Getting started
Create your account
Sign up, build your first agent from your business details, try it, then activate it and connect a channel.
You start on gabster.ai. Gabster builds the first version of your agent from your business details, and you try it on the page before it talks to any customer. Already have an account? Use Log in (دخول) at the top of any gabster.ai page.
Choose where to start
Both start with Build your agent (ابنِ وكيلك):
- The setup page. Tap Build your agent at the top of any gabster.ai page. A short form opens: see Fill in the setup form.
- The box on the home page. Paste your website link into the box and tap Build your agent. You go to the sign-up page, and your agent is built from that link. If you leave the box empty, you go to the setup page instead.
Fill in the setup form
The form is titled Tell us about your business (اكتب بيانات نشاطك):
- Your name (اسمك)
- Your WhatsApp number (جوالك على الواتساب): your confirmation code comes here.
- Your email (إيميلك): for your Gabster account.
- Your website (رابط موقعك): optional. No website? Leave it empty and describe your business after you confirm. Instagram accounts can't be read here.
Tap Build your agent (ابنِ وكيلك), then type the 6-digit code you got on WhatsApp and tap Confirm (تأكيد). If we can't send it on WhatsApp, the code comes to your email.
Or sign up on the sign-up page
The sign-up page offers two ways:
- Google. Tap Google's button and choose your account. Then enter What's your business WhatsApp number? (وش رقم واتساب نشاطك؟) and tap Continue (تابع). Your account uses your Google name and email. The Google button doesn't appear inside the Instagram, Facebook or TikTok apps: open the page in your browser.
- Or sign up with your WhatsApp number (أو سجّل برقم الواتساب). Enter the WhatsApp number your customers message you on, say whether it's your own phone, add your name and Your email (for your account and your agent's alerts) (إيميلك (لحسابك وتنبيهات وكيلك)), then tap Send the code (أرسل الرمز). Type the code you got on WhatsApp. Didn't get it? Tap Didn't get it? Send it to my email (ما وصلك؟ أرسله على إيميلي).
Sign up with a mobile number: a landline can't be used to try your agent.
Tell us about your business and customers
Two short steps help set your agent up for your business:
- Tell us more about your business (خبرنا أكثر عن نشاطك): business name, website (optional), industry and team size. Tap Next (التالي).
- Tell us about your customers (عرّفنا على عملائك): who your main customers are and what you want to do in your customer chats. Tap Start building your agent (ابدأ بناء وكيلك).
Let your agent learn about your business
With a website link, your agent starts learning from it on its own. The page shows its progress, such as Reading your website… (نقرأ موقعك…) and Understanding your business… (نفهم نشاطك…).
Without a website, choose how your agent learns, under Where should your agent learn about your business? (من وين يتعلّم وكيلك عن نشاطك؟):
- Describe your business (اكتب عن نشاطك) in your own words.
- Snap your menu or prices (صوّر المنيو أو الأسعار).
- Answer 4 questions (جاوب على 4 أسئلة). One answer is enough to continue.
Social media pages can't be read from a link. Use one of the three ways above instead.
Try your agent
On Try your agent (جرّب وكيلك), ask the questions your customers ask and read its answers. You can add more about your business at any time later in the Knowledge Base.
After its first answer, two buttons unlock:
- Activate your agent (فعّل وكيلك): puts your agent live. See Activate your agent and connect a channel.
- Or try it on your number for an hour first (أو جرّبه على رقمك ساعة أول): try it on your own WhatsApp before you activate it.
Activate your agent and connect a channel
Tap Activate your agent (فعّل وكيلك). A box opens in place: tick I agree to the trial terms (أوافق على شروط التجربة), tap Start 7-day trial (ابدأ تجربة 7 أيام), and finish on Stripe's secure form (نموذج Stripe الآمن). The box tells you whether a card is needed. If it is, nothing is charged today, and you can cancel before the trial ends from your billing settings.
Then, on Connect your agent to a channel (اربط وكيلك بقناة), choose where your customers talk to you. Link WhatsApp from your phone in a few steps, or use Meta's official connection. Other channels (قنوات ثانية) and Your website chat (دردشة موقعك) are there too, and Open the dashboard (افتح لوحة التحكم) lets you do it later.
The Connect your channels tutorial walks through each channel. Then take a tour of the dashboard.
