How to use

1. Prepare Sendbird Application ID and Bot ID. Here's how you can get them:

   • Application ID: If you don't have an account, sign up on the Sendbird Dashboard and create a new application.

   • Bot ID: If you don't have a bot, create one on the Sendbird Dashboard under AI Chatbot > Manage Bots > Create Bot.

   • You can also find your application ID and bot ID in the Sendbird Dashboard under AI Chatbot > Manage Bots > Bot Settings > Add to My Website.

2. Install the library:

   # With npm
   npm install @sendbird/chat-ai-widget
   # Or if you're using yarn
   yarn add @sendbird/chat-ai-widget

3. Add the import statement and component to your code:

    import { ChatAiWidget } from "@sendbird/chat-ai-widget";
    import "@sendbird/chat-ai-widget/dist/style.css";
   
    const App = () => {
      return (
        <ChatAiWidget
          applicationId="AE8F7EEA-4555-4F86-AD8B-5E0BD86BFE67" // Your Sendbird Application ID
          botId="khan-academy-bot" // Your Bot ID
        />
      );
    };
   
    export default App;

   Not using React in your environment? You can also load this Chat AI Widget component from an HTML file on your website. Please refer to js-example.html for an example.

Run locally

yarn install:deps
yarn dev

• If you want to change applicationId and botId when running locally, modify the following variables in .env:

  # Vite prefix is required for Vite to load the env variables
  # Plz modify below two env variables on your needs
  VITE_CHAT_WIDGET_APP_ID=AE8F7EEA-4555-4F86-AD8B-5E0BD86BFE67
  VITE_CHAT_WIDGET_BOT_ID=khan-academy-bot
