AI Sections¶
AI Sections displays clickable question prompts on your website that open the Rose chat widget with a pre-filled question. This helps guide visitors toward relevant topics.
How It Works¶
- Rose adds a section with question buttons to your page
- When visitors click a question, the chat widget opens with that question
- The AI responds immediately
Managing AI Sections¶
AI Sections are managed from the Rose dashboard. Log in at app.userose.ai and click AI Sections in the left sidebar under Website Agent.
Sections List¶
The main page shows all your AI sections in a table:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Section ID | Unique identifier used in the embed code |
| Title | The heading displayed above questions |
| Questions | Number of questions (and whether a search bar is included) |
| Layout | Stacked (vertical) or Inline (horizontal) |
| Status | Enabled or Disabled |
| Actions | Edit, Duplicate, or Delete the section |
Click + Add Section to create a new section.
Creating a Section¶
- Click + Add Section
- Enter a Section ID (slug) — this is the unique identifier used in the embed code. Use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores (e.g.,
pricing-faq,homepage-hero) - The Embed code appears automatically — copy it and add it to your website HTML
- Toggle Enabled to make the section live
Naming your sections
Use descriptive IDs that indicate where the section appears or what topic it covers, like homepage-hero, features-faq, or pricing-questions.
Managing Questions¶
The Questions section lets you configure the title and question prompts displayed to visitors.
- Language tabs: English (required), French, German, Spanish, and Italian. The widget automatically shows questions in the visitor's browser language, falling back to English
- Title: The heading displayed above the question buttons (optional)
- Questions: The clickable prompts. Add or remove questions using the + and × buttons
- At least one English question is required (unless the search bar is enabled)
Search Bar¶
Toggle Show search bar to add an open-ended search input where visitors can type their own questions.
- Placeholder text: Customize the placeholder per language (default: "Ask a question...")
- Position: Configure where the search bar appears (top or bottom) in the Styling section
When the search bar is enabled, predefined questions become optional — the section can show only the search bar if you prefer.
Styling¶
The Styling section provides visual controls for customizing the appearance of your AI section:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Stacked (one question per line) or Inline (questions wrap horizontally) | Stacked |
| Search Bar Position | Where the search bar appears relative to questions | Bottom |
| Primary Color | Accent color for icons and highlights | #006967 |
| Background Color | Section container background | Transparent |
| Button Background | Question button background color | #FFFFFF |
| Button Text Color | Text color inside question buttons | #1a1a1a |
| Title Color | Color of the section title | #003E3F |
| Gap | Space between question buttons | 12px |
| Font Size | Button text font size | 20px |
| Font Weight | Button text weight | 400 |
| Icon Size | Sparkle icon size in pixels | 20 |
| Arrow Size | Arrow icon size in pixels | 24 |
Live Preview¶
As you edit questions, styling, or CSS, the Preview panel on the right side of the form updates in real time. Click the expand icon to see a larger preview.
Enabling and Disabling¶
Each section has an Enabled toggle. When disabled, the section won't appear on your website even if the embed code is present. The status is shown as a green "Enabled" or gray "Disabled" badge in the sections list.
This is useful for preparing sections before they go live, or temporarily hiding a section without removing the embed code from your site.
Duplicating and Deleting¶
- Duplicate: Click the copy icon in the list to create a copy of a section. The new section's ID is suffixed with
-copy. Change the ID and adjust settings as needed. - Delete: Click the trash icon and confirm. This cannot be undone.
Embedding AI Sections¶
AI Sections is included in the Rose widget. Configure your questions and styling in the Rose dashboard under AI Sections, then add the embed code to your website:
<!-- Option 1: Auto-discover specific sections by ID -->
<div data-rose-section="homepage-hero"></div>
<!-- Option 2: Load all sections for your domain -->
<div id="rose-ai-sections-container"></div>
Tip
The embed code for each section is displayed in the dashboard when you create or edit a section, with a copy button for convenience.
Custom CSS¶
For advanced styling beyond the color pickers and sizing controls, you can write custom CSS in the Custom CSS section of the form. The CSS editor validates your input in real time and shows errors if the syntax is invalid.
CSS Format¶
Use the following CSS classes to target specific parts of the section:
/* Section container - background, padding, borders */
.ai-sections-container {
background: #your-color;
border-radius: 16px;
}
/* Title above the questions */
.ai-sections-title {
color: #your-color;
font-size: 24px;
}
/* Question buttons */
.ai-sections-button {
background: #your-color;
border-radius: 9999px;
}
/* Button text */
.ai-sections-button-text {
color: #your-color;
font-size: 18px;
}
/* Sparkle icon color */
.ai-sections-button {
--ai-sections-sparkle-color: #your-color;
}
/* Arrow icon */
.ai-sections-arrow {
opacity: 0.6;
}

CSS Variables¶
For the sparkle icon color, use a CSS variable:
Responsive Behavior¶
AI Sections is fully responsive out of the box. The component automatically adjusts for smaller screens:
| Viewport | Adjustments |
|---|---|
| ≤768px (tablet) | Reduced padding, font size 16px |
| ≤480px (phone) | Compact padding, font size 14px |
Button text wraps naturally on narrow screens.
Custom Mobile Styling¶
If you set fixed font sizes in your CSS, add responsive overrides to ensure they work on mobile:
/* Desktop styles */
.ai-sections-button-text {
font-size: 20px !important;
}
/* Tablet and smaller */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.ai-sections-button-text {
font-size: 16px !important;
}
.ai-sections-search-input {
font-size: 16px !important;
}
}
/* Phone */
@media (max-width: 480px) {
.ai-sections-button-text {
font-size: 14px !important;
}
.ai-sections-search-input {
font-size: 14px !important;
}
}
Hiding on Mobile¶
To completely hide AI Sections on mobile devices, contact your Rose account manager to enable the disableOnMobile option.
Hiding the Section When the Widget Is Hidden¶
When the Rose widget bar is hidden (e.g., on certain pages or for certain visitors), the AI section collapses automatically. However, the wrapper element on your page remains visible, potentially leaving empty space.
To solve this, wrap the section container in a hidden element:
Then enable the "Unhide parent container" toggle in the section's Styling settings in the Rose dashboard. When enabled:
- The hidden wrapper is automatically shown when the widget is active
- The wrapper is re-hidden when the widget becomes inactive
- Any CSS hiding method works:
display: none,visibility: hidden,opacity: 0,hiddenattribute, oraria-hidden="true"
Previewing Disabled Sections¶
You can preview disabled AI sections on your live website before enabling them for visitors. Preview mode only affects your current browser tab — other visitors will not see disabled sections. This lets you verify that everything looks correct without affecting the public experience.
How to Preview¶
- Open your website in the browser
- Open the browser developer console:
- Chrome/Edge: Press
F12or right-click → Inspect → Console tab - Firefox: Press
F12→ Console tab - Safari: Enable developer tools in Preferences → Advanced, then press
Cmd+Option+C
- Chrome/Edge: Press
-
Type the following and press Enter:
-
All AI sections will appear, including disabled ones
Exiting Preview¶
To hide disabled sections again, either:
- Type
window.RoseSections.exitPreview()in the console - Refresh the page
Note
Preview mode runs entirely in your browser. It does not change any settings or make disabled sections visible to other visitors.
Typical Workflow¶
- Create your AI sections in the Rose dashboard and leave them disabled
- Add the embed code to your website (e.g.,
<div data-rose-section="my-section"></div>) - Visit your website and use
window.RoseSections.preview()to check that sections render correctly - Iterate on questions, styling, and placement in the dashboard
- When satisfied, enable the sections in the dashboard to make them visible to all visitors
Need Help?¶
Most AI Sections settings can be managed directly from the Rose dashboard. If you need help with site-level configuration (like hiding on mobile) or have questions, contact your Rose account manager.
