Add customer support to your Bolt app in minutes
You went from prompt to deployed app with Bolt. Deployed apps get real users — and real users ask real questions. HelpShelf is the AI agent that handles them: grounded in your own content, dropped in with one script tag, and pinging you only when it hits something it cannot answer.
Can you add customer support to a Bolt app?
Yes. An app built with Bolt (bolt.new) is a standard deployable web app, so you can add a full AI customer support agent in about five minutes. With HelpShelf, you point the agent at your live app or docs so it learns your product, then paste a single script tag into your app's HTML head. A support widget then loads on every page and answers users with cited answers drawn from your content, escalating to you over email or Telegram when it is not confident. There is a free Starter plan, so you can ship support alongside the app you just deployed at no cost.
Bolt deployed the app. It did not deploy a support team.
Prompting the app into existence was the fast part. Then it went live, users found it, and the questions started rolling in.
- The same handful of setup questions, again and again, landing in your DMs at midnight.
- You shipped fast — which means no help center, no docs, and no FAQ to point anyone at.
- Bolt builds the product beautifully, but it will not explain 'how do I change my plan?' to a confused user.
- You are the builder, the deployer, and now the entire front line of support.
From Bolt build to live support in three steps
No help desk migration. No new platform to learn.
Point it at your Bolt app
Paste your deployed app URL or your docs. HelpShelf reads your product and builds a knowledge base in seconds — no source code or repo access needed.
Add one script tag
Copy the HelpShelf snippet and paste it into your app's HTML head — the <head> of your index.html. Redeploy and the widget loads on every page automatically.
Ship it and let the agent work
Your users get instant, cited answers around the clock. You only get pinged when something genuinely needs a human, and every conversation lands in your inbox.
Built for how you shipped it
Fast to install. Grounded in your content. Quiet until it needs you.
Live in 5 minutes
Paste your Bolt app URL, drop one script tag into index.html, redeploy. No backend to stand up, no help desk to configure.
Answers from your app
The agent learns from your live pages and docs, then answers questions with cited sources — never invented features your app does not have.
One script tag to install
A Bolt app is a real web app, so install is a one-liner. Add the HelpShelf snippet to the <head> of index.html and the widget appears on every page.
Escalates, never hallucinates
When confidence is low, the agent hands the conversation to you over email or Telegram instead of guessing at an answer.
Free while you validate
Start free on the Starter plan — right-sized for the MVP you just deployed from Bolt and the first users kicking the tires.
Stays in sync
Ship a new feature in Bolt, re-sync your content in HelpShelf, and the agent relearns the answer. No manual maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. An app built with Bolt (bolt.new) is a standard web app, so you can add a full AI customer support agent with HelpShelf in about five minutes. Paste your deployed app URL so HelpShelf learns your product, then add one script tag to your app's HTML head. A support widget appears on every page and answers your users automatically, with a free Starter plan to begin.
Create a free HelpShelf account, add your deployed app URL or docs as a source, customize the widget, and copy the embed snippet. In your Bolt project, paste that script tag into the <head> of index.html and redeploy. The widget is then live for every visitor to your app.
No. HelpShelf answers from your content — your deployed app, help docs, or pasted text — not your source code. If you exported your Bolt project to GitHub, you can optionally connect the repo so the agent also learns from your README and docs, but it is never required.
It escalates instead of guessing. When the agent is not confident, it hands the conversation to you over email or Telegram and tells the user a human will follow up. Every answer it does give is grounded in your sources with citations, so it will not invent features your Bolt app does not have.
Yes. HelpShelf's Starter plan is free and includes a live widget, AI answers, and your own help center — plenty for most side projects and early MVPs. Paid plans start at $49/mo and are billed per resolved conversation when you need more volume and additional sites.
Yes. Whenever you change features or copy in Bolt and redeploy, re-sync your content in HelpShelf and the agent relearns. You can also review held conversations and correct answers, which sharpens future responses over time.
