Parelay is a self-hostable live chat, AI assistant, and video-support platform
you embed on any website with a single <script> tag. It ships three surfaces
from one monorepo: an embeddable widget, an agent app (dashboard +
admin), and a server (API, realtime, persistence).
Start here, in order:
- Getting started — prerequisites, install, database, environment, running the dev stack, and creating your first admin.
- Architecture — the packages, the tech stack, and how a visitor message flows through the system.
- Configuration — environment variables and the in-product settings (AI providers, transcription, email, access control).
- Deployment — running Parelay in production.
For questions about integrating the widget on a site, the Integration tab in the admin (Admin → Site → Integration) is the always-current, copy-paste source of truth for the embed snippet and host-page hooks.
