How do I add an AI chatbot to WordPress?

Botvee is a no-code AI chatbot that trains on your own content and answers visitors in about 3 seconds. To add it to WordPress, you'll create a free account, train an agent on your pages, install the plugin, and click connect. It's live in under 5 minutes — no code, no theme edits.

Before you start you'll need a WordPress site where you're an admin (WooCommerce works too), your website URL, and about five minutes.

No website? Read our guide on connecting Botvee to WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram instead — no site required.

Open Botvee and click Get Started

Head to Botvee and click Get Started in the top-right corner.

Create your free account

You can sign up two ways: click Continue with Google to register in one tap, or fill in your details manually below — first name, last name, email, date of birth, and a password. Either way, you get a 7-day free trial and no credit card is required to start.

Create your AI agent

In the dashboard, open My AI Agents and click Create agent.

Pick a template and add details

The template picker opens on the left with 10+ ready-made templates — Dental Clinic, Real Estate, E-Commerce Store, Restaurant, Law Firm and more. Pick the one that matches your field, or click Start from Scratch to build your own.

Either way, the details form opens on the right. Enter your agent's name and website URL (skip the URL if you don't have a site), choose the tone, and review the system prompt — it's pre-filled from the template, so just add any extra guidelines. Click Next Step.

Train it on your site

On the Knowledge Library step, select the pages Botvee crawled, or Upload your own PDFs and FAQs, then click Create & Train AI Agent.

Let it train

Botvee crawls your pages and builds the knowledge base. In our run it processed 23 pages in under a minute. Once it hits 100%, your agent turns Active. After that, click Playground.

Test it in the Playground

Before going live, open Playground and chat with your agent to make sure the answers are right.

Connect WordPress from Integrations

Go to Integrations, find the WordPress card and click Connect. In the pop-up, click Open in WordPress. Not on WordPress? The same page has a Custom Website option that embeds Botvee with a single script tag (plain HTML, React, Next.js and more).

In your WordPress admin the plugin search opens on Botvee AI Agent. Click Install Now, then Activate — a free, one-click install from the WordPress plugin directory.

You're live

That's it. Visit your site and the chat bubble is there in the corner — answering instantly, recommending products, and pulling real details from the pages you trained it on.

Do I need a website to use Botvee?

No. If you don't have a website yet, you can still train your AI agent on documents — PDFs, FAQs, price lists — and add it to WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram instead. A website is optional, not required.

What your Botvee AI agent can do

  • Answers from your own content — replies only from your pages and uploaded documents.
  • Human handoff — flags complex or high-value chats and passes them to your team inbox with the full transcript.
  • Lead capture & scoring — collects contact details mid-chat and scores intent.
  • Meeting booking — books into Google Calendar and exports leads to Google Sheets.
  • E-commerce tasks — order tracking, abandoned-cart recovery, COD confirmation, and back-in-stock alerts for WooCommerce and Shopify.
  • Every channel — website, WordPress, custom sites, Shopify, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and email.
  • Multilingual — replies in the customer's language, including English, Urdu, and Roman Urdu.
  • Analytics — resolution rate, response time, CSAT, and lead outcomes in one dashboard.

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and no credit card. Paid plans are 20% cheaper billed annually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding skills to set this up?

No. The whole flow is point-and-click: connect your account, install the plugin, and click connect. No theme edits and nothing to paste.

How long does training take?

Usually a minute or two. In our test Botvee crawled and processed 23 pages in under 60 seconds, then the agent went live immediately.

Can one agent work on WhatsApp and my website at the same time?

Yes. The same trained agent runs across your website, WordPress, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and email — you connect each channel from the Integrations page.

Is my data secure?

Botvee encrypts data in transit and at rest, supports two-factor authentication and role-based access, and only uses your content to answer your own visitors.
