Quick chips
Quick chips are small clickable suggestions visitors can tap instead of typing. They appear above the input when the chat first opens.
Anatomy
Each chip has two fields:
- Label — the text shown on the chip itself (short, ≤30 chars).
- Payload — the message that gets sent when the chip is tapped (longer, descriptive, what the AI sees).
Splitting the two means you can show short eye-friendly labels but send rich queries to the AI.
{ "text": "Pricing", "payload": "Show me the pricing plans and what's included in each."}The visitor sees “Pricing”. The AI receives the full payload.
Auto-generated from crawl
The crawler auto-generates 3–4 chips based on top pages it discovered. Common defaults:
- Tell me about {project / product name}
- Show me your pricing
- How do I get started
Override in Settings → Quick chips anytime. Reordering is drag-and-drop.
When to override
| Crawl-default chip suggestion | Why you’d replace |
|---|---|
| ”Tell me about Agent Shah 3D” | Too project-specific; replace with broader prompts. |
| ”Show me your pricing” | Site doesn’t have a pricing page; remove the chip. |
| ”How do I get started” | Already obvious from your hero CTA; replace with X. |
Curate to whatever 3–4 questions you wish more visitors asked.
Limits
- Up to 5 chips per site.
- Each label ≤ 30 characters (renders one-line in the chip pill).
- Each payload ≤ 280 characters.
Layout-specific behavior
- Bottom-bar — chips appear above the bar, centered, wrap to multiple rows on narrow screens.
- Floating — chips appear above the input inside the chat-window.
- Side-panel — chips appear in the same place as floating (above the input).
Chips hide automatically once the visitor sends their first message — they’re a “first impression” affordance, not a permanent menu.
What gets sent to the widget
{ "quickChips": [ { "text": "Pricing", "payload": "Show me the pricing plans." }, { "text": "Get started", "payload": "How do I install and configure?" }, { "text": "Talk to sales", "payload": "I want to talk to your sales team." } ]}
