The Problem

Traditional support channels create friction:
  • Live chat requires staffing and has limited hours
  • Ticket systems are slow and impersonal
  • Knowledge bases require users to search for answers
  • Users abandon when they can’t get immediate help

The Solution

Deploy the BoostGPT chat widget as an always-on AI support agent that answers instantly, 24/7, trained on your product knowledge.

Implementation

Step 1: Train Your Agent

Before deploying the widget, train your agent on your support content:
  1. Go to Memory in your agent dashboard
  2. Upload your knowledge base:
    • Product documentation
    • FAQ pages
    • Pricing information
    • Policies (shipping, returns, refunds)
    • Common troubleshooting guides
Start with your top 20 most-asked support questions. You can always add more content later.

Step 2: Configure Agent Instructions

Set up your agent’s system instruction to handle support conversations:

Step 3: Install the Widget

Add one line to your website:

Step 4: Configure Greeting Messages

Set up welcoming greetings in Branding → Content → Message Greetings:
These appear as stacked cards above the bubble, inviting users to start a conversation. If your site has user authentication, connect SSO to identify users:
Benefits:
  • Agent greets users by name
  • Conversation history persists across sessions
  • Support team can identify who needs help

Step 6: Add Proactive Triggers

Combine the widget with triggers to proactively offer help at friction points:

Widget vs Triggers — When to Use Each

The widget and triggers work together — the bubble is always available, and triggers add contextual messages when they detect friction.

Measuring Success

Track these metrics to evaluate your support widget:

Optimization Tips

Check the Conversations tab to find:
  • Questions the agent couldn’t answer (gaps in knowledge)
  • Incorrect or confusing responses (needs instruction refinement)
  • Common topics (may need dedicated documentation)
Start small, then add content based on real conversations:
  1. Launch with core FAQ content
  2. Review unanswered questions after 1 week
  3. Add missing content to memory
  4. Repeat monthly
Enable web access so your agent can fetch live data:
  • Current status page information
  • Latest pricing from your website
  • Product changelog and release notes
Not everything should be handled by AI. Configure clear escalation:
