    • Application ID: If you don't have an account, sign up on the Sendbird Dashboard and create a new application. sendbird-app-id

    • Bot ID: If you don't have a bot, create one on the Sendbird Dashboard under AI Chatbot > Manage Bots > Create Bot. sendbird-ai-chatbot-id

    • You can also find your application ID and bot ID in the Sendbird Dashboard under AI Chatbot > Manage Bots > Bot Settings > Add to My Website.

  2. Install the library:

    # With npm
    npm install @sendbird/chat-ai-widget
    # Or if you're using yarn
    yarn add @sendbird/chat-ai-widget
  3. Add the import statement and component to your code:

     import { ChatAiWidget } from "@sendbird/chat-ai-widget";
     import "@sendbird/chat-ai-widget/dist/style.css";
    
     const App = () => {
       return (
         <ChatAiWidget
           applicationId="AE8F7EEA-4555-4F86-AD8B-5E0BD86BFE67" // Your Sendbird Application ID

         />
       );
     };
    
     export default App;
