Quick Start Guide
Welcome to Nviti.ng! You're about to launch an AI assistant that will transform how you handle customer support. This isn't just another chatbot - it's a smart assistant that learns from your business and provides genuine help to your customers 24/7.
Our Onboarding Wizard makes getting started incredibly simple. In just 10-15 minutes, you'll have a working AI assistant ready to help your customers.
For a detailed explanation of the account creation and signup process, please see our Account Setup guide.
Four Steps to AI-Powered Customer Support
The onboarding wizard walks you through everything needed to launch your AI assistant. Each step builds on the previous one, so you'll understand exactly how everything works together.
Step 1: Set Up Your Business Workspace
Think of this as creating your AI assistant's "office" - a dedicated space where all your customer conversations will be managed.
What You'll Enter:
- Company Name: This appears in conversations and emails
- Business Email: Where important updates and notifications go
- Website: Helps the AI understand your business context
- Subdomain: Your custom URL like
yourcompany.nviti.ng
(choose wisely - this becomes your permanent workspace address)
Pro tip: Pick a subdomain that's short and professional - you might share this URL with team members or customers.
Step 2: Train Your AI Assistant (The Most Important Step!)
This is where you teach your AI how to represent your business. Take your time here - it makes all the difference.
Give Your Assistant Personality:
- Name: Choose something that fits your brand (could be your business name, or something friendly like "Alex" or "Support Bot")
- Conversation Tone: Friendly for casual businesses, Professional for B2B, or Custom for your unique voice
Company Instructions (This is crucial!): Write clear guidelines like:
- "Always be helpful and patient with customers"
- "If you don't know something, say so and offer to connect them with a human"
- "Our return policy is 30 days, no questions asked"
- "We're a family business that's been serving customers since 2010"
Think of it like training a new employee - the more specific you are, the better they'll represent your business.
Step 3: Choose Your First Channel
Your AI assistant needs a way to talk to customers. We recommend starting with the website chat widget - it's the easiest to set up and works immediately.
Website Chat Widget Setup:
- Pick your colors: Match your website's theme
- Write a welcome message: Something like "Hi! How can I help you today?"
- Position and style: Choose where it appears on your site
You'll get a simple embed code to paste into your website - no technical skills required!
Step 4: Feed Your AI's Brain
Your assistant is only as smart as the information you give it. Start with the basics and build from there.
Quick Knowledge Sources:
- Paste URLs: Your FAQ page, product descriptions, or help documentation
- Upload files: PDFs, Word documents, or text files with important business information
What to include first:
- Basic company information
- Common customer questions and answers
- Product or service details
- Contact information and business hours
- Return/refund policies

Watch Your AI in Action
Head to the Chat Zone to see real conversations as they happen. This is exciting - you're watching your AI assistant help real customers!
What to look for in those first conversations:
- Is your AI giving helpful, accurate answers?
- Are there questions it can't answer yet?
- Does the tone match what you want for your business?
- Are customers getting stuck anywhere?
Make Your Assistant Smarter Every Day
Your AI assistant learns from the knowledge you provide. The more you add, the better it gets.
Quick wins for better AI performance:
- Add more knowledge: Every support email you get is potential knowledge base content
- Refine instructions: Update your assistant's behavior based on real conversations
- Fill knowledge gaps: If customers ask questions your AI can't answer, add that information
- Monitor and adjust: Check the Chat Zone regularly to see how things are going
Growing Beyond the Basics
Once your website chat is working well:
- Connect WhatsApp: Bring your AI to where your customers already are
- Add team members: Let others access the Chat Zone to handle complex issues
- Explore analytics: Understand your customers better through conversation data
- Set up automations: Create smart workflows that save even more time
