# Embed a Chat Widget

The Chat Widget is the planned way to put an employee on your public website. Visitors will be able to ask questions in a small embedded chat surface while the employee follows the skills, tools, and duties you configure.

## TL;DR

The widget will embed an employee on your website so visitors can chat with it directly. It is on the roadmap and cannot be enabled yet. Once it ships, you will manage it from Settings > Technical > Channels.

## How It Works

```

The plan is for the widget to send visitor messages to the employee you assign and render replies in place, using the same knowledge, skills, and tools as web chat, with tenant isolation between workspaces.

## What It Can Do

Not applicable yet. The channel has no working implementation today, only a placeholder entry in Settings > Technical > Channels.

## How to Set It Up

Setup is not available yet. Open **Settings > Technical > Channels** and you will see **Chat Widget** listed with a **Coming soon** badge. There is no configuration, embed snippet, or Manage action to use today.

## Tips & Tricks

While you wait, prepare a concise public-facing employee persona and review its guardrails and duties, since a public website channel needs tighter escalation rules than internal chat.

## Good to Know

The card stays a compact **Coming soon** placeholder in Settings > Technical > Channels until the channel actually ships. No visitor traffic reaches any employee through this channel while it is unavailable.
