Similar to websites, you can add custom training data using PDF files. To upload PDF documents, navigate to the PDF tab To upload a PDF file, you have two options:

Option 1: Drag and Drop

  • Simply drag a PDF file from your computer and drop it into the box that says “Drag and drop PDF files.”

Option 2: File Selection

  • If you prefer to select the file manually, click on the box. This will open your computer’s file explorer.
  • Navigate through your folders and select the PDF file you wish to upload.
  • Once you’ve selected the file, click “Open” to upload it to the platform.

After uploading, you will see the file listed below the upload box.

Once you have filled out the necessary website details or uploaded PDF files,

  • Review: Double-check the URL and paths and uploaded PDF files to ensure they are correct.
  • Create: Click the “Create Chatbot” button located at the bottom right of the section.

Upon clicking “Create Chatbot,” WebWhiz will begin the process of fetching data from the specified paths on your website. This data will be used to train your chatbot, enabling it to answer questions and interact with users based on the content of your site.
