Hey Pedro! I can definitely help you out.
If you want to add a chatbot with AI to your website, there are a couple of good ways to do it depending on how much coding you want to deal with:
Easiest option – use a chatbot platform:
Tools like Tidio, Landbot, Crisp, or ChatBot.com let you add a chat widget to your site super easily—usually just by pasting a small code snippet. Some of them even let you connect to ChatGPT or similar AI so it can answer questions, help users find stuff, or request quotes.
More custom – build your own with OpenAI:
If you’re comfortable with a bit of coding, you can create your own chatbot using HTML/JavaScript for the frontend and something like Node.js or Python on the backend. You’d just send user messages to the OpenAI API (like GPT-4), get a response, and show it in the chat box.
It takes a bit more work, but you get way more control over how it works.
Hope it helps you!!
Thanks for the recommendations! :D
Its a very clear suggestions given, but if you want a very simple approach, you can use Vercel AI SDK with Next JS, there’s even a template for it and you can even go further by using tool calling etc. It is very easy to setup, just go to Vercel AI SDK docs
Honestly, I would first think hard about if it is really a good idea, and whether it is actually appropriate for the site. Most of all the chatbots that I've come across on websites offer little of value, and are no replacement for a well designed, thought through website. They usually offer just a more cumbersome, irritating way to get simple things done on sites - and seem to have been added just because the company thinks it is a cool thing to do, or want to save money on customer support at the expense of customer satisfaction.
Yes you can even I have done it in one of my project using gradio server
To add a chat interface with an AI assistant to your website using Gradio, you'll need to:
Define the chatbot logic (using a model like OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo, or your own).
Use Gradio's ChatInterface to create the frontend.
Deploy it (locally, or host it with something like Hugging Face Spaces or on your own server).
Embed it into your website.
