01

Create a knowledge base

Sign up for a free Kelu account and create a knowledge base. Give it a name that matches your product or knowledge domain.

02

Add your docs URL and crawl

Enter the root URL of your documentation site. Kelu discovers pages via sitemap and links, extracts clean content, and builds your knowledge index.

03

Embed the widget

Copy the widget snippet from your dashboard and add it to your docs site. The widget is hosted at widget.kelu.dev and is ready to answer questions immediately after the crawl completes. To build your own UI, use the React or JavaScript SDK from npm, or the REST API below.

<!-- Hosted widget (any HTML page) --> <script async src="https://widget.kelu.dev/kelu-widget.js" data-widget-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID" data-client-key="kl_pk_..."></script>
04

Call the API (optional)

Use the Chat API to build custom integrations. Pass a question and an optional thread ID. Get a grounded answer streamed with citation links.

curl -N https://app.kelu.dev/api/v1/public/knowledge-bases/YOUR_KNOWLEDGE_BASE_ID/chat \ -H "X-Client-Id: kl_ci_..." \ -H "X-Client-Secret: kl_cs_..." \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"query": "How do I authenticate the SDK?"}'
