Chat widgets that sit on your site and talk to visitors on your behalf, trained on your own pages, posts and product catalogue so answers come from your actual content rather than a generic script. They’re the first line of customer support and lead capture for a lot of small business sites. Most connect to a mainstream AI model (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude and others) using your own API key, and pricing usually follows a free-but-limited tier with a paid upgrade for deeper training or WooCommerce features. Some, like Fabio, Zeno, WPBot and Crisp, are general-purpose support bots; others, like Emporiqa, Storebird, MxChat, WoowBot and Amaya Chatbot AI, are built specifically to sell, answering product questions, comparing items and adding to cart inside the chat window.
