Setup
How do I set up Chatref for communication tools?
To set up Chatref for your communication tools, start by uploading your support content (help docs, FAQs, guides) so the AI chatbot can answer accurately. Then embed the website widget into your tool’s interface, configure custom actions to handle common requests, and review insights to continuously sharpen your customer support.
Add your communication content
Chatref works by grounding every answer in your own material. Gather the help articles, product guides, FAQs, and changelogs your support team already uses. Upload them as PDFs, plain text, URLs, or even full sitemaps directly in the Chatref app. The AI chatbot will learn your product language and resolve questions without guessing, making each response feel native to your communication tools.
Embed the widget in your tools
Once your content is loaded, grab the single snippet from your Chatref dashboard and paste it into the web interface where customers ask for help. This could be your help center, a customer portal, or any internal communication tool with a web view. The widget is origin-allowlisted, so it works only where you intend, and it delivers the same grounded answers whether users are on desktop or mobile.
Build custom actions for self-service
Take your Chatref agent beyond simple replies. In the app, you can define custom actions that collect details or trigger steps in your existing tools right inside the conversation. For example, an action might gather an account ID and open a ticket in your internal ticketing system, or confirm a subscription tier and route the chat accordingly. This lets you resolve routine customer support tasks without pulling agents away from their work.
Refine conversations with insights
Chatref automatically ingests every chat session and pulls out what users are asking most. Use the insights dashboard to spot trending questions, gaps in your documentation, or feature requests hiding in those conversations. A regular digest email summarizes the top themes, so you know exactly where to improve your content or which custom actions to add next. Over time, your communication tools become self-improving.

How to customize Chatref for my brand’s voice?
Chatref’s answers are grounded in your own documentation, so the AI chatbot naturally adopts the terminology, tone, and style you use in your help articles and guides. To reinforce your brand voice, make sure your uploaded content uses the exact language, phrasing, and level of formality you want the bot to mimic. Because there is no separate voice-tuning feature, the most effective path is feeding the model content that already sounds like your team.
What content do I need to prepare for Chatref?
Prepare any material that your support team currently uses to answer customer questions: help center articles, product documentation, onboarding guides, knowledge base entries, changelogs, and FAQ pages. Chatref accepts PDFs, plain text, URLs, and sitemaps. The more complete and well-structured your content, the more precise and helpful the AI chatbot will be in real customer support conversations.
