AI Chatbot Onboarding Checklist

Everything you need to launch successfully

Launching an AI chatbot successfully requires a structured onboarding process. Vatdi simplifies onboarding with a no-code platform, but following this checklist ensures you cover every base: content preparation, training, customization, testing, launch, and optimization. Use it to go from zero to live with confidence.

Pre-Launch Checklist

Before going live, complete these steps: define your chatbot goals, gather training content (FAQs, docs, product data), upload to Vatdi, customize the widget appearance, configure lead capture fields, set up human handover rules, and test with 20-30 sample questions.

Launch Day Checklist

On launch day: embed the widget on your site, verify it loads correctly on desktop and mobile, test the lead capture form, confirm human handover routing works, and brief your support team on the AI handover flow. Start with high-traffic pages first.

Post-Launch Optimization

After launch: review conversations daily for the first week, identify questions the AI struggles with, add missing content to the training data, adjust handover triggers if needed, and set up weekly review cadence for ongoing optimization.
