Creating Your First Demo

A demo is an AI-powered chatbot page that answers questions about your business based on your website content.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Enter Website URL

  1. Navigate to DashboardCreate Demo (or /dashboard/userdemo)
  2. Enter your business website URL (e.g., https://example.com)
  3. Click Inspect Website

The system will:

  • Analyze your website content
  • Extract business information
  • Generate a knowledge preview
  • Identify your brand colors and logo

Note: This process may take 1-2 minutes depending on your website size.

Step 2: Review Business Information

After inspection, you'll see:

  • Business name (auto-detected or editable)
  • Business summary
  • Knowledge preview sections (project overview, goals, features, etc.)
  • Logo and color scheme

You can edit the business name if needed before proceeding.

Step 3: Configure Demo Settings

  1. Business Name: Verify or update the business name
  2. Logo URL (optional): Provide a direct image URL for your logo
  3. Primary Color (optional): Hex color code (e.g., #7ee787)
  4. Secondary Color (optional): Hex color code (e.g., #f4a261)

Step 4: Provide Contact Information

Enter contact details that will be associated with this demo:

  • Consent: Check the box to confirm data processing consent. Note: Contact information is pre-filled from your account if available.

Step 5: Create Demo

Click Create Demo to start the creation process. This will:

  1. Generate a knowledge base from your website
  2. Create a system message template for the AI
  3. Set up a inbox for customer conversations
  4. Create a workflow to process messages
  5. Generate a demo page at /demo/[slug]

Processing Time: Demo creation typically takes 2-5 minutes. You'll see a success message when complete.

Step 6: Access Your Demo

Once created, you'll receive:

  • Demo URL: Public link to your chatbot (e.g., https://voxe.mcp4.ai/demo/your-business-name)
  • System Message File: Link to the generated AI prompt template

You can share the demo URL with your team to test how the chat widget and AI chatbot interact, or embed it directly on your website. The Chat Widget Script becomes instantly available in your dashboard under the Chat Widget Script section once the demo is created.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

When you create a demo, the system:

  1. Scrapes Your Website: Extracts text content, structure, and metadata
  2. Generates Knowledge Base: Uses AI to create structured knowledge from your content
  3. Creates System Message: Combines your business knowledge with AI instructions
  4. Sets Up Helpdesk: Creates an inbox for managing conversations
  5. Creates Workflow: Configures workflow to process messages
  6. Generates Demo Page: Creates a public-facing chatbot interface

Tier Limits

  • FREE: 1 chatbot
  • STARTER: 2 chatbot
  • TEAM: 5 chatbot
  • BUSINESS: 25 chatbot
  • ENTERPRISE: Unlimited chatbot

If you reach your limit, you'll see an upgrade prompt when trying to create additional demos.


Managing Knowledge Bases

Knowledge bases store documents that provide context to your AI chatbot, enabling it to answer questions accurately.

Creating a Knowledge Base

  1. Navigate to DashboardKnowledge Bases
  2. Click Create Knowledge Base
  3. Enter:

  2. Click Upload Document
  3. Select a file (PDF, DOCX, TXT, or other supported formats)
  4. Wait for processing to complete

Supported Formats: PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, MD, and more

Document Processing

After upload, documents are automatically:

  1. Extracted: Text is extracted from the file
  2. Chunked: Content is split into manageable pieces
  3. Embedded: Each chunk is converted to a vector embedding
  4. Indexed: Stored for semantic search

Processing Status:

  • PENDING: Uploaded, waiting for processing
  • PROCESSING: Currently being processed
  • COMPLETED: Ready to use

Configuring Workflows

Workflows are the automation engines that process customer messages and generate AI responses.

Understanding Workflow Status

  • ACTIVE: Workflow is running and processing messages

Model Selection Considerations:

Configuring Timing Thresholds

Based on the complexity of the question and the customer’s needs, the AI support agent can escalate a conversation to your human team when required. Timing thresholds control when the Holding AI steps in — sending friendly follow-up messages if a team member takes too long to respond, so customers stay engaged and never feel ignored.

  1. Open your workflow
  2. Go to Timing Thresholds
  3. Configure:
    • Assignee Threshold: Seconds to wait after human response when assigned to agent (default: 300 seconds / 5 minutes)
