The Hexabot Chat Widget plugin helps WordPress site owners add a self-hosted AI chatbot to their website in minutes. It embeds the Hexabot v3 conversational AI widget on your public pages and connects visitors to Hexabot-powered workflows for support, lead capture, onboarding, and customer engagement.

Hexabot v3 is a self-hosted, fair-core AI automation platform for building conversational workflows that talk, act, and remember. It can power a website AI assistant, a customer support chatbot, lead qualification flows, product onboarding, internal operations, and other AI workflow automation use cases across web chat and additional channels.

This chatbot plugin for WordPress handles the website embed for you, so no theme-file editing is required. Configure the visitor experience in Hexabot Admin, then connect WordPress by entering two values in Settings > Hexabot Chat Widget:

API URL: the public URL of your Hexabot v3 API.
Source Ref: the reference for the Hexabot v3 Web Source created for this WordPress website.

The Web Source controls website-specific behavior such as allowed domains, default workflow, greeting, window title, avatar, menu, upload permissions, and interaction options. The WordPress settings connect your site to that Web Source and let you apply client-side overrides such as workflow routing, primary color, language, transport mode, and upload size.
