## May 2026

### Widget Context Placeholders for Chatbot Prompts

<Badge>New</Badge>

Chat widget prompts can now use page and custom context placeholders, so one agent can adapt to different pages, locations, departments, or campaigns without duplicating the agent.

**Highlights:**

* Built-in placeholders for `{{ page_url }}`, `{{ page_origin }}`, and `{{ page_path }}`
* Custom context values can be passed through `humanizing.init("YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY", { context: { ... } })`
* Prompt authors add placeholders in **Playground → Instructions (System prompt)**
* Full setup is documented in [Widget Context](/chat-widget/context)
