Quick Start Guide

Welcome to Orki! This guide will walk you through setting up your first AI agent using a real example: Balloon Bliss, a balloon decoration business.

By the end of this guide, you'll have an AI agent that:

  • Knows your business inside and out
  • Answers customer questions accurately
  • Is live on your website handling real conversations

What We're Building

We'll create an AI assistant for Balloon Bliss, a balloon decoration company. Our agent will:

  • Answer questions about balloon packages and pricing
  • Explain delivery options
  • Handle booking inquiries
  • Provide information about custom designs

Let's get started!


Step 1: Complete Onboarding

When you first sign up for Orki, you'll go through a 3-stage onboarding process:

  1. Personal Details - Your name, email, and phone number
  2. Company Profile - Your business name and information
  3. Create Your First AI Agent - Set up your agent's personality and behavior

Agent Settings Overview

During onboarding, you'll configure your AI agent with several key settings:

Basic Identity

  • Name: What your agent calls itself (e.g., "Bella" for Balloon Bliss)
  • Dialect: The language style (e.g., Gulf Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, English)
  • Personality: The tone of responses (Professional, Friendly, Casual, etc.)
  • Gender: Affects language in gendered languages like Arabic

Chat Style

  • AI Disclosure: Whether the agent mentions it's an AI
  • Response Length: How detailed responses should be
  • Emoji Use: How frequently emojis appear in responses

Advanced Settings

These are the most powerful customization options:

  • Interaction Steps: Define the conversation flow your agent should follow. For Balloon Bliss, we set up steps like: greet customer → understand their event → suggest packages → collect details → confirm booking.

  • Custom Instructions: Free-form instructions that guide your agent's behavior. For example: "Always ask about the event date and venue size before recommending a package."

For detailed information on all agent settings, see the Personality Configuration Guide.


Step 2: Test in the Playground (Before Knowledge)

After onboarding, let's see what your agent can do right away.

  1. Click Playground in the sidebar
  2. Your new agent should be selected
  3. Start a conversation

What You'll Notice

Your agent can hold a natural conversation, but watch what happens when you ask specific questions about your business:

Try asking:

  • "What balloon packages do you offer?"
  • "How much does a birthday setup cost?"
  • "Do you deliver to my area?"

The agent will give generic responses because it doesn't have your business information yet. It might say something like "We offer various packages" instead of listing your actual packages with prices.

This is expected! Your agent is smart, but it needs YOUR data to give accurate answers.


Step 3: Add Knowledge to Your Agent

Now let's give your agent the information it needs. We'll crawl the Balloon Bliss website to extract all the content.

  1. Go to Knowledge Base in the sidebar
  2. Click Add Source
  3. Select Website
  4. Enter your website URL
  5. Click Start Crawl

Orki will automatically:

  • Crawl all pages on your website
  • Extract text content, product information, and FAQs
  • Process and index everything for your AI

Wait for Processing

After adding sources:

  • You'll see a progress indicator
  • Processing typically takes a few minutes
  • The status will change to "Ready" when complete

Assign Knowledge to Your Agent

Once processing is complete, you need to assign the knowledge source to your agent:

  1. Go to your AI Agent settings
  2. Find the Knowledge Sources section
  3. Select the website source you just added
  4. Save your changes

Step 4: Test Again (With Knowledge)

Now let's see the dramatic difference! Return to the Playground and ask the same questions:

Ask: "What balloon packages do you offer?"

Before (without knowledge):

"We offer various balloon decoration packages for different occasions."

After (with knowledge):

"We have several packages available! Our Birthday Bash package starts at 150 OMR and includes 50 balloons with a custom arch. The Grand Celebration package is 300 OMR with 100+ balloons, backdrop, and table arrangements. For weddings, we have the Forever Love package starting at 500 OMR..."

Your agent now gives specific, accurate information pulled directly from your website!


Step 5: Connect Web Chat Integration

Time to put your AI agent live on your website!

  1. Go to Integrations in the sidebar
  2. Select Web Chat
  3. Click Create Widget
  4. Customize the appearance:
    • Choose colors that match your brand
    • Set a welcome message
    • Configure the chat button position
  5. Copy the embed code

Add to Your Website

Add the embed code to your website, just before the closing </body> tag:

<script src="https://widget.orki.ai/your-widget-id.js"></script>

Step 6: See It Live!

Your AI agent is now live! Let's test it on your actual website.

  1. Visit your website
  2. Click the chat widget
  3. Start a conversation
  4. Watch your AI handle it perfectly!
