  const inkeepScript = document.createElement("script");
  inkeepScript.src = "https://unpkg.com/@inkeep/uikit-js@0.3.18/dist/embed.js";
  inkeepScript.type = "module";
  inkeepScript.defer = true;
  document.head.appendChild(inkeepScript);

  // Configure and initialize the widget
  const addInkeepWidget = () => {
    const inkeepWidget = Inkeep().embed({
      componentType: "ChatButton",
      colorModeSync: {
        observedElement: document.documentElement,
        isDarkModeCallback: (el) => {
          const currentTheme = el.getAttribute("data-color-mode");
          return currentTheme === "dark";
        },
        colorModeAttribute: "data-color-mode",
      },
      properties: {
        chatButtonType: "PILL",
        baseSettings: {
          apiKey: "INKEEP_API_KEY", // required
          integrationId: "INKEEP_INTEGRATION_ID", // required
          organizationId: "INKEEP_ORGANIZATION_ID", // required
          primaryBrandColor: "#26D6FF", // your brand color, widget color scheme is derived from this
          organizationDisplayName: "Inkeep",
          // ...optional settings
        },
        modalSettings: {
          // optional settings
        },
        searchSettings: {
          // optional settings
        },
        aiChatSettings: {
          // optional settings
          botAvatarSrcUrl: "https://mydomain.com/mylogo", // use your own bot avatar
          quickQuestions: [
            "Example question 1?",
            "Example question 2?",
            "Example question 3?",
          ],
        },
      },
    });
