Setup
How do powersports dealers set up Chatref?
Setting up Chatref for your powersports dealership takes minutes. First, create a free account and claim your $50 credit. Then, upload your inventory lists, financing PDFs, and service FAQs to build a knowledge base. Customize the widget's colors and logo to match your brand, activate AI agents to answer questions automatically, and review conversations through the shared inbox for seamless human handoffs when needed.
1. Create Your Account and Claim Your Free Credit
Go to app.chatref.ai and sign up with your work email. Every new powersports dealer account starts with a $50 credit, no credit card required. The credit never expires, so you can test your dealership chatbot setup risk-free. Once signed in, you are taken straight to the agent builder where you can create your first AI agent and configure your powersports dealer Chatref configuration.
2. Build Your Powersports Knowledge Base
The knowledge base is the core of your motorcycle dealership support software installation. Upload your owner’s manuals, service procedures, pricing sheets, and unit spec PDFs. Chatref also ingests content from your website or any sitemap you provide. The agent answers every customer question from these documents alone – no guessing, no internet search. This grounded approach ensures customers get accurate info about inventory, financing, and service intervals every time.
3. Customize the Widget for Your Brand
Under the customization tab, set your widget’s primary color to match your dealership’s palette (handlebar orange, racing red, or whatever fits your showroom). Upload your logo and choose a friendly agent name. The widget then appears on your site looking like a natural part of your brand. This is a one-time configuration; every AI agent you build inherits the same on-brand styling, so your dealership chatbot setup always feels native to your lot.
4. Activate AI Agents and the Shared Inbox
Once your knowledge base is trained, toggle your agent live. It immediately starts answering common questions – like “What’s the top speed of the 2026 Cruiser?” or “Do you finance used ATVs?” – without waiting for a staff member. For more complex situations (trade-in appraisals, high-value financing), the shared inbox lets your sales or service team jump into the same conversation thread, with full context already visible. One click and a human takes over, keeping the experience seamless for the buyer.
