Deployment Overview
Once your agent is trained, you can deploy it to multiple channels simultaneously. Every channel draws on the same knowledge base and the same AI model — you train once and deploy everywhere. Channels are independent: enabling or configuring one does not affect the others.
Available deployment channels
| Channel | What it does | Setup complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Chat Widget | Floating chat bubble embedded on any website with a two-line script tag | Minutes |
| Help Page | Hosted standalone chat page at a unique AIChatVault URL — share the link directly | Instant (already live) |
| Custom Domain | Serve your Help Page on your own domain (e.g. help.yoursite.com) with automatic HTTPS | 15–30 min (DNS change) |
| Email Channel | Automatically reply to support emails forwarded to your agent's inbox address | 5–10 min (forwarding rule) |
| WhatsApp Business | Chat via the WhatsApp Business API — requires a verified Meta Business account | Hours (Meta verification) |
| Instagram DMs | Auto-reply to Instagram direct messages on a Professional account | Minutes (Meta page connection) |
| Facebook Messenger | Chat on your Facebook Page via Messenger | Minutes (Meta page connection) |
| Mobile App (iOS/Android) | Native SDK — floating chat bubble inside any iOS, Android, Flutter, or React Native app | Minutes (drop in source files) |
How to access deployment settings
Each agent has a dedicated Deploy section in its sidebar. Click Deploy in your agent's left navigation to see all available channels. Each channel has its own configuration page with status indicators and quick-start instructions.
Choosing the right channel
- •Start with the Chat Widget if you have a website — it reaches the most visitors with the least effort.
- •Use the Help Page as a shareable link in email footers, social profiles, or support team responses when a full website embed isn't practical.
- •Add a Custom Domain once you want the help page to feel native to your brand (help.yoursite.com instead of aichatvault.com/...).
- •Set up the Email Channel if your team receives support emails and wants to automate first-response drafts.
- •Connect messaging channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger) to reach customers where they already are.
- •Use the Mobile SDK to add AI support to an iOS or Android app without rebuilding the backend.
ℹ️
All channels use the same knowledge base. A change to your training data (adding a file, editing a Q&A entry) is reflected on all channels simultaneously — you never need to re-deploy after a knowledge update.
