Add customer support to your Bolt app with one script tag
You went from prompt to deployed app with Bolt. Deployed apps get real users — and real users ask real questions. HelpShelf answers supported questions from your content, installs with one script tag, and stops clearly when it cannot verify an answer. With tested Telegram, the visitor can choose to send a handoff.
Can you add customer support to a Bolt app?
Yes. An app built with Bolt (bolt.new) is a standard deployable web app. Point HelpShelf at your live app or docs, then paste a single script tag into your app's HTML head. The widget gives supported answers with citations; when it cannot verify an answer, it can offer a visitor-confirmed handoff only if your tested Telegram destination is reachable. There is a Free 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.
Answers that sell
You shipped it. Now it has to sell.
Most questions on a new Bolt app are not support tickets — they are buying questions from visitors deciding whether to pay. HelpShelf answers them on the spot with cited answers drawn from your own content, nudges the hesitating visitor with a proactive teaser, and can offer follow-up after a confident answer. A lead is recorded only after the visitor submits a valid email. And because every HelpShelf site ships llms.txt and a live MCP server, the AI assistants your buyers use can inspect your product sources when those surfaces are linked or configured. Support questions? The same agent handles those too, included.
Sales mode where it counts
Auto-pinned to your pricing and marketing pages at onboarding — the agent sells there and supports everywhere else.
A nudge for the hesitating visitor
A proactive teaser bubble invites the question that is stopping them from signing up.
Leads, not closed tabs
After a confident answer the agent offers a follow-up — the visitor’s email lands in your dashboard and Telegram.
Sales Pulse on your dashboard
Sales conversations, captured leads, top buying questions, and AI-shopper traffic in one view.
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 indexes that content into a knowledge base — 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
Users can ask supported questions and inspect cited answers. When the agent cannot verify an answer, the visitor can confirm a handoff if your tested Telegram destination is reachable. Every conversation remains reviewable in your inbox.
Built for how you shipped it
Fast to install. Grounded in your content. Stops safely when it cannot verify an answer.
One script tag to install
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, cites the sources behind confident answers, and stops when it cannot verify a feature.
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.
Cites or stops
When an answer cannot be verified, the agent says so and can offer a visitor-confirmed handoff if your tested Telegram connection is reachable.
Free while you validate
Start on the Free plan — right-sized for the MVP you just deployed from Bolt and the first users kicking the tires.
Explicit refresh
After shipping a feature in Bolt, re-sync and review the relevant content before publishing the updated answer source.
Perfect for Bolt builders
Whatever you shipped, your users will have questions
Bolt SaaS MVPs
Add a cited self-service path for supported 'how does this work?' questions in the product you prompted.
Hackathon builds
Ship your demo with a self-service widget so judges and early users can ask supported questions and inspect the cited sources.
Solo founders
Support that runs while you build the next thing or sleep. The agent handles supported repetitive questions and stops on unsupported ones.
Client and freelance projects
Hand off a Bolt build with a working AI support agent already embedded through one script tag.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. An app built with Bolt (bolt.new) is a standard web app. Add your deployed app URL as a source, then place one HelpShelf script tag in the app's HTML head. The widget gives supported answers from your content, with a Free 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.
When the agent cannot verify an answer, it says so rather than presenting an invented feature or step. Every confident answer is grounded in your sources with citations. If your tested Telegram connection is reachable, the visitor can review and confirm a human handoff.
Yes. HelpShelf's Free plan includes a live widget, AI answers, and your own help center — plenty for most side projects and early MVPs. Pro starts at $49/mo with 10,000 AI searches and 2,000 AI chats each month when you need more volume and additional sites.
Whenever you change features or copy in Bolt and redeploy, re-sync and review the relevant content in HelpShelf. New answers use the updated published sources; conversation records and knowledge gaps show what needs attention.
