Once your assistant is ready, there are two ways to get it in front of students: share its permalink, or embed it on a website.

## Option 1: Share the permalink

The simplest option. Every assistant has its dedicated permalink.

1. **Turn on sharing**

    In your assistant's settings, make sure sharing is enabled.

2. **Copy the permalink**

    Copy the permalink and send it wherever your students are — your course
    page, an email, or your learning management system.

3. **Students just click**

    Anyone with the link can open the assistant and start asking questions. No
    account or login required for them.

:::note[Sharing is under your control]
If you turn sharing off, the link stops working. Turn it back on to re-enable access.

## Option 2: Embed it on your website

Embedding puts a small chat button in the corner of your website. Students click it to open the assistant without leaving the page.

1. **Open the embed panel**

    In your assistant's settings, find the embed / share code section.

2. **Copy the snippet**

    The platform generates a ready-made snippet for you — you don't write any
    code. There's a plain HTML version and a React version; use whichever
    matches your site.

3. **Paste it into your site**

    Add the snippet to your web page (or hand it to whoever maintains your
    site). A chat button appears in the corner automatically.

:::tip[Not sure where it goes?]
If your course site is on a platform like WordPress, Canvas, or a school CMS, paste the HTML snippet into a "custom HTML" or "embed code" block. If someone else manages your site, just send them the snippet.

### Making it match your site

Before you copy the snippet, you can style the embedded assistant in your settings — see [Customize › Appearance](/instructors/customize#appearance-for-embedded-assistants). You control:

- Light or dark theme
- Which corner the button sits in
- Button and chat colors

### Voice input

Embedded assistants can support voice input, so students can speak their questions instead of typing. The generated snippet includes what's needed for this — students just need to allow microphone access in their browser.
