Summary
AskAiChatis a new export from the published@fern-api/search-widgetnpm package that embeds Ask Fern on its own, without any keyword-search UI. It renders as a floating card anchored to a corner of the viewport (a bottom drawer on small screens), so customers can drop Ask Fern into a product site, dashboard, or marketing site outside their docs site without disturbing that page's layout. Previously the only embeddable option was the full search modal, which forced search-as-a-feature on teams that only wanted Ask Fern.SearchModalis unchanged, and Fern-hosted docs sites are unaffected.Implements docs for: feat(docs): standalone Ask AI chat widget (floating overlay) (fern-api/fern-platform#13748)

Thecustomization/search.mdxpointer already links to the widget page and stays as-is — that section is specifically about search integration.Lint and validate are clean:
