You can test your AI Agent standalone bot before it goes live by using the built-in preview chat.
Enable the AI Agent first
Make sure the AI Agent assistant is enabled in your website widget inbox settings. If it is not enabled, the preview will not show the bot.
Open the preview
In the website widget settings, click Preview. A drawer opens showing how the widget looks on a sample page.

Start a test chat
Click Open widget or the chat button to start a conversation.

Type a question as if you were a visitor. The AI Agent will reply based on the project's AI Instructions and AI knowledge base.

Refine the bot
If the replies are not what you expect, adjust the AI Instructions or add more articles to the AI knowledge base, then run the preview again.
