How to create a new widget​

Easiest way to create a new widget is to use Widget Platform (https://app.widgetplatform.com). Here is how you can do it:

  1. First you need to create a new account on https://app.widgetplatform.com
  2. After you create an account, you will be able to create a new Assistant.
  3. You will need to provide an Assistant ID and OpenAI API key. Both of them you can find in your OpenAI account. Here is how you can find them:
  1. After you create an Assistant, you will get an Widget code to embed on your website.
  2. Put the Widget code on your website. More information about how to do it you can find in Installation section.
  3. On the client zone you can see your analytics.

Is it free?​

Yes. You can use basic Widget Platform for free. That means you don't need to have a server to host app for communication with OpenAI API.

If you want to use more advanced features, you can upgrade to a paid plan. More information about plans you can find on Pricing page. The price is only symbolic to cover costs with running the service.

How can I self-host that?​

You can self-host that because the Widget is an React app. Check repositories https://github.com/widgetplatform/widget and https://github.com/widgetplatform/widget-server.

You can customize the Widget as you want and the Server to meet your needs.

Also, you can modify the Widget but use our Server to communicate with OpenAI API. Check the section How to use WidgetPlatfrom Server.
