EXT:ns_t3ac

Extension Banner AI Chatbot adds a chat window to your website. Visitors ask questions in their own words and get answers from your own website content, any time of day. Use it to answer common visitor questions automatically, for example about products, opening hours, services or support topics.

Key Features

  • Answers from your content – the chatbot only uses the pages, PDFs and texts you choose.
  • Your look – your logo, colours, welcome text and position on the screen.
  • Quick replies – up to 5 buttons with prepared answers under the welcome message (no AI needed).
  • Source links – links to the pages an answer came from.
  • Many languages – chatbot texts for each website language.
  • Feedback and statistics – see what visitors asked and how they rated the answers.

Everything AI Chatbot can do, and where to read more. In the TYPO3 backend you find AI Chatbot under AI Universe → AI Chatbot/Search. Add and train your content
  • Data sources – choose the content the chatbot learns from (Sitemap XML, PDF Documents, TYPO3 Pages, Web Pages, Q&A Pairs, Text and, if installed, Indexed Search, ke_search or Solr).
  • Source groups – choose which content is used on which page.
  • Training and Scheduler – the chatbot learns your content automatically in the background.
  • Training Center – see what was learned and fix failed items.
  • Dashboard – everything at a glance. Run All starts the training.
Set up the chatbot Measure and control
AI Chatbot and AI Search share the same backend module. Dashboard, Data Source, Training Center and Usage Analytics are shared, so content you train once is used by both. The connection to your AI provider is set up in AI Foundation.
