Chatbot Standard Widget

The Standard Widget provides a customizable chat interface on your web page.

Quick Start

Here's the minimum code required to implement the Standard Widget:

<script type="module">
  import Agent from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@agent-embed/js@latest/dist/web.js'
  Agent.initStandard({
    agentName: "your assistant name", //generated on the predictable dialogs app
  });
</script>
<agent-standard style="width: 100%; height: 600px; "></agent-standard>

Properties

Required Properties

Property	Type	Description
agentName	string	Specifies the agent name from Predictable Dialogs or your custom backend. This identifies which AI agent will process the conversations.

Optional Properties

Property	Type	Description
stream	boolean	Default is true. A flag that indicates whether messages should be streamed.
persistSession	boolean	Default is false. A flag that indicates whether the seession persists, if set to false a new session is started every time the chatbot loads. (Read more)
initialPrompt	string	Message sent to the agent when the chat first loads. Only used when initial response is disabled on the server. If server-side initial response is enabled, this property is ignored.
filterResponse	function	A callback function that processes the AI's responses before displaying them. Takes the original response string as input and should return the modified response string. Useful for removing citations or formatting responses (see example).
apiHost	string	Endpoint URL that connects to the backend. Can be configured to use your own backend if needed.

Styling Options

Internal Elements Styling

To customize the internal elements of the widget (chat bubbles, input field, buttons, etc.), use the Theme tab in the Predictable Dialogs application.

External Styling

You can style the widget container using standard CSS properties:

<agent-standard style="width: 500px; height: 700px; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);"></agent-standard>

Advanced Configuration Example

Agent.initStandard({
  agentName: "customer_support",
  filterResponse: function(response) {
    const citationRegex = /【\d+:\d+†[^【】]+】/g;
    return response.replace(citationRegex, "");
  }
});

Best Practices

• Use initialPrompt to create a welcoming experience when server-side initial responses are disabled.
• Implement filterResponse to clean up AI responses when necessary, such as removing citations.
• Apply external styling for consistency with your website's design.
• Configure internal styling through the Predictable Dialogs app for cohesive chat interfaces.
