Overview

AI Chatbot from Elfsight adds an automated assistant to a Squarespace site that answers visitor questions using your own content. In Elfsight's editor you point it at your website, upload documents such as PDFs, Word files or plain text, or type question-and-answer pairs, and the chatbot builds a knowledge base from them. It can then respond around the clock, show action buttons that send people to key pages, collect a lead's details through a form, and hand over to a human channel such as email or WhatsApp when it reaches its limits. It is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform, shown as a floating bubble, a floating input bar or an embedded chat window.

Who it suits

Service businesses and shops that field the same questions repeatedly about opening hours, pricing, shipping or how a service works, and anyone who wants first-line answers outside working hours without staffing a live chat. Elfsight offers a free plan that includes core features and a knowledge storage allowance.

One honest caveat

The chatbot is only as accurate as the content you feed it. Where a question falls outside your knowledge base it may answer from general model knowledge or say it does not know, so test it with awkward questions before going live and review conversations regularly. Free-tier widgets carry Elfsight branding and usage limits, and the widget depends on Elfsight's servers rather than living in your Squarespace site.

Installation

Build and train the chatbot in Elfsight's editor, copy the embed code and paste it into Squarespace footer code injection so it appears site-wide, or into a code block on a single page.

FAQs

FAQs

What does the Elfsight AI Chatbot do on a Squarespace site?
It answers visitor questions automatically using a knowledge base built from your website content and uploaded files. It can also show action buttons, collect leads through a form and hand over to a human contact channel.
How do I train it on my own content?
In Elfsight's editor you can let it read your website, upload files such as PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown, or add manual text and question-and-answer entries to the knowledge base.
What happens when it does not know the answer?
If a question is not covered by your content, the chatbot may answer from general model knowledge or say it lacks the information. Testing it with unusual questions before launch is sensible.
Is it native Squarespace code?
No. It is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform. You configure it in Elfsight's editor and paste an embed code into Squarespace.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Elfsight offers a free plan with core chatbot features and a knowledge storage allowance. Free widgets carry Elfsight branding and usage limits that paid plans lift.
Can I change how it looks and where it appears?
Yes. You can show it as a floating bubble, a floating input bar or an embedded chat window, and adjust colours, position and text in the editor. Custom CSS is available for finer control.
