Deploy AI-Powered Website Chatbot with DeepSeek and Custom Branding

Who's it for

This template is perfect for business owners, developers, and marketers who want to add a professional, branded AI chatbot to their website. Whether you're running an e-commerce site, a SaaS platform, or a corporate website, this template gives you a fully customizable chat widget that integrates seamlessly with your brand.

How it works

The template creates a webhook endpoint that receives chat messages and processes them through an AI agent powered by DeepSeek. The workflow includes:

• Webhook endpoint that accepts POST requests from your website
• AI Agent that processes user messages and maintains conversation context
• Memory buffer that remembers conversation history for each user session
• Response formatting that sends AI replies back to your chat widget

The chat widget itself is a vanilla JavaScript component that you embed on your website. It features:

• Customizable colors, branding, and positioning
• Light/dark theme support
• Mobile-responsive design
• Local conversation history
• Session management with expiration
• WordPress plugin integration

2. Configure your DeepSeek API credentials in the DeepSeek Chat Model node
