AI Chat in Console
Brief Overview
WalkMe's AI Chat Configuration in the console puts the power of conversational AI in your hands. Whether you want to deliver a seamless multi-chat bot experience using our unified chat experience, or isolate support scenarios with independent chat bots, this guide walks you through everything you need to know.
From setting up smart chat bot routing to customizing your chat's appearance, you'll learn how to design a branded, scalable, and intelligent support experience for your users across desktop, mobile, and web.
Access
To access the AI Chat page, navigate to the ActionBot app in WalkMe console:
-

How It Works
The AI Chat tab in the console allows you to configure and manage the chat experience across two main tabs: Chat Bots and Appearance.
-
The Chat Bots tab lets you create and manage AI chat bots that power the chat interface, either as part of unified chat or as standalone independent chat bots
-
The Appearance tab lets you control the look and feel of the chat interface, including welcome messaging and logo branding
Chat Bots Tab
AI Chat Bot
AI Chat Bot (also referred to as Unified Chat) brings multiple AI chat bots into a single interface, allowing you to create one cohesive chat experience for your users. Instead of requiring them to choose a specific assistant, AI Chat intelligently routes their question to the best chat bot based on the request's intent.
You can connect multiple chat bots—such as ActionBot, Company AI, and Public AI—under one AI Chat interface.
