Quick Start Guide
Getting started with Resly is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps to deploy your AI support agent.
Sign Up
Navigate to /register to create your account. The first user becomes the organization owner.
After registration, log in at /login to access your admin dashboard.
Complete onboarding
The onboarding wizard at /admin/onboarding helps you set up:
- Brand color (hex code) for your widgets
- Assistant tone and guidance (Professional, Friendly, Casual, or Empathetic)
- Launch checklist tasks to track your progress
Add knowledge (Knowledge tab)
Choose how to build your knowledge base:
Upload Files
- Drag and drop files (PDF, Markdown, HTML, TXT)
- Multiple files supported
- Files are automatically processed and indexed
Crawl Your Website
- Enter any public URL
- Automatically crawl multiple pages
- Clean text extraction for best results
One knowledge base powers both chat and search - upload content once and deploy everywhere.
Set AI Guidance
- Choose tone: Professional, Friendly, Casual, or Empathetic
- Add custom instructions for your specific use case
- Set boundaries for what the AI should/shouldn’t do
Test your agent (preview)
Before going live, thoroughly test your agent:
- Chat with the preview widget in Install Widget → Widget to test responses
- Review the event log to see retrieved knowledge chunks
- Test tool executions (check orders, create tickets, etc.)
- Iterate on content and settings based on results
Always test in preview mode before deploying to production. Check that the AI retrieves the right content and provides accurate answers.
Deploy (Install & Integrate)
Choose which experience to deploy—or use both:
Chat Widget
- Navigate to the Install Widget area in the admin
- Customize:
- Colors and position
- Welcome message
- Quick replies
- Theme (light/dark)
- Copy the embed code
- Paste before closing
</body>tag on your website
Example embed code:
<script src="https://yoursite.com/embed.js"></script>
<script>
window.fw('init', {
primaryColor: '#10B981',
welcomeMessage: 'Hi! How can I help you today?',
quickReplies: 'Pricing, Demo, Contact',
position: 'bottom-right',

});
</script>Perfect for conversational support with automated actions.
Search Experience
- Configure in the DEPLOY tab:
- Accent color and launcher label
- Hero title and subtitle
- Suggestion prompts
- Search mode (instant or detailed)
- Copy the search embed code
- Add to your website
Example search code:
<script src="https://yoursite.com/search-embed.js"></script>
<script>
window.rs('init', {
accentColor: '#10B981',
launcherLabel: 'Search Docs',

heroSubtitle: 'Get instant answers from our documentation',
