AI chatbot for Google Sites: answers from your own pages, installed in two minutes
Google Sites is common for clubs, schools, small practices and internal pages, where the same handful of questions — times, fees, how to sign up — come in by email every week.
Installing it on Google Sites
Google Sites accepts HTML and JavaScript through its Embed tool, but it runs that code inside a sandboxed frame on the page rather than on the page itself. It works, with limits worth knowing before you start.
<script src="https://thebiggestnerd.com/widget.js" data-key="your-key" async></script>Your own key is in the dashboard once you sign up.
- 1Open the site in Google Sites and go to the page you want the assistant on.
- 2From the Insert panel, choose Embed, then the Embed code tab.
- 3Paste the script and select Next, then Insert.
- 4Drag the embed box to the size you want the chat to have — it opens inside that box.
- 5Select Publish.
The thing that usually catches people out
Because Google Sites puts embedded code in its own frame, the chat appears inside the box you drew rather than as a bubble floating in the corner, and only on the pages you add it to. The frame is served from a Google address, not your site's, so if the chat loads but will not answer, email us and we will tell you which address to add to your bot's allowed sites.
It will not make things up about your shop
This is the part worth being careful about. An assistant that invents a 60-day return window has made a promise you have to keep. The Biggest Nerd answers from the material you gave it and nothing else — ask it something your pages do not cover and it says so, then points the customer at you.
Questions
Will it slow my Google Sites shop down?
No. The script is loaded asynchronously and is a few kilobytes, so the page finishes rendering whether or not the assistant has loaded. If our service is unreachable the bubble simply does not appear, and nothing else on your shop changes.
Can it make up a policy I do not have?
It answers only from the pages and notes you give it. Ask it something they do not cover and it says so and points the customer to you, rather than guessing at what shops usually do. It also cannot see your orders, so it will never claim something has shipped.
Do I need a developer to install it on Google Sites?
No. It is one line pasted into Google Sites, in the place described above. If you can edit your theme or your site settings you can install it.
