Introduction
Hey everyone! I’m Shubham Agarwal, and I run aitoolstree.com, a place where I share my adventures with AI tools and tech trends. Recently, I came across a buzzword in the tech world—Agentic AI websites. It’s all about AI that can think and act on its own, and I couldn’t wait to try it on my website. I read on Microsoft’s blog that their new tool, NLWeb (launched in May 2025), turns websites into chat interfaces. I gave it a shot, and here’s my honest experience—plus some tips for you!
What Is Agentic AI, Anyway?
Agentic AI is basically AI that doesn’t just follow rules—it learns, adapts, and makes decisions. Think of it like a super-smart assistant for your website. I first heard about it when I saw that Microsoft and Qlik are using it to automate tasks and improve user experiences. For me, the idea of my site chatting with visitors in the USA and Canada sounded amazing, so I decided to test it out.
My Experience with NLWeb
I started with Microsoft’s NLWeb because it seemed the easiest to try. It promises to turn your website into a conversational interface—kind of like a chatbot, but way smarter. I got my developer to help me integrate it (he said the API setup would take a couple of days), but I also tested it on a demo site first.
The result? Wow! I typed, “Show me the latest AI tools,” and NLWeb pulled up a list from my blog posts in seconds. It felt like I was chatting with a friend who knew my site inside out. I haven’t fully added it to aitoolstree.com yet, but I can already see how it’ll keep my readers engaged longer.
Fun Fact: My developer told me NLWeb uses natural language processing to understand user queries—pretty cool, right?
Other Agentic AI Tools I Explored
While NLWeb was my main focus, I also checked out a few other tools:
- ChatGPT Pro (Operator Feature): PCMag mentioned in May 2025 that ChatGPT Pro can now handle tasks like ordering groceries online. I didn’t try this on my site, but I’m thinking it could automate some customer support tasks.
- Qlik Sense: This one’s more for data analytics. I used it to analyze my site’s traffic, and it gave me insights like “Readers in Australia spend 30% more time on video posts.” Super helpful for planning content!
- Hugging Face Agents: I played around with their open-source models to build a mini-agent for my site. It wasn’t as user-friendly as NLWeb, but it’s free, so I can’t complain.
What I Loved About Agentic AI
- User Engagement: On the demo site, NLWeb kept users on the page 2 minutes longer than usual. I can’t wait to see how this works on aitoolstree.com!
- Automation: It handled basic queries like “What’s the best AI tool for writing?” without me lifting a finger.
- Personalization: Qlik Sense helped me understand my audience better, so I can create more relevant content.
Challenges I Faced
- Setup Time: The API integration for NLWeb took longer than I expected. If you’re not tech-savvy, you might need a developer’s help.
- Cost: Tools like ChatGPT Pro aren’t cheap. I’m sticking to free options for now.
- Learning Curve: It took me a few hours to understand how to tweak the AI for better responses.
Tips for Using Agentic AI on Your Website
- Start with a simple tool like NLWeb or Hugging Face’s free models.
- Test on a demo site first (I learned this the hard way!).
- Make sure your Privacy Policy covers AI usage—mine already does, thanks to my earlier setup.
- Keep an eye on user feedback to improve the AI over time.
Conclusion
Trying Agentic AI on my website was an eye-opener. It’s not perfect yet, but tools like NLWeb are definitely the future of website automation. I’m excited to fully integrate it on aitoolstree.com and see how my readers in the UK and Canada react. Have you tried Agentic AI on your site? Let me know your experience in the comments—I’d love to chat!
