Prerequisites

Before you start, you’ll need:

Step 3: Add Knowledge to Your Agent (2 minutes)

Knowledge helps your agent understand your business and answer questions accurately.
  1. Click “Knowledge” in the left sidebar
  2. Click “Upload Document” or “Add Knowledge”

Upload Your First Document

  1. Choose a document about your business (PDF, Word doc, or text file)

    • Product information
    • FAQ document
    • Any text about your services
  2. Select your connection from the dropdown
  3. Click “Upload”
Don’t have a document? You can also:
  • Copy and paste text directly
  • Create a simple text file with information about your business
  • Use any existing documentation you have

Verify Upload

  1. Check that your document appears in the knowledge list
  2. Note the connection it’s associated with
  3. Wait for processing (usually takes 1-2 minutes)

Step 4: Create Your First Agent (3 minutes)

Now you’ll create an AI agent that can help your website visitors.
  1. Click “Agents” in the left sidebar
  2. Click “Create Agent”

Basic Agent Setup

  1. Select “AI Agent” as the type
  2. Enter agent name (e.g., “Support Assistant”)
  3. Enter description (e.g., “Helps customers with questions and support”)
  4. Choose voice (Male or Female)
  5. Click “Continue”

Write Agent Instructions

Use this template and customize it for your business:
You are [Agent Name], a helpful customer support assistant for [Your Company Name].

Your role is to:
- Answer questions about our products and services
- Help customers with common issues
- Provide information about our business
- Guide users to the right resources

When helping customers:
- Be friendly and professional
- Ask clarifying questions when needed
- Provide accurate information based on our knowledge base
- Be helpful and patient

Company information:
- Business: [What your company does]
- Hours: [Your business hours]
- Contact: [How to reach you for complex issues]

Assign Knowledge

  1. Select your connection from the dropdown
  2. Choose the knowledge you uploaded
  3. Click “Create Agent”

Step 5: Run a Simulation (2 minutes)

This is where Marketrix becomes truly powerful. Simulations let your agent explore and learn your actual application interface, making it much more effective at helping users.
  1. Click “Simulations” in the left sidebar
  2. Select your connection from the dropdown
  3. Select your agent from the dropdown

Create Your First Simulation

Explore the website at {{url}} and learn how users navigate and use the main features.
Focus on:
- How users find information about products/services
- The main navigation and user interface
- Key workflows and processes
- How users can get help or contact support
  1. Click “Generate Simulation”

Monitor the Simulation

  • Watch the progress as your agent explores your website
  • Respond to any questions the agent asks
  • Wait for completion (usually takes 1-2 minutes)
Why simulations matter: This exploration helps your agent understand your actual interface, making it much better at providing specific, accurate guidance to users.

Step 6: Test Your Agent in the Playground (1 minute)

Before deploying, test your agent to make sure it works correctly.

Open the Playground

  1. Click “Playground” in the left sidebar
  2. Select your connection from the dropdown
  3. Select your agent from the dropdown

Test Your Agent

  1. Send a test message like “Hello, can you help me?”
  2. Ask a question about your business
  3. Try different types of questions to see how it responds
  4. Check that responses are helpful and accurate
Example test questions:
  • “What does your company do?”
  • “How can I contact support?”
  • “What are your business hours?”
  • “Tell me about your products”

Make Adjustments

If your agent doesn’t respond well:
  • Go back to your agent and update the instructions
  • Add more knowledge if needed
  • Test again in the playground

Step 7: Create Your Widget Integration (2 minutes)

Now you’ll create a widget that you can embed on your website.
  1. Click “Integrations” in the left sidebar
  2. Click “Create Integration”

Set Up Widget Integration

    • Enable all modes: Tell, Show, Do
  5. Click “Create Integration”

Get Your Integration Code

  1. Copy the integration code provided
  2. Note the script tag - this is what you’ll add to your website

Step 8: Deploy to Your Website (1 minute)

Add the widget to your website to start helping users.

Add the Widget Code

  1. Open your website’s HTML (or content management system)
  2. Paste the integration code before the closing </body> tag
  3. Save and publish your website
Example integration code:
<script 
  src="https://your-domain.com/integration/1/widget.js"
  data-marketrix-id="your-marketrix-id"
  data-marketrix-key="your-marketrix-key"
  data-position="bottom-right"
  data-theme="light"
  data-agent-name="Support Assistant"
  data-enabled-modes="show,tell,do">
</script>

Test on Your Website

  1. Visit your website
  2. Look for the widget in the bottom-right corner
