You can try the widget live on getanteon.com to see how it works in a real-world setting.
You can add your Guru directly to your website using our widget. The widget adds an “Ask AI” button that opens a chat interface when clicked.

​
Prerequisites

Before adding the widget, make sure you have:
  • A Guru on Gurubase (either on Gurubase.io or self-hosted with Enterprise plan)
  • A Widget ID from your Guru’s settings

​
Getting Your Widget ID

  1. Click “My Gurus” under the profile
  2. Click the Guru you want to add the widget to
  3. Click “Integrations” and then “Web Widget”
  4. Click “New Widget ID”
  5. Enter your website’s domain
  6. Copy the generated Widget ID
Create Widget ID
Each Widget ID is restricted to work only on the specific domain it was created for. For example:
  • If a Widget ID created for https://www.example.com will only work on that exact domain.
    • It won’t work on subdomains like https://docs.example.com
    • It won’t work on different domains like https://example.org
  • For local development, you need to create a separate Widget ID using your development URL (e.g., http://localhost:3000)
  • Domain input supports wildcard (*) expression:
    • *.example.com will match any subdomain of example.com
    • http://localhost:* will match any port of localhost
    • * will match any domain, so be careful with this option! Anyone who knows your Widget ID can send requests to your Guru.
Make sure to create Widget IDs for each domain where you want to use the widget.
