6. Assign the data source to your bot
7. Go to your bot's Settings → Widget tab

Data Sources Overview

Data sources are the knowledge base for your AI assistants. You can add multiple data sources and assign them to different bots.

Website Crawling

Crawl your website to automatically build a knowledge base from your existing content.

Crawl Modes

Document Upload

Upload documents to train your assistant with specific content like manuals, guides, or FAQs.

Supported Formats

• PDF (.pdf)
• Word (.doc, .docx)
• Excel (.xls, .xlsx)
• PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx)
• Plain text (.txt)

After uploading, you can edit the extracted text directly in the dashboard to correct any OCR errors or remove unwanted content.

Manual Training

Create high-priority Q&A pairs by reviewing chat conversations. These have 3x priority over regular content.

How to Add Manual Training

1. Go to Chat History in the dashboard
2. Find a conversation with a good Q&A exchange
3. Click "Add to Training" on the message
4. Edit the question and answer as needed
5. Save to add it to your knowledge base

You can view and manage all manual training data from the Data Sources page by clicking on the manual training data source.

Bot Settings

Configure your bot's behavior in the Settings page. Key options include:

Product Search

Enable real-time product search to let your bot find and display products from your website.

AI Settings

Choose your AI provider and model to power your assistant.

AI Providers

Knowledge Instructions

Found under Advanced Settings, you can provide specific instructions for how the AI should use retrieved knowledge. For example:

Use only the retrieved context. Do not guess or use outside knowledge.
If the answer is not in the context, say "I don't have information about that."

Fallback Behavior

Configure how your bot handles situations where it can't find relevant information.

Embedding the Widget

Add the Taros chat widget to your website in two simple steps.

<script data-bot="YOUR_BOT_ID" data-mode="bubble" src="https://widgets.taros.ai/widget.js"></script>

Widget Customization

Customize the widget appearance to match your brand.

All customization options are available in the Widget Customizer tab of your bot's settings page.

API Authentication

Use API keys to authenticate requests to your bot programmatically.

Using the API Key
