Hi HN!<p>I recently added an AI bot to my website using a free website plugin called OpenWidget. OpenWidget makes it super simple to integrate OpenAI-powered assistants directly into your site. I trained my assistant on Sveltos' code, docs, and website content, so it can answer technical questions about the platform and help users troubleshoot or explore features.<p>Getting everything up and running was a fun learning experience! While the plugin itself is straightforward, it took some trial and error to craft the right prompt and select the best OpenAI model for the job.<p>You can check it out here: <a href="https://sveltos.projectsveltos.io/" rel="nofollow">https://sveltos.projectsveltos.io/</a> (no signup or barriers to try it). Just open the bot in the bottom-right corner and ask it something! And if you are building your startup software on Kubernetes you might find my sveltos project useful too.<p>What I Learned:
- OpenWidget makes it easy to get started, but tuning the assistant's responses requires some experimentation, especially when you need consistency and avoid hallucinations.<p>Next Steps:
I’m planning to integrate the bot with Wordware.ai, which provides more control over crafting the prompt and verifying the responses before they’re displayed. This would allow me to fine-tune the assistant even further and ensure the quality of answers.<p>If you're curious about using OpenWidget, Wordware.ai, or building assistants with OpenAI, I’d be happy to share what I learned or answer any questions. I’d also love feedback on how the bot could be improved or other features you think might be useful!<p>Thanks for checking it out!
