Enter your website's link: Zolai reads up to 50 pages, suggests an agent name, common questions and contact details, and you review them and try your agent.

The fastest way to build your agent: give Zolai your website's link. We read the pages, suggest a name for your agent and the questions your visitors ask most, and you review the suggestions and try the agent straight away.

Who can do this: members who can create agents and add knowledge.

Short video of the whole first run: entering the website link, reading the pages, reviewing the suggestions and opening Try it
  1. Click New agent in the sidebar. (If you're creating your account now, the last setup step takes you to the same place.)

  2. Under Start from your website, type your link in Your website, for example yourstore.com.

  3. Click Continue.

The "Start from your website" form with "Your website" filled in as demo.zolai.io and the Continue button

The agent is created right away, named after your site for now. Your site's domain goes into Allowed sites, so the chat only works there, and the whole site is queued to be read.

No website? Click I don't have a website, enter the Agent name, pick the Reply language and click Create agent. You land on the agent's Files, where you upload what it should learn from.

Step 2: We read your website

The page shows two steps:

  • Read your website: we go through your pages, up to 50, and show how many we've read.

  • Prepare suggestions: we suggest a name and questions from your site's content.

This usually takes a minute or two. You can leave and come back later, or click Skip and try your agent if you'd rather not wait.

The "Review your agent" step with the agent name, reply language, business name, suggested questions, and checkboxes for the contact details found on the site

Contact details you leave unticked aren't lost: they wait in Knowledge → Business info under Found on your website, to add later. Nothing you wrote yourself is ever changed.

If something fails

The page says exactly what happened: we couldn't read the site, didn't find enough text, the AI service didn't answer, or it took too long.

  • If the site couldn't be read, click Read the site again. First check that the site works and its pages are public.

  • If the suggestions failed, click Try again.

  • Or fill in the form yourself and continue. You can change everything later.
