What is the Widget?

The embeddable widget that connects your users to Chatbyte agents.

The Widget is the embeddable support experience that brings your Chatbyte agent into your product. It runs in your UI, connects to a published agent, and gives you frontend controls like open(), close(), and identify().

When to use the Widget

  • You want an in‑app assistant for your users.
  • You need a branded chat surface with your agent’s knowledge.
  • You want to identify logged‑in users with JWTs.

What the Widget does

  • Loads a published agent by ID.
  • Displays the widget UI on your site.
  • Lets you control behavior from your frontend.

What the Widget doesn’t do

  • It doesn’t replace your agent configuration.
  • It doesn’t manage authentication for you (you still sign JWTs server‑side).
