From signup to a live chatbot on your website — no coding required. Follow this guide and you'll be up and running in under 10 minutes.
Sign up for free — no credit card required. Your free plan includes 1 chatbot, 50 messages/month, and 100 pages indexed.
Tip: Start with the free plan to explore the platform, then upgrade when you're ready to go live.
PageCortex crawls your website and indexes its content so your chatbot can answer questions accurately.
Tip: You can add multiple URLs to focus on specific pages, or use a sitemap URL to bulk-import all pages at once.
A bot is your AI assistant — give it a name, personality, and connect it to your website's knowledge.
Tip: System prompt example: "You are a helpful support assistant for Acme Corp. Answer questions about our products, pricing, and policies. If you don't know the answer, say so and suggest contacting support@acme.com."
Use the built-in preview to test your bot before embedding it on your site.
Tip: Try asking questions your customers actually ask — edge cases, product comparisons, pricing questions.
Add your chatbot to any website with a single line of code. No framework required.

Tip: Paste before </body> on your marketing site, pricing page, or docs portal. See platform-specific guides below if needed.
PageCortex has two layers: knowledge sources that teach your bot from static content (RAG), and live API integrations that let it look up real orders, products, and shipping during chat.

Everything you need to know about using PageCortex.
How long does it take to set up a chatbot?
Most users have a working chatbot embedded on their site within 5–10 minutes. The crawling process takes 1–2 minutes for most sites.
What AI models are used?
Free and Starter plans use GPT-4.1 Mini — fast and cost-effective. Growth, Scale, and Enterprise plans unlock GPT-4.1 (most capable) and smart auto-routing that selects the best model per query.
What happens when my message limit is reached?
The chatbot will notify users that the limit has been reached for the month. You can buy add-on message packs (1K, 5K, or 10K) from the Billing page, or upgrade your plan to get a higher monthly limit.
Does the chatbot answer in real time?
Yes — responses are streamed in real time. Most answers appear within 1–2 seconds.
How does the chatbot know what's on my website?
PageCortex crawls your website, splits the text into chunks, and creates vector embeddings stored in our database. When a user asks a question, we find the most relevant chunks and pass them to the AI along with the question — this is called RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
Can I update my website's content and re-index?
Yes. Go to Dashboard → Websites → select your site → click "Re-crawl". The bot's knowledge will update to reflect your latest content.
Can I customise what the chatbot looks like?
The widget supports a custom accent color and position. Full white-label (remove PageCortex branding) is available on Starter plan and above.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Your content is only used to answer questions for your own bot — it's never shared with other users or used for training.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes — cancel anytime from Billing → Manage Subscription. You'll keep access until the end of your billing period.
