Add web widget -type integration

You currently support Slack and Messenger integration out of the box. I know you have a GitHub based web widget project, but it would still be very very useful to add an out of the box web widget -type integration, to make it easy to deploy Assistant-based chatbots to websites. There are many chat platforms out there and many support this feature. In your forums you cite the argument that developing one's own web/HTML widget gives greater control. Well this might be true in some cases, but if you had a good, configurable web widget, the control would still be there, but life would be so much easier for users.Google's and Amazon's conversational offerings both include this. Your current onlien preview chat is not too user friendlz compared to what other chat platforms can do.

    There are various ways to add a web widget-type integration to a website or application. Here are a few examples:

    1. JavaScript widgets: These are small pieces of code that can be embedded in a web page using a script tag. The code can be hosted on a third-party server or on the website's own server.

    2. Iframe widgets: These are HTML iframes that can be embedded in a web page to display content from another website. They can be used to display a variety of different types of content, including maps, videos, and social media feeds.

    3. HTML widget: HTML widgets are a type of integration that allows you to embed your own HTML code into a website. This can be useful if you want to add custom functionality that is not available through other types of widgets.

    4. Widget plugin: There are many widget plugin available for different platforms like WordPress, Shopify etc. to add different type of functionality in the website .

    It is important to note that each of these methods has its own set of pros and cons, and the best option will depend on the specific requirements of your project.
