, so switch Embed type to Script on the Install tab (under Advanced options), then use Insert, Embed, Embed code on the page where you want the chat.

How do you know the chatbot is live on your website?

Open your site in a private or incognito window after you paste the snippet. The launcher should appear in the bottom right corner within a second or two.

The Install tab also shows a Live status card above the snippet. It says your AI agent is live once a real visitor loads a page with the snippet on it, and Check again re-checks on demand. You do not need to repaste the snippet when you change the agent's look, knowledge or behaviour; those changes apply the next time a visitor opens the chat.

How long does it actually take?

It depends on how much content you point it at. A single page is ready long before a large site with hundreds of pages.

You do not have to sit and watch. Training runs in the background, you see progress as it goes, and the sandbox opens as soon as your agent is ready to answer.

What should you test before launching?

Before going live:

  • Ask common customer questions
  • Verify answers are accurate
  • Check Human Hand Off triggers correctly
  • Confirm scheduling buttons work
  • Review conversation logs

Every interaction is logged, showing what users asked and when.

What mistakes should you avoid?

Even with no-code tools, mistakes can slow you down.

Avoid:

  • Uploading outdated documents
  • Forgetting to test edge cases
  • Overloading the chatbot with irrelevant files
  • Launching without reviewing conversation logs

Clean, structured content improves chatbot performance.

Why build your website chatbot with Dante AI?

Dante AI is built for simplicity and scalability.

With Dante AI, you can:

  • Train AI chatbots using uploaded content and URLs
  • Answer questions instantly

You can build and test your first AI agent on the free plan, which includes 100 message credits per month, then move to a paid plan from $40 per month when you need more volume.

What results can you expect after launching?

After launching your AI chatbot, you can expect:

  • Faster responses to website visitors

  • Higher engagement on key pages
  • Better visibility into customer intent
