Quickstart

Three steps to a live chat widget on your site.

Create a bot

Sign in to the dashboard
Click Bots → New bot
Give it a name and save

Add knowledge

Open Knowledge
Paste a URL or text content
Save to train your bot

Install widget

Copy the snippet below
Paste before </body>
Reload your site

Minimal install

<script
  src="https://app.aeye.lk/widget.js"
  data-bot-id="YOUR_BOT_ID"
></script>

Replace YOUR_BOT_ID with the ID shown on your bot's detail page in the dashboard.

Install on WordPress

The easiest way is our official plugin: it adds the chat widget and auto-imports your AI blog posts, all from one settings page. Prefer to do it by hand? The snippet options are below.

aEye for WordPress plugin

Chat widget + automatic blog import, configured from one settings page. No code required.

Download plugin (.zip)

Option A: aEye plugin (easiest)

Download aeye-for-wordpress.zip using the button above.
In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
Choose the zip, click Install Now, then Activate.
Open Settings → aEye. Tick "Enable chat widget" and paste your Bot ID. Save.
To auto-publish blog posts, see the Blog Post Automation guide.

Option B: Header & Footer plugin

Install the free plugin WPCode or Insert Headers and Footers from the WordPress plugin directory.
Open the plugin's settings, find the "Footer" or "Before </body>" box.
Paste the widget snippet above. Save.
Reload your site. The chat launcher should appear in the bottom-right corner.

Option C: Edit your theme's footer directly

Go to Appearance → Theme File Editor.
Open footer.php.
Paste the widget snippet just before the closing </body> tag.
Click Update File.

Note: theme updates can overwrite this file. Option A is safer in the long run.

Option D: functions.php hook (for developers)

functions.php

<?php
// Append to your theme's functions.php
add_action('wp_footer', function() { ?>
  <script
    src="<?php echo esc_url('https://app.aeye.lk/widget.js'); ?>"
    data-bot-id="YOUR_BOT_ID"
  ></script>

Widget customization

Configure the widget by adding data attributes to the script tag.

Customized install

<script
  src="https://app.aeye.lk/widget.js"
  data-bot-id="YOUR_BOT_ID"
  data-color="#7c3aed"
  data-position="right"
  data-title="Chat with us"
  data-greeting="Hi! How can I help today?"
></script>

Attribute	Default	Description
data-bot-id	(required)	The bot ID from your dashboard.
data-color	#7c3aed	Primary color for the launcher and user messages.
data-position	right	"right" or "left" corner of the screen.
data-title	Chat with us	Title shown in the panel header.
data-greeting	Hi! How can I help you today?	First bot message when the panel opens.
data-base-url	(auto-detected)	Override the API base URL. Useful for self-hosted setups.

Chat API

Send messages directly from your own app, mobile client, or backend. The same endpoint the widget uses.

POST/api/chat/widget

Auth: none. Only the botId is required. The bot's owner is identified server-side and their Claude key is used to generate the reply. Keep your botId reasonably private (anyone with it can chat against your bot using your token quota).

Request

curl -X POST https://app.aeye.lk/api/chat/widget \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "botId": "YOUR_BOT_ID",
    "message": "What are your business hours?",
    "sessionId": "optional-session-id"
  }'

Response

{
  "reply": "We're open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.",
  "sessionId": "widget-abc123-xyz"
}

Pass the returned sessionId back in the next request to keep the same conversation thread. Omit it to start a fresh conversation.
