# Quickstart: Live Agent in 10 Minutes

> Go from zero to a working AI agent answering real visitors on your website — create, test, publish, and install in about 10 minutes.

By the end of this guide you will have an AI Chat Agent **live on your website**, trained on your own content, answering a real visitor question that you can watch arrive in your Inbox.

You don't need to write any code beyond pasting one snippet, and you don't need to prepare any content — Revve builds the first version of the agent from your website automatically.

<Info>
  **What you need:** a Revve account and the URL of your website. That's it.
</Info>

## Step 1: Create an agent from your website

From the left sidebar, go to **Agents > Chat Agents** and click **+ New Chat Agent** in the top-right corner. Choose **Auto-Create from Website**, enter your website URL, and click **Create Chatbot**.

Revve now does the heavy lifting for you:

1. Crawls your website and extracts its content.
2. Writes the agent's instructions based on what your business does.
3. Builds a knowledge base from your web pages, so answers come from *your* content.
4. Generates conversation starters relevant to your visitors.

This takes a minute or two. When it finishes, you land on your new agent's page.

## Step 2: Talk to your agent

Open the **Preview** tab. You get a live, fully working copy of your chat widget — same knowledge, same behavior as the real thing.

Ask it the questions your customers actually ask:

* A question your website answers — it should respond from your content.
* A question your website *doesn't* answer — it should decline gracefully rather than invent something.
* Click one of the generated conversation starters and see where it leads.

<Tip>
  If the Preview panel shows feature cards like **Schedule Meeting** or **Contact Collection** marked "Required", those features were enabled but still need a connected app (for example, a calendar). You can ignore them for now or click **Configure** — the agent works without them.
</Tip>

## Step 3: Adjust the basics (optional)

If an answer felt off, click **Start Editing**, open the **Basic** tab, and tune two fields:

* **Role** — who the agent is ("You're the assistant for Acme, a B2B invoicing platform…").
* **Objectives** — what it should do and what it must never do ("Answer product questions. Never quote custom pricing — offer a demo instead.").

Re-test in **Preview** after each change. Small, specific instructions beat long generic ones.

## Step 4: Publish

Changes live in a draft until you publish. Click **Publish** in the top bar (or open the **Versions** tab), add an optional note, and confirm.

Your agent is now live on Revve's side — the last step is putting it on your site.

## Step 5: Install the widget on your website

Open the **Installation** tab and copy the embed snippet (the Preview tab's **Install to my website** button takes you there too). Paste it into your site's HTML just before the closing `</body>` tag, then publish your site:

```html theme={null}
<script>
(function() {
    window.RevveConfig = {
      chatbotId: "your-chatbot-id-here" // pre-filled with your agent's ID
    };

    var embedScript = document.createElement('script');
    embedScript.src = "https://d26hsuee5yd7xd.cloudfront.net/assets/embed.min.js";
    embedScript.setAttribute('data-no-defer', '');
    document.head.appendChild(embedScript);
})();
</script>
```

Using WordPress? There's a dedicated plugin — see [Website Installation](/docs/channel-setup/website-installation) for that path and for advanced options like hiding the launcher.

## Step 6: Watch the first conversation arrive

Visit your website, open the chat bubble, and send a message as a visitor would. Then go to **Inbox** in the Revve sidebar:

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/revve/WApbUs9xFHpGA-B8/screenshots/inbox-overview.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=WApbUs9xFHpGA-B8&q=85&s=a1d82707d778f27a30184d2dc7b57802" alt="Inbox showing live conversations with the AI agent" width="1440" height="900" data-path="screenshots/inbox-overview.png" />

Your conversation is there in real time — every visitor chat will appear here from now on. If the AI ever needs help, you (or your team) can [take over the conversation](/docs/inbox/human-takeover) directly from the Inbox.

**That's it — you're live.** 🎉
