Visit **Setup** page and follow these steps: Before we begin, please review our terms and conditions to ensure you understand how EchoAI works. After an initial setup, we'll start discovering and indexing your website. Depending on the size of your site, this may take some time, so please be patient. This step is crucial as it allows EchoAI to understand and analyze your content. After the indexing is complete, you can test your AI assistant directly from the WordPress dashboard. This is your opportunity to see how it interacts with your website's content and provides intelligent responses. If everything looks good, you can start using EchoAI on your site. There are 3 different methods to insert the assistant into your site: Read how to use the Gutenberg block. Read how to use the `[echo_ai]` shortcode. Read how floating button works. EchoAI will automatically stay updated with any changes you make to your site. Whether you create, update, or delete a post, our AI service will sync with your content in the background to ensure accurate and up-to-date responses. ## What's Next?
