Before you start
- A Kelu account. Sign up at app.kelu.dev.
- A public docs URL, such as
https://docs.example.com.
Create a knowledge base
The first time you sign in, setup asks a few questions and then creates your first knowledge base. Give it a name and leave the type on External, so it can be published. If you click Skip for now on a question, setup ends and no knowledge base is made. Make it, and any later ones, from Knowledge Bases → New Knowledge Base.If you typed your docs URL in the Ask AI for box on the Kelu website, setup skips the questions. It creates an external knowledge base named after the site’s host name (
docs.example.com becomes Example) and adds that URL as its first website source, so you can skip the next step. If your workspace already has a knowledge base, or you belong to more than one workspace, setup asks Add Example to …? instead. Pick the workspace if it asks, then click Add, or Cancel to drop the URL.Add your docs
Open the knowledge base. On the Sources tab, click Add source and pick Website. Enter the Start URL and click Find pages to preview which pages will be indexed, then click through to Add source. The first crawl starts right away. See Website crawling for the options.
Ask a question
When the crawl finishes, open the Playground tab and ask something your docs answer. The answer streams in with numbered citations that link to the pages it used.
Put the widget on your site
Kelu made a widget for you, named after your knowledge base, when you created the knowledge base. Open it under Integrations → Website widget. On its Install tab, pick where your site is built and follow the steps. The code looks like this:Check Sites it works on on the same tab, so the widget only loads on your site. The widget quickstart has every step, and the platform guides cover Mintlify, Docusaurus, Next.js and more.
Integrations are managed by workspace owners and admins. On the Free plan you can add Website, File Upload, Custom Answers, OpenAPI Spec and YouTube sources. See Billing & Plans.
