Add an AI chatbot to your Docusaurus docs.
Docs sites get the same questions over and over. ChatBento learns from your Docusaurus pages and answers them in a chat window, linking to the page it used. Docusaurus's scripts option adds the widget to every page from one config entry.

docusaurus.config.js
export default {
// …
scripts: [
{
src: "https://chatbento.com/widget.js",
async: true,
"data-bot-id": "YOUR_BOT_ID",
},
],
};Steps follow Docusaurus’s own documentation, checked October 23, 2026.
Keep async
Docusaurus puts these scripts in <head>, where they'd block rendering, so its docs suggest async or defer. Keep async: true.
Extra attributes are allowed
Docusaurus accepts any attribute with a string or boolean value on a script object, so data-bot-id is passed through as written.
Versioned docs
Train ChatBento on your current docs version. If old versions are crawled too, answers can mix versions; add Q&As to point people at the right one.
What the chatbot does on your Docusaurus site
Answers from your content
Trained on your pages, docs and Q&As. It says so when it doesn't know, instead of guessing.
Hands off to you
When a visitor needs a person, it collects their email and sends you the conversation.

Docusaurus questions. Answered.
Will it link to the docs page it answered from?
Yes. Answers show the pages they came from, so readers can open the full doc.
Does it replace Algolia DocSearch?
No, they work together. Search finds pages; the chatbot answers questions in full sentences from those pages.
Does it stay open between docs pages?
Yes. Docusaurus navigates on the client side and the widget sits outside its app root, so a conversation continues as readers move around.
