From signup to first chat reply

No build step. No npm install. One script tag. Follow these four steps and your AI assistant will be live on your site in about five minutes, end to end.

On a CMS? Jump straight to the platform guide: Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress.

1

Create your workspace

Go to luluclaw.com/sign-up and create an account. Once you confirm your email, LuluDesk drops you straight into the setup wizard — no credit card required for the trial.

The wizard asks for your site's URL and a short description of what your assistant should help visitors with. These seed your first knowledge source and set the assistant's tone.

Tip: You can skip the wizard and configure everything manually from the dashboard if you prefer full control from the start.
2

Add a knowledge source

Open the Sources tab and paste your site URL. LuluDesk will crawl your pages and index the content. You can watch the progress in real time via the LiveCrawlFeed panel — each URL lights up green as it lands in the knowledge base.

Indexing typically finishes in under two minutes for sites up to a few hundred pages. Once the source shows Ready, the assistant will use it to answer questions.

3

Grab your embed snippet

Open the Widget tab in your dashboard. Under Embed snippetyou'll see a script tag with your unique install_token already filled in:

html
<script src="https://luluclaw.com/widget/v1/YOUR_INSTALL_TOKEN" async></script>

The token is already in the URL — you do not need to pass it separately. Keep it private; anyone with the token can embed your widget unless you restrict allowed domains.

4

Paste before </body> and deploy

Open the HTML template for the page (or pages) where you want the widget. Paste the script tag immediately before the closing </body> tag, then deploy.

html
  <!-- your existing content -->

  <script src="https://luluclaw.com/widget/v1/YOUR_INSTALL_TOKEN" async></script>
</body>
</html>

Reload the page. Within a few seconds you'll see a floating chat button in the bottom-right corner. Click it — you're live.

Back in the dashboard, the Widget tab status changes from Pending to Active once LuluDesk detects the first beacon from your page.

What to do next

  • Widget settings — customise the assistant name, welcome message, suggested prompts, and allowed domains.
  • Add more sources — upload PDFs, paste plain text, or connect a sitemap for deeper knowledge.
  • Gateway API — send messages to your assistant over HTTP from your own backend or mobile app.
  • Insights API — read conversations, handoffs, and usage metrics programmatically.
