B. Getting Started
Quickstart
Two ways to launch your website representative: an automated setup from your URL, or the manual path where you configure each part yourself.

This guide gets your representative ready for real visitors. You do not need technical or AI experience.
Two ways to start
Instant Onboarding (fastest). Enter your website address and Privas AI sets up a workspace, loads your content, drafts a persona, and gives you a preview link. Most people start here. See Instant Onboarding.
Manual setup (full control). Create the domain and configure each part yourself. Use this when you want to shape identity, behaviour, and knowledge from the beginning. The steps below cover this path.
Manual setup overview
- Create a domain workspace
- Configure the representative's identity
- Define communication behaviour
- Add knowledge sources
- Share it privately for review
- Test the representative
- Install the website widget
Each step teaches the representative to communicate correctly about your business. Prepare basic information about your business, and access to your website (or someone who manages it) for the widget install later.
What happens after setup
A chat widget can be placed on your website, visitors can ask questions about your product or service, and the representative answers using the information you provided. Your website gains a consistent representative that does not guess and does not invent information outside your content.
Review before you publish
Review and test the representative before installing it on your public website. This prevents incorrect or confusing responses from reaching real visitors.
