Deployment options
An active AI Fellow can be reached in three different ways. Each one fits a different distribution scenario. You can use more than one for the same Fellow if it makes sense.
| Method | Best for |
|---|---|
| Standalone link | The Fellow's own URL. Anyone with the link opens it in a browser and starts talking: no login if the Fellow is Public, login required if it's Private. Useful for demos, pilots, and quick coaching tools. |
| Embedded widget | A snippet you drop into a page on your own site or LMS. The Fellow lives inside your existing UI. |
| Preview mode | A signed link that opens a non-active Fellow before it's published. Use it to share for review without exposing the Fellow to real users. |
The standalone link and the embedded widget both come from the same Integration Guide modal on the Fellow's monitor page. The modal has two tabs:
- Embed. A
<script>snippet you paste into a page on your own site. - Direct. The Fellow's standalone URL, ready to share.
You can also customise the embed in the same modal: language, whether the widget can stay minimised between pages, and whether to track an external user ID.
The standalone link is usually where to start. If the Fellow is Public, the user doesn't need to set anything up or create an account. When you eventually need attributed progress tracking, deploy the Fellow inside a Learning Path or set its visibility to Private. See Visibility for the details.
