Embed your WhisperChat AI chatbot on any WordPress site. Just paste your Chatbot ID, enable it, and the widget loads automatically.

== Description ==

WordPress AI Chatbot lets you add your WhisperChat AI chatbot to your WordPress
website without touching any code or editing your theme. Paste your Chatbot ID,
turn it on, and the chat widget loads automatically on the frontend (and
optionally inside the WordPress admin area).

It is the WordPress equivalent of the WhisperChat module for Odoo the same
one-field setup: add the Chatbot ID, toggle it on, done.

**Features**

* One-field setup just paste your Chatbot ID.
* Master on/off switch.
* Choose where the widget loads: public site, admin area, or both.
* Loads the widget script in the footer so it never blocks page rendering.
* No code, no theme edits, no shortcodes required.
* Clean uninstall removes its own option when deleted.

**You need a WhisperChat account.** Create your chatbot and copy its ID from
[whisperchat.ai](https://www.whisperchat.ai).

== External services ==

This plugin connects to **WhisperChat**, a third-party AI chatbot service, so
that the chat widget can run on your site. This connection is required for the
plugin to do anything without it, there is no chatbot.

What the plugin does:

* When the chatbot is enabled, the plugin adds a small loader script,
  `https://widget.whisperchat.ai/embed.js`, to the pages you select. The
  Chatbot ID you enter is passed to that script so it knows which chatbot to
  display.
* When a visitor opens and uses the chat widget, their messages (and any
  contact details they choose to provide, such as name, email, or phone) are
  sent to WhisperChat's servers in order to generate AI responses and, where
  enabled in your WhisperChat account, to capture leads.

No visitor data is sent until the chatbot is enabled in the plugin settings and
a visitor actually interacts with the widget on the selected pages.

This service is provided by WhisperChat / Terabits Technolab. By using this
plugin you agree to their terms and privacy policy:

Sign in to your WhisperChat dashboard at [https://www.whisperchat.ai](https://www.whisperchat.ai) and copy
the ID of the chatbot you want to embed.
