# Quickstart

> Create your first chatbot, train it on your website, and put it live in about ten minutes.

This guide takes you from a new account to a working chatbot on your website.
No code is needed until the final step, and that step is one copy-paste.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Sign up at [sitegpt.ai](https://sitegpt.ai). SiteGPT uses email links to
    sign in, so there is no password to manage. Every plan starts with a free
    trial. See [plans and pricing](https://sitegpt.ai/pricing) for what each
    plan includes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a chatbot">
    On the **Chatbots** page, select **Create New Chatbot**. Give it a name
    your team will recognize. You can change everything about it later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Train it on your website">
    The fastest way to add knowledge is to point the chatbot at your website:

    1. In your chatbot's sidebar, open **Website Links**.
    2. Choose **Scrape Website** and enter your site's URL, or choose
       **Add from Sitemap** if you have a `sitemap.xml`.
    3. Start the import. Pages appear in **Links List** with live status
       badges: **Trained**, **Pending**, or **Failed**.

    You do not need to wait on this screen. Training continues in the
    background, and the list updates in real time as pages finish.

    <Tip>
      You can also upload files, connect Notion or Google Drive, paste text, and
      write exact Q\&A answers. See [Add your content](/docs/content/overview) for
      every option.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test it">
    Open **Dashboard** in your chatbot's sidebar and use the chat preview to
    ask real questions your visitors would ask. Answers include source links
    so you can check where each answer came from.

    If an answer is wrong or missing, the fix is usually one of these:

    * Add the missing page or file to your content.
    * Add a [Custom Response](/docs/features/custom-responses) for that exact
      question. Custom responses take priority over generated answers.
    * Adjust the [instructions](/docs/features/chatbot-instructions-personas) to
      change tone or behavior.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Put it on your site">
    Open **Installation** in the sidebar and copy the script snippet into your
    site's HTML. It looks like this:

    ```html theme={null}
    <script type="text/javascript">
      window.$sitegpt = [];
      (function () {
        d = document;
        s = d.createElement('script');
        s.src = 'https://sitegpt.ai/widget/YOUR_CHATBOT_ID.js';
        s.async = 1;
        d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);
      })();
    </script>
    ```

    Using WordPress? Install the official SiteGPT plugin instead and paste
    only your chatbot ID. Platform-specific steps for WordPress, Shopify,
    Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow are in
    [Install on your website](/docs/setup/integrating-with-your-website).
  </Step>
