Quick Start — Go Live in 10 Minutes

4 min read

This guide walks you through going from zero to a live AI chat widget on your website in about ten minutes.

Before you start

  • An email address for your ChatLM account
  • An API key from OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek
  • Ability to edit your website HTML (or WordPress footer)

Step 1 — Create your account

  1. Go to Sign up free (no credit card).
  2. Enter your name, business name, email, and password (min. 8 characters).
  3. After registration you land on the Dashboard.

Step 2 — Configure appearance & AI

  1. Open Appearance: set bot name, welcome message, and brand color.
  2. Open AI Configuration: choose provider, paste your API key, pick a model (e.g. openai/gpt-4o-mini on OpenRouter).
  3. Write a short system prompt describing your business and tone.

Step 3 — Set allowed origins

Under Domain security, add your live URL with https://, for example https://yourdomain.com. Add both www and non-www if needed. For local testing only, you may temporarily use *.

Step 4 — Copy embed code

In the sidebar, copy the script tag and paste it just before </body> on every page where you want the chat bubble.

<script src="https://chatlm.tech/widget/widget.js"
  data-api-key="YOUR_WIDGET_KEY"
  data-base-url="https://chatlm.tech"
  defer></script>

Step 5 — Test

  1. Open your site in a private/incognito window (not logged in as WordPress admin).
  2. Click the chat bubble bottom-right and send a test message.
  3. Optional: enable Telegram notifications for new visitor messages.
