How do I set up Chatref for my IoT platform?

Chatref’s AI agent learns strictly from the content you provide - no internet searches, no guessing. Gather your IoT platform’s device manuals, API reference docs, troubleshooting guides, and FAQ pages. Upload PDFs, paste URLs to your help center, or submit sitemaps. The agent will index everything and be ready to answer questions grounded in your own material, ensuring accurate, brand-consistent responses for your users.

Create your Chatref account - no credit card needed and you get $50 in free credit. Once your content is uploaded, use the guided onboarding to tailor the agent. Assign a name, pick a primary color to match your IoT platform’s branding, and set the response tone. Test the agent in the live playground, asking it typical IoT support questions like “How do I pair a sensor?” or “What does error E-07 mean?” to confirm accuracy. This onboarding gets you live quickly without coding.

Head to the “Website Widget” section in your Chatref dashboard. Copy the single embed snippet and paste it into the HTML of your IoT platform’s dashboard, user portal, or support page. Configure allowed origins to ensure the widget only loads on your domains. In minutes, the AI agent appears as a chat bubble on your digital products, ready to assist customers wherever they need help.

With the widget live, your Chatref agent automatically handles common IoT support requests around the clock. It answers device setup, connectivity, and troubleshooting queries from your own docs, deflecting repeat tickets before they hit your team. The agent stays in your brand voice, and if a conversation needs human attention, you can review it in the shared conversation inbox and step in with full context. This AI chatbot implementation lets your support team focus on complex issues while delivering fast, reliable answers to every user.

How to integrate Chatref with IoT platforms
Integrating Chatref involves two simple steps: (1) Train an AI agent by uploading your IoT platform’s documentation (PDFs, URLs, or sitemaps) into your Chatref account. (2) Copy the provided widget snippet and paste it into the HTML of your IoT dashboard, user portal, or support site. The agent will answer user questions based on your content, with no ongoing code changes needed.
