What the 30 minutes looks like

Step 1: agent wizard, 10 minutes

Pick your industry, name your agent, set its tone, choose which features are on (bookings, leads, complaints, after-hours). The wizard walks you through it.

Step 2: knowledge base, 10 to 20 minutes

Paste your FAQs, pricing, policies, menu or services into the knowledge sections. You can also upload existing documents. This is the bit most people underestimate, so we have prompts to make it fast.

Step 3: install on your website, 2 minutes

Copy the embed snippet, paste it before the closing body tag. Works on WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow or raw HTML. No build step.

What can slow it down

01
Sole trader with everything in their head
If you have never written your FAQs down, gathering content takes longer than the technical setup. Block an hour for "what would a customer ask" before you start the wizard.
02
Existing website but no admin access
You need someone who can edit the site (or paste a snippet in the theme editor). For WordPress this is usually a 5-minute task for your existing web person.
03
Multi-location business with different content per branch
You can run one agent per location or one agent that knows them all. The wizard handles either, but a multi-location rollout is closer to 60 minutes of setup once content is ready.
04
Regulated industry with content review
Medical, legal and financial businesses usually run the draft system prompt past their compliance person before going live. Add a few days for internal review, separate from the technical setup.
05
Replacing an existing chat tool
If you already have a chat widget, swapping it for Lekker AI is the same 2-minute embed plus removing the old script. No data migration, no contract overlap needed.
