Chat FAQ

A chat-looking FAQ that answers from your own list of questions.

Quick-reply chips, typing dots and answers that follow a tree of questions you write. There is no AI: every answer is text you wrote. New messages are announced to screen readers and the chips work with the keyboard.

chat-faq: A chat-looking FAQ that answers from your own list of questions. A picture of the real component, drawn from its own code. The controls change the picture and the code beside it; nothing here is sent or stored.

Generated from the component's manifest and the values above.

index.html

<chat-faq locale="en"></chat-faq>

<script>
  const element = document.querySelector("chat-faq");
  element.addEventListener("chat-faq:asked", (event) => {
    console.log(event.detail);
  });
</script>

Add the site's Taggor script once; the component appears when it loads.

taggor-component.js

const element = document.createElement("chat-faq");
element.setAttribute("locale", "en");
element.addEventListener("chat-faq:asked", (event) => {
  console.log(event.detail);
});
document.body.append(element);

import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";

export function ChatFaq() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLElement>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    const element = ref.current;
    if (!element) return;
    const onAsked = (event: Event) => {
      console.log((event as CustomEvent).detail);
    };
    element.addEventListener("chat-faq:asked", onAsked);
    return () => {
      element.removeEventListener("chat-faq:asked", onAsked);
    };
  }, []);

  return <chat-faq ref={ref} locale="en" />;
}

The event is heard with addEventListener, inside an effect.

import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";

export function ChatFaq() {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLElement>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    const element = ref.current;

    const onAsked = (event: Event) => {
      console.log((event as CustomEvent).detail);
    };
    element.addEventListener("chat-faq:asked", onAsked);
    return () => {

    };
  }, []);

  return <chat-faq ref={ref} locale="en" />;

Build one with your agent

Paste this into your agent. It asks you before it signs in, pays or goes further than checking and publishing.

Build me a Taggor component like "Chat FAQ" (chat-faq): A chat-looking FAQ that answers from your own list of questions. Fetch https://taggor.dev/agent-setup/prompt.md and follow its instructions to set me up for Taggor. Ask me before you sign in, create an account, accept terms, pay for anything or type a secret. Check it with `taggor check` and publish it with `taggor publish`, and stop there. Do not promote it to production, attach it to a site, roll back anything or use --yes, --force or --force-drop-invalid unless I ask for exactly that in this conversation.
