Getting Kilo up and running is straightforward. You don't need a developer, and you don't need any technical background. This guide walks you through the five steps from sign-up to your first qualified lead landing in Slack.
Go to kilo-sales.com/login and sign up with your work email. You'll immediately get a 21-day free trial that includes 100 conversations — no credit card required to explore. The trial gives you access to every feature so you can see exactly what Kilo does before committing.
Tip: Use your company email (e.g., jane@acmesoftware.com) rather than a personal address. This helps Kilo associate your account with your company and unlocks referral eligibility later.
During onboarding, enter your website URL (e.g.,
You don't need to upload anything manually. Kilo handles the crawling in the background while you continue setup.
This is where you shape how your AI assistant behaves with visitors. There are four key settings:
Bot name — the name visitors see in the chat window. Pick something that fits your brand, like "Acme AI" or "Sales Assistant."
Tone — choose between friendly, professional, technical, or casual. Most B2B companies start with "professional" and adjust from there.
Sales framework — this determines how Kilo qualifies leads during conversation. Choose MEDDPICC for complex enterprise deals, BANT for simpler sales cycles, or SPICED for a modern impact-focused approach. Not sure? Start with BANT — it's the simplest and you can switch anytime.
Personas — define the buyer roles you care about (e.g., "VP of Sales," "CTO," "IT Director"). When Kilo detects a visitor matches one of these roles, it adjusts the conversation to focus on what matters most to that persona.
Copy the embed code from Kilo and paste it into your website. If you use a CMS like WordPress, Webflow, or Squarespace, you can paste it into the custom code or header injection area. If your site is built with a framework like Next.js, add it to your layout file.
Floating widget (recommended for most teams) — adds a chat bubble to every page:
Inline widget — places the chat inside a specific section, great for pricing or demo pages:
Fullscreen widget — a full-page chat experience, ideal for a dedicated "Talk to our AI" page:

This is the step that makes Kilo truly useful for your sales team. Go to Notifications in your dashboard, paste your Slack webhook URL, and set a score threshold (the default of 60 works well for most teams).
Now, whenever a website visitor has a meaningful conversation and hits your qualification bar, Kilo sends a detailed lead brief directly to your Slack channel — including the visitor's role, company, pain points, and a link to the full transcript.
Common question: "What if I don't use Slack?" No problem. Kilo also sends email alerts to the account owner automatically. Slack is optional but recommended because the briefs arrive in real time and your whole team can see them.
That's it — you're live. Kilo is now engaging your website visitors 24/7, qualifying leads while your team sleeps, and sending you actionable briefs the moment someone looks promising. Most teams see their first qualified lead brief within a few hours of going live.
From here, you can fine-tune your setup anytime from the dashboard: adjust the agent's tone, add more knowledge, tweak your scoring threshold, or customize the widget's appearance to match your brand.
Quickstart Guide
Deploy Kilo in 5 minutes
Getting Kilo up and running is straightforward. You don't need a developer, and you don't need any technical background. This guide walks you through the five steps from sign-up to your first qualified lead landing in Slack.
1. Create your account
Go to kilo-sales.com/login and sign up with your work email. You'll immediately get a 21-day free trial that includes 100 conversations — no credit card required to explore. The trial gives you access to every feature so you can see exactly what Kilo does before committing.
Tip: Use your company email (e.g., jane@acmesoftware.com) rather than a personal address. This helps Kilo associate your account with your company and unlocks referral eligibility later.
2. Connect your website
During onboarding, enter your website URL (e.g.,
https://www.acmesoftware.com). Kilo will automatically visit and read your public pages — your homepage, product pages, pricing page, about page, and more. This becomes the foundation of your AI agent's knowledge, so it can answer visitor questions accurately from day one.You don't need to upload anything manually. Kilo handles the crawling in the background while you continue setup.
3. Configure your agent
This is where you shape how your AI assistant behaves with visitors. There are four key settings:
4. Add the snippet to your website
Copy the embed code from Kilo and paste it into your website. If you use a CMS like WordPress, Webflow, or Squarespace, you can paste it into the custom code or header injection area. If your site is built with a framework like Next.js, add it to your layout file.
Floating widget (recommended for most teams) — adds a chat bubble to every page:
<script src="https://kilo-sales.com/widget.js" data-site-id="abc123xyz" async></script>
Inline widget — places the chat inside a specific section, great for pricing or demo pages:
<div id="kilo-chat"></div><script src="https://kilo-sales.com/widget.js" data-site-id="abc123xyz" data-mode="inline" data-target="kilo-chat" async></script>
Fullscreen widget — a full-page chat experience, ideal for a dedicated "Talk to our AI" page:
<div id="kilo-full"></div><script src="https://kilo-sales.com/widget.js" data-site-id="abc123xyz" data-mode="fullscreen" data-target="kilo-full" async></script>
Replace
abc123xyz with your actual Site ID (found in your dashboard under Widget settings). If you're not sure which option to pick, go with Floating — it works everywhere and you can always change it later.5. Set up Slack notifications
This is the step that makes Kilo truly useful for your sales team. Go to Notifications in your dashboard, paste your Slack webhook URL, and set a score threshold (the default of 60 works well for most teams).
Now, whenever a website visitor has a meaningful conversation and hits your qualification bar, Kilo sends a detailed lead brief directly to your Slack channel — including the visitor's role, company, pain points, and a link to the full transcript.
Common question: "What if I don't use Slack?" No problem. Kilo also sends email alerts to the account owner automatically. Slack is optional but recommended because the briefs arrive in real time and your whole team can see them.
