Getting started

From sign-up to a live, learning desk — in an afternoon.

Five steps. No engineering team required. Here's the whole path from an empty workspace to an AI that's answering customers and learning from your team.

Create your workspace Browse the docs

Create your workspace

Sign up at app.coilchat.com with your work email and a workspace name. You'll land in the dashboard as the owner — no credit card needed. Set your bot's name, greeting, and brand color under Settings → Agent whenever you like.

Connect your knowledge

Your AI answers from what you give it. Head to Sources and add one:

  • Website crawl — paste your help-center or docs URLs (one per line, up to 100), or point it at a single URL and let it discover your sitemap.
  • Upload — drop in PDFs, text, or Markdown.
  • Database — sync resolutions from Supabase or Postgres.

CoilChat cleans, chunks, and embeds everything automatically. Watch it index in real time on the Sources page.

Drop the widget on your site

Open Install, copy your snippet, and paste it before </body>. That's the whole integration.

<!-- CoilChat widget --> <script src="https://app.coilchat.com/widget.js" data-api-key="pk_live_your_key"></script>

Theme it light or dark, set the position, launcher label, and starter chips under Settings → Widget. Restrict it to your domains on the Install page.

Tune the AI & safety nets

Under Settings you can shape behaviour without touching code: custom instructions and tone, grounding strictness (how sure it must be before answering), inactivity follow-ups, and an AI fallback so unclaimed chats are never stranded after hours. Pick your model under Model.

Invite your team & go live

Add teammates on the Team page with owner, admin, or agent roles, and group them into departments. They handle escalations live from the Inbox — and every chat they resolve is distilled into knowledge for your review on the Learned page. Approve it, and the AI uses it next time.

That's the loop. The more conversations flow through CoilChat, the more it knows — and the less your team has to repeat itself.

Ready in minutes.
