What if you could have a personal AI assistant that knows your product, speaks your brand's voice, and answers your customers' questions 24/7 — without writing a single line of code? That's exactly what Assisters lets you build. In this guide, you'll go from zero to a live, working AI assister in 10 minutes.
What You'll Build
By the end of this guide, you'll have a fully functional AI assister that:
- Answers questions based on your knowledge base
- Has a custom name and personality
- Can be embedded on any website or shared as a link
- Earns you money every time someone subscribes to use it
Prerequisites
You only need two things: a free Assisters account (sign up at assisters.dev) and something you want your assister to know about — a product, a topic, a service, or your personal expertise.
Step 1: Sign Up and Create Your Assister
Head to assisters.dev and create a free account. Once you're in, click "New Assister" from your dashboard. Give it a name — something that reflects its purpose, like "Support Bot" or "Product Guide".
Step 2: Write Your System Prompt
The system prompt is the personality and instructions behind your assister. A good system prompt is specific. Specificity = better answers. Spend 2–3 minutes on this step.
Step 3: Upload Your Knowledge Base
Click "Knowledge Base" and upload your content. Assisters accepts PDFs, text files, URLs, and plain text. Start with 3–5 core documents.
Step 4: Test Your Assister
Use the built-in chat preview to test your assister before publishing. Ask it the questions your users would ask.
Step 5: Publish and Share
Hit Publish. Assisters gives you a shareable link and an embed snippet you can drop into any website. You can also set a monthly subscription price.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Vague system prompts: Give the AI a role, a scope, and a tone.
- Uploading irrelevant documents: Only include content directly related to what your assister should know.
- Skipping the test phase: Always test before sharing publicly.
Next Steps
Congratulations — your first AI assister is live. Set a subscription price to start earning, share the link with your audience, and check your analytics.
