Give Stelt its own place to talk
The website widget brings Stelt into your site. The standalone assistant gives the same business-trained assistant a dedicated conversational destination — a link you can share so people talk to it directly, without navigating your website first.
One assistant, two ways to meet it
You train and configure your assistant once. From there, there are two ways for people to meet it — the same assistant, two surfaces, not two products to build.
A direct conversational destination
The standalone assistant is simply its own web page — a URL you can open directly. It uses your business’s public ID (the same one the widget uses), so it looks like this:
Nothing to install for the visitor. Open the link, the dedicated assistant loads full-screen, and they can start asking straight away. (The business ID is a public identifier, not a secret.)
Share it anywhere a link makes sense
Because it’s a URL, you can share it anywhere you’d normally share a web link:
A website button
Link to it from a page or a “talk to us” button.
Drop it in a signature, newsletter or reply.
A social bio
Link in bio, a post, or a profile.
A slide or brochure
A live assistant from a deck or PDF.
A campaign link
Point an ad or landing link straight at it.
A QR code
Generate a QR (any tool) that opens the link, for print.
Illustrative placements. Stelt gives you the assistant and the link — it doesn’t send emails, post to social, generate QR codes, or run campaigns for you.
Straight to the conversation
The appeal is directness. Instead of asking someone to find the assistant inside a bigger site, the link drops them right into the conversation — good for a plain “Ask us about our services,” a “help me understand my options” destination, or a quick way to let people ask before they contact you. (It’s a better entry point, not a promise of more conversions.)
What visitors can do there
The standalone page runs the same assistant as the widget, so the visitor experience carries over — verified as the same, not assumed:
Type questions
Ask in the text box, any time.
Talk
Voice input where the browser supports it (HTTPS).
Learn more →Hear answers
Spoken replies in your configured voice.
Grounded answers
From your trained business information.
Learn more →See content
Configured pages, media and documents.
Learn more →Send an inquiry
Open a configured form to your dashboard.
Learn more →The knowledge stays with the assistant
You don’t build a second knowledge base for the standalone page. Train the assistant once — website content, documents, notes — and make it available through the widget, the standalone link, or both. It’s the same knowledge and training either way.
Standalone vs the website widget
They’re two entry points to the same assistant — neither is “better,” they fit different moments:
| Website widget | Standalone assistant |
|---|---|
| Assistant lives inside your existing website | A dedicated Stelt chat URL of its own |
| Visitor converses while staying on your site | Visitor opens it directly — no site needed |
| Added with one script; JS API on the page | Nothing to install for the visitor to reach it |
| Best when people are already on your site | Best as a direct, shareable destination |
Adding it to a site instead? See the website widget.
What standalone is — and isn’t
Plainly, so expectations are right:
| Standalone is | It isn’t (today) |
|---|---|
| A dedicated URL for your Stelt assistant | A custom-domain microsite or white-label portal |
| A direct way to reach the configured assistant | Custom-logo hosting or full re-skinning |
| Shareable like any normal web link | A social / email / QR marketing platform |
| Complementary to the embedded widget | A replacement for your whole website |
| The same assistant on a different surface | A booking system, CRM, or live-agent service |
Useful across different customer journeys
It earns its place wherever a link is the natural way in: businesses that want a simple direct “Ask us” destination, businesses that lean on social profiles or printed materials more than a big website, and — where it fits — agencies sharing a client’s assistant. It’s the same assistant behind the website assistant, and it works for any business by industry. Building assistants for clients? See running a Stelt agency.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Stelt standalone assistant?
It’s a dedicated web page — its own URL — where people talk or type with your Stelt assistant full-screen. It’s the same assistant as the website widget, just reached directly by link instead of through your site.
Does someone need to visit my website first?
No. The standalone assistant is its own page, so a visitor can open it directly from a link without going through your website at all.
Is standalone the same assistant as my website widget?
Yes — it’s the same assistant on a different surface. The standalone page loads the same assistant as the widget, so there’s nothing separate to build or train.
Does it use the same business knowledge?
Yes. Both the widget and the standalone page draw on the same trained knowledge and configuration — you train once, and it’s available on both.
Can visitors type questions?
Yes — typing works exactly as it does in the widget.
Can visitors talk to it?
Yes — voice input works on the standalone page too, using the browser’s speech recognition on a secure (HTTPS) page, with typing always available as the fallback.
Can it speak answers?
Yes — spoken responses work the same as in the widget, using the voice you’ve configured.
Can it show content?
Yes — Show on Screen works on the standalone page, so Willow can bring up a configured page, image, video or document in the conversation.
Can it capture an inquiry?
Yes — a configured inquiry form can be opened and submitted from the standalone page, and the details reach your Stelt dashboard, just like from the widget.
How do I share the standalone assistant?
It’s a normal URL, so you share it the way you’d share any web link — paste it wherever it’s useful.
Can I use the link in an email or social profile?
Yes — because it’s just a URL, you can put it in an email, a social bio, a message, a slide, or a campaign link. Stelt provides the assistant and the link; it doesn’t send the emails or post to social for you.
Can I point a QR code to it?
Yes — you can create a QR code (with any QR tool) that points to the standalone URL, which is handy for print. Stelt doesn’t generate the QR code itself.
Can I use my own custom domain?
Not at the moment — the standalone assistant lives on a Stelt URL. Custom domains aren’t a supported capability today.
Can I upload my own logo?
Not today. Custom-logo upload and white-label hosting aren’t supported; you can set an accent colour and choose the voice, and your business name shows as text.
Should I use the widget or the standalone assistant?
Use the widget when visitors are already on your website; use the standalone link when you want a direct, shareable destination. Many businesses use both — same assistant, two entry points.
