Frequently asked questions

Does it require an OpenAI or ChatGPT subscription?

No. This chatbot is entirely rule-based — you define the conversation tree and the plugin follows it exactly. There are no API keys, no monthly fees, and no data sent to third-party AI services.

Will it slow down my site?

No. The widget script is loaded asynchronously and the conversation nodes are lazy-loaded via a lightweight REST API endpoint only when the user first opens the chat. The impact on page load time is negligible.

Can I have multiple chatbots for different pages?

The current free version uses one global conversation tree. Page-specific chatbots and conditional display rules are planned for the pro version.

What happens if a visitor clicks "Contact on WhatsApp"?

A new tab opens with a pre-filled WhatsApp message directed to your business number. The message is customisable and can include dynamic variables like the visitor's last chatbot response.
