Sherlock Goes Off-App: Embed Your AI Agent on Any Website 🕵️
Your event app was never the only place people look for answers: some guests never install it, some just want a quick check before they commit to downloading anything. Until now, Sherlock couldn't follow them there. That gap closes today: enable guest mode, grab an embed snippet from Studio, and Sherlock shows up wherever you already have a website.
What's New
- One toggle, one snippet: turn on Guest mode for Sherlock in Studio and an embed code section appears, giving you a copyable snippet scoped to your event.
- Guest-scoped answers: Sherlock only draws on content you've explicitly marked "available for guests" in Studio. Nothing else leaks through.
- White-label aware: "Powered by Swapcard" shows on standard events and disappears automatically if your event is white-labeled.
- Fresh start, every time: no conversation history carries over between visits, so every session starts clean.
How It Works
- Open the AI Agent page in Studio with Sherlock enabled.
- Turn on Guest mode: the embed code section unlocks.
- Copy the snippet; it's already scoped to your event.
- Paste it into your website.
- Mark the content you want Sherlock to use as available for guests in Studio, so it has something to answer with.
- Scoped content only: even with the widget live, Sherlock will only ever surface guest-accessible content; anything not marked for guests stays out of the conversation entirely.
- Feedback built in: the same suggestions, app-support answers, chat, and thumbs up / thumbs down controls guests get in the app carry over to the embedded widget.
- No content marked yet? No problem, sort of: the embed still generates and works technically, but Sherlock won't have anything to answer with until you flag content as guest-available.
Why Organizers Will Love It
Your website is real estate you already own and control, and now it can answer attendee questions before they've even considered the app. It's a lower-friction first touchpoint for prospects browsing pre-event, and a safety net for onsite guests who'd rather not install anything. Same AI agent, same guardrails on what it can share, just meeting people where they already are.
💡 Pro tip: Mark your guest-accessible content in Studio before you flip on Guest mode, an embedded Sherlock with nothing to say is a rough first impression.
💡 Pro tip: This is a great addition to a pre-event landing page, let prospects get quick answers about the event without the "download our app first" wall.
