Add an AI chatbot to your site in five minutes. Works with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, and any custom site — one line of code, zero developers required.
Most website chatbots are either dumb rule-based flowcharts ("Did you mean: pricing?") or generic AI wrappers that don't know anything about your specific business. Both are frustrating for visitors and useless for conversion.
AI Chatbot Engine takes a different approach. When you add it to your website, we crawl every page you let us — your homepage, product pages, docs, FAQ, blog — and turn them into a knowledge base. Your chatbot then answers visitor questions using your actual content, with citations back to the original pages. If someone asks "do you offer refunds?" it reads your refund policy page and answers correctly. Every time.
And because the embed is a single script tag, it works on any website platform — no WordPress plugin, no Shopify app, no developer install. Paste the line, save the page, and your chatbot is live.
The features that matter, without the enterprise price tag.
One script tag. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, static HTML — if it accepts code, the chatbot works.
Automatically discovers and indexes your pages. Updates when your content changes. No manual knowledge base to maintain.
Sub-2-second response times even on the free plan. Your visitors won't sit watching a loading spinner.
Built-in lead capture, handoff to human chat, and analytics so you can see which questions drive sales vs. confusion.
Match your brand colors, set a custom greeting, upload your logo. Free-plan chatbots don't have to look like free-plan chatbots.
When the AI can't answer, it collects contact info or hands over to your email / helpdesk. No dropped conversations.

Yes. As long as you can add a <script> tag to your site, the chatbot will load. That includes WordPress (no plugin needed), Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, Framer, Carrd, and any custom HTML site.
No. Installation is a copy-paste into your site's HTML or footer. Every modern website builder has a "Custom HTML" or "Script" block where it goes. We provide platform-specific instructions during setup.
When you connect your site, we crawl all the public pages you allow and build a knowledge base from their content. The chatbot uses that knowledge base — not generic internet data — to answer questions. If the answer isn't on your site, it will say so rather than invent one.
You can trigger a re-crawl anytime from the dashboard to refresh the knowledge base. Paid plans include automatic scheduled re-crawls.
No. The widget loads asynchronously after your page content is visible, so it has zero impact on your page load speed or Core Web Vitals scores.
Yes. You can exclude specific URLs or page types from showing the chatbot, and exclude pages from being crawled into the knowledge base.
The free plan includes a generous monthly cap on AI replies — enough for most small to mid-sized websites. If you hit the limit, the chatbot politely tells visitors to email you or come back later; it doesn't disappear.
No credit card. No platform-specific plugin. Five minutes from signup to a live chatbot on your site.
