Quick Start Guide

Get Intufind running on your website in under 60 seconds. Choose the method that fits your platform.

Quick Start (Any Website) — Recommended

The fastest way to get started. Paste your website URL and Intufind crawls your site, trains your AI assistant, and gives you a widget embed code — all in under 60 seconds.

Step 1: Sign Up

  1. Create a free account (no credit card required)
  2. You'll land on the onboarding wizard

Step 2: Enter Your Website URL

  1. In the Quick Start section, enter your website URL (e.g., yoursite.com)
  2. Click Train My AI
  3. Watch as Intufind discovers and indexes your pages in real-time

Your AI assistant is trained on your actual website content — pages, posts, products, FAQs, and more.

Step 3: Add the Widget

Once crawling completes, you'll see a success message with your embed code:

<script
  src="https://cdn.intufind.com/chat-loader.js"
  data-publishable-key="if_pk_your_key_here"
  data-workspace-id="your-workspace-id"
  async
></script>

Copy this code and paste it before the closing </body> tag on your website. That's it — your AI assistant is live.

Step 4: Customize (Optional)

After setup, visit your Intufind dashboard to:

  • Customize widget colors and branding
  • Configure suggested prompts
  • Set up live agent handoff

Custom Integration (Script Tag)

Add the Intufind widgets to any website with a single script tag. This works alongside the Quick Start method or as a standalone integration.

Chat Widget

Add this single line before </body>:

<script
  src="https://cdn.intufind.com/chat-loader.js"
  data-publishable-key="if_pk_your_key_here"
  data-workspace-id="your-workspace-id"
  async
></script>

That's it! The chat widget will appear on your site.

Search Widget (Optional)

Want instant ⌘K search? Add the search widget alongside the chat:

<script
  src="https://cdn.intufind.com/search-loader.js"
  data-publishable-key="if_pk_your_key_here"
  data-workspace-id="your-workspace-id"
  async
></script>

Visitors can press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open instant search.

See Search Widget Documentation for full configuration options.

💡
Find your snippet
Go to your Dashboard → Workspaces → Widget tab to find a pre-filled embed snippet with your publishable key and workspace ID.

Configuration Options

For more control, use the config object approach:

<script>
window.intufindConfig = {
  publishableKey: 'if_pk_your_key_here',
  workspaceId: 'your-workspace-id',
  title: 'AI Assistant',
  greeting: 'How can I help you today?',
  widgetPosition: 'bottom-right',
};
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.intufind.com/chat-loader.js" async></script>

Framework-Specific Guides


Indexing Content (API)

For custom integrations, use the Intufind SDK to index your content programmatically:

npm install @intufind/ai-sdk
import { Intufind } from '@intufind/ai-sdk';

const client = new Intufind({
  apiKey: 'if_sk_your_secret_key', // Secret key (server-side only!)
  workspaceId: 'your-workspace-id',
});

// Index a product
await client.products.upsert({
  id: 'prod_123',
  name: 'Example Product',
  content: 'A detailed product description used for semantic search and AI responses.',
  price: 29.99,
  url: 'https://yoursite.com/products/example',
});

// Index content/posts
await client.posts.upsert({
  id: 'post_456',
  title: 'Blog Post Title',
  content: 'Full post content here — the more detail, the better the AI responses.',
  url: 'https://yoursite.com/blog/post',
});

See the JavaScript SDK documentation for all available methods and types.

Note: Use your Secret Key (if_sk_) for server-side indexing. Never expose it in client-side code. The Publishable Key (if_pk_) is safe for the widget.


Verify It's Working

After setup, test your integration:

  1. Open your website in a new incognito/private window
  2. Click the chat widget in the bottom corner
  3. Ask a question about your products or content
  4. Verify the response references your actual content
