Description

Boto AI Pilot adds a floating chat widget to your site that answers visitor questions about your services and pricing, and captures contact details from interested visitors directly into your WordPress dashboard.

The plugin works with either the OpenAI API or the Google Gemini API — you provide your own key for whichever you prefer. To keep API costs down, it only sends the model a small, relevant slice of your business information for each question (services, FAQs, or contact details, depending on what the visitor asked) rather than your full knowledge base on every request. Common chit-chat (greetings, thanks) and high-confidence FAQ matches are answered locally without calling the API at all.

If no API key is configured, the widget still works using a local keyword-matching fallback against the services and FAQs you’ve entered — it simply won’t have full conversational ability.

Developed as part of the Thaikadar ( ٹھیکیدار ) Marketplace initiative, an effort to release self-hosted, GPL-licensed WordPress tools for the community.

Key Features

  • Guided Setup Wizard: A short setup flow for your API key, business profile, and widget appearance.
  • Cost-Conscious Context System: Multi-signal intent detection selects only the relevant slice of your business data per message, instead of sending your full knowledge base on every request.
  • Configurable AI Persona: Set a business category (real estate, healthcare, retail, agency, and others) and a bot name/tone; the assistant adapts its focus and vocabulary accordingly.
  • Language Control: Reply language can auto-match the visitor’s message (English, Roman Urdu, or Urdu script) or be locked to one language.
  • Intent-Based Lead Triggers: Detects buying signals (pricing questions, booking requests) and surfaces an in-chat lead form at the right moment rather than immediately.
  • Leads Inbox: Review captured leads with lead scores, full chat transcripts, and one-click WhatsApp / email contact links.
  • Site Content Scanner: One-click parsing of published Pages, Posts, and WooCommerce products into editable context snippets the assistant can reference.
  • Widget Customizer: Choose the widget’s accent color, screen position, avatar, and greeting message.

Third-Party Services

This plugin can optionally connect to a third-party AI API to generate conversational responses. No data is sent to any external service until you enter your own API key in Settings. Without a key, the plugin uses only its local keyword-matching fallback.

  1. OpenAI API (optional)

    • Service Provider: OpenAI, L.L.C.
    • Purpose: Natural-language chat completion for visitor questions.
    • Data Transmitted: The visitor’s chat messages and the business context you’ve configured in the plugin (services, FAQs, contact info). No passwords or WordPress user account data are transmitted.
    • Terms of Service: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/
    • Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/

  2. Google Gemini API (optional)

    • Service Provider: Google LLC
    • Purpose: Natural-language chat completion for visitor questions, as an alternative to OpenAI.
    • Data Transmitted: The visitor’s chat messages and the business context you’ve configured in the plugin.
    • Terms of Service: https://ai.google.dev/terms
    • Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Only one provider is called per message, determined by which API key format you’ve entered. You are responsible for that provider’s usage costs and for complying with their terms.

  1. Upload the boto-ai-pilot directory to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Boto AI Pilot in your admin sidebar.
  4. Run the Setup Wizard to add your API key (optional) and business profile.
  5. Save — the floating widget appears on your site immediately.
Is this plugin free and open source?

Yes. It’s released under GPLv2 as part of the Thaikadar ( ٹھیکیدار ) Marketplace initiative.

Does this plugin send visitor data anywhere?

Only if you configure an OpenAI or Gemini API key in Settings. In that case, visitor chat messages and the business context you’ve entered (not passwords or account data) are sent to whichever provider’s key you supplied, for the sole purpose of generating a reply. See “Third-Party Services” above for details. Without a key, everything runs locally on your server using keyword matching.

Do I need a paid API key?

No — both OpenAI and Google Gemini offer free-tier API keys suitable for testing and light usage. You can also run the plugin with no key at all using the local fallback.

How does the cost optimization work?

Rather than sending your full knowledge base with every message, the plugin detects the visitor’s intent (pricing, services, contact, etc.) and includes only the small, relevant slice of context needed to answer it. Greetings, thanks, and high-confidence FAQ matches are answered without an API call at all.
