How do I ship my first CMD+K assistant in 5 minutes?

What do you need before you start?

• A site you can edit HTML on (any framework — the snippet is plain HTML).
• A public URL or sitemap with content the assistant can ground its answers in.
• A modern browser. That's it — no API keys, no backend setup for the read-only path.

Seven steps from zero to a live assistant

1. Create a workspace. Sign up at commandplusk.com and confirm your email. You land in /dashboard with an empty workspace.
2. Open the Quickstart. Click 'Quickstart' in the sidebar. It tracks the seven launch steps and surfaces the right CTA each time.
3. Create your first assistant. Click 'Create Assistant'. Pick a template (Support / Onboarding / Docs / Blank), name it, set a greeting, and pick an accent color.
4. Add a knowledge source. Go to Knowledge → Add source, paste a URL or sitemap and tick the assistants that should see it. Indexing runs in the background; small sites finish in under a minute.
5. Copy the embed snippet. On the assistant detail page, open the Install panel and copy the <script> tag with your widgetId baked in.
6. Paste before </body>. Drop the snippet on any page of your site. The first time the page loads in a real browser, we stamp first_embedded_at and the Quickstart Embed step turns green.
7. Open your site and ask a question. Reload, click the floating launcher, and ask something covered by your docs. The assistant cites the sources it used.

What does the embed snippet look like?

The Install panel generates this for you with your widgetId already filled in. Paste it once before the closing </body> tag on any page where the widget should appear:

<script
  async
  src="https://commandplusk.com/embed/widget.js"
  data-cmdk-widget="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"
></script>

What should you see when it's working?

• A floating launcher button appears on the page where you pasted the snippet.
• Clicking it opens a chat panel branded with your accent color and greeting.
• Within ~30 seconds of the first real page load, the Embed step in Quickstart turns green and shows the first-seen timestamp.

If it's not working, try this

• Launcher doesn't appear. Check the browser console for CSP errors. Allow https://commandplusk.com as a script and frame source.
• Embed step won't go green. Auto-detection requires a real browser load on a non-localhost origin. Deploy to a staging URL or use a tunneled domain.
• Assistant answers "I don't know". Open Knowledge and confirm the source status is Ready. If it's still Indexing, wait a minute.
