HandovarAdding an AI chatbot to your website used to mean developers, budgets, and weeks of setup. It doesn't anymore. This guide shows you how to add one in minutes — one that actually knows your business and can pass a customer to a real person when needed.
Why add an AI chatbot at all?
Most visitors leave a site with a question unanswered. An AI chatbot answers instantly, any hour, in the visitor's own words — turning "I'll check later" into a sale or a booking. The good ones do three things well:
- Answer from your content, not generic web knowledge
- Hand off to a human when the question needs one
- Install anywhere without custom code
Step 1: Teach the bot your business
Point the bot at your website or paste in your key documents. A modern chatbot reads your pages and answers from them, citing the exact page — so replies are accurate, not made up.
Step 2: Style it and give it a name
Pick a name, an avatar, and a color that match your brand. This small step makes the bot feel like part of your team instead of a bolt-on.
Step 3: Add one line of code
The best tools give you a single script tag to paste before your site's closing </body> tag — or a plugin for platforms like WordPress. That's the whole install. On Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or Webflow, it's a paste into your theme or custom-code area.
Step 4: Let it hand off to a human
An AI is great until it isn't. The moment that matters — a complex question, an upset customer, a high-value deal — the chat should hand off to a live agent with the full conversation, so nothing is lost. This "handover" is the difference between a toy and a real support tool.
That's it
Teach it, style it, embed it. With Handovar, you can do all of this for free and be live on your site today — and connect WhatsApp later so the same bot answers there too.
