Google Chat

Add your AI chatbot to Google Chat spaces or message it directly. Perfect for teams using Google Workspace — the bot can answer questions, share knowledge, and hand over to a human, all inside Google Chat.

What you need

• A Google Workspace account

• A paid plan on AI Bot Kit (Basic, Essential, or Business)

How to connect

Step 1 — Install the AI BotKit app in Google Chat

2. Click the + button to start a new chat or space.

3. Search for "AI BotKit" in the app directory.

4. Click Install to add the AI BotKit app.

Step 2 — Connect to your chatbot

1. After installing, the AI BotKit app will send you a connection link in Google Chat.

2. Click the link. It opens AI Bot Kit in your browser.

3. Select the chatbot you want to connect and confirm.

4. The integration card shows Connected.

How to add the bot to a space

1. Open the Google Chat space where you want the bot.

2. At the top of the space, click the space name → Apps.

3. Click Add apps.

4. Search for "AI BotKit".

5. Click Add.

6. The bot is now in the space. Anyone can mention it by typing @AI BotKit followed by their question.

How to add the bot for everyone in your workspace (admins only)

If you are a Google Workspace admin, you can install the AI BotKit app for all users in your organization so they do not have to install it themselves.

1. Go to the Google Workspace Admin Console.

2. Click Apps → Google Workspace → Google Chat.

3. Click App Management.

4. Search for "AI BotKit".

5. Click on the app, then change the status to "On for everyone" or "On for selected organizational units".

6. Click Save.

Now every user in your workspace can:

• Start a direct message with AI BotKit

• Add it to any space they are in

• Mention it without needing to install anything first

How to use it

• In a space: Type @AI BotKit followed by your question. The bot will reply in the space.

• Direct message: Open a DM with the AI BotKit app. Every message you send goes to the chatbot.

Tips

• One space at a time. You can add the bot to multiple spaces, but each space connects to the same chatbot.

• Reinstall if needed. If you disconnect the integration from AI Bot Kit, you can reinstall the app from Google Chat and reconnect using the new link.

• Removing the bot from a space. Go to the space → click the space name → Apps → find AI BotKit → click the three dots → Remove.

Limits

• Every bot reply counts toward your Monthly AI Messages quota.
