ScyllaDB Docs ScyllaDB Sphinx Theme Configuration AI chatbot support (beta)

AI chatbot support (beta)¶

ScyllaDB Docs integrates with Biel.ai to offer a conversational interface for documentation.

The chatbot can answer documentation-related questions and provide relevant links to help users find the information they need quickly.

Note

This feature is in beta and disabled by default. It will be gradually enabled for all documentation sites in a future release. If you want to enable it now, please contact us in Slack (#scylla-docs channel).

Installation¶

To enable the AI chatbot, update your conf.py file by setting hide_ai_chatbot to false in html_theme_options:

html_theme_options = {
    "hide_ai_chatbot": "false"
}

Usage¶

Once enabled, the Ask AI button will appear in the documentation interface. Users can click the button to start a conversation, ask questions, and receive responses with relevant documentation links.

  • Check for errors in the browser console that may indicate issues with the integration.

For more details, refer to the Biel.ai documentation.
