Why WordPress sites need an AI chatbot
WordPress powers 43% of all websites. Whether you run a business site, an online store, or a service company's landing page — your visitors have questions. An AI chatbot answers them instantly, 24/7, without you lifting a finger.
No coding. No developers. No monthly fees for a support team. Just a plugin and five minutes.
Step 1: Install the MyChat plugin
Go to your WordPress admin panel. Navigate to Plugins → Add New. Search for "MyChat" or download the plugin ZIP from your MyChat dashboard.
- Click Upload Plugin and select the ZIP file
- Click Install Now
- Click Activate
That's it — the plugin is active. You'll see a new MyChat item in your sidebar.
Step 2: Connect your site
Open the MyChat plugin settings. You'll need one thing: your Site Token. Here's where to find it:
- Log in to your MyChat dashboard at mychat.ee
- Go to My Sites
- Copy the Site Token (it looks like `site_a8f3e2...`)
- Paste it into the plugin's token field
- Click Save
The plugin automatically connects to your MyChat account and loads your bot's configuration.
Step 3: Customize the widget
Before saving, you can adjust:
- Position — bottom-right or bottom-left
- Popup or Inline — floating bubble or embedded in a page
- Colors — automatically matches your site, or set manually
Your bot's welcome message, system prompt, and lead form settings are all managed from the MyChat dashboard — no need to touch WordPress again.
Step 4: Verify it works
Open your website in a new tab (or incognito window). You should see the chat widget in the corner. Click it, type a question — the AI responds based on your website content.
If you've already indexed your site through MyChat's RAG feature, the bot knows your pages, prices, and services. If not, it uses the system prompt you configured.
Common questions
Does it slow down my site?
No. The widget loads asynchronously — it doesn't block your page from rendering. The script is under 30KB.
Does it work with page builders?
Yes. Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Gutenberg — the widget uses Shadow DOM, so it's completely isolated from your theme's CSS. No conflicts.
Can I show it only on certain pages?
Yes. The plugin settings let you enable popup mode, inline mode, or both. For inline, add a shortcode to any page.
What about WooCommerce?
MyChat has built-in WooCommerce support. The bot can search your product catalog and show product cards directly in the chat.

- It captures leads and sends them to your Telegram
