The app shows these steps as a checklist on the home page when you first install it.\
This article covers the same ground, in case you dismissed it or want more detail.

> 📷  The onboarding checklist on the app home page.

## 1. Index a product

Go to **Products**, add a product from your catalog, and index it. Indexing is what\
builds the knowledge base, and until a product has one, the widget won't show up on\
its page at all.

Start with a single product so you can see what the output looks like before\
spending your allowance on the whole catalog. See\
[How product indexing works](/hc/askanyai/en/articles/how-indexing-works).

## 2. Choose your AI providers

Go to **Settings → Manage providers** and tick the AIs you want shoppers to be able\
to ask. Then set the **Default AI provider**, which is the one already selected when\
the widget loads. Most shoppers never change it, so pick carefully.

Arus AI needs a paid plan. On the free plan it's visible but locked. See\
[Choose which AI providers shoppers can use](/hc/askanyai/en/articles/choose-ai-providers).

## 3. Add the widget to your theme

The app can't put itself on your product page, so you add it once in the theme\
editor. The **Add widget to theme** button on the home page opens the editor in the\
right place.

See [Add the widget to your product pages](/hc/askanyai/en/articles/add-widget-to-theme).

## 4. Check that it's live

Open one of your indexed products on your actual storefront. The widget should be\
sitting there with your heading and your default provider selected.

If it isn't, the app home page has a check that looks at your published theme for\
the widget. [The widget isn't appearing](/hc/askanyai/en/articles/widget-not-showing)\
covers what usually goes wrong.

## After that

Index the rest of your catalog once you're happy with how the first few turned out,\
then keep an eye on the **Questions** tab. What shoppers actually ask is usually the\
quickest way to work out what your product pages are missing.
