TalkWidget – AI Chat Widget & AI Visibility

TalkWidget adds a friendly AI chat assistant to your website that:

• Answers visitor questions automatically based on your FAQ
• Captures the visitor’s name, email and phone when it can’t answer, so you never miss a lead
• Automatically detects the visitor’s language and responds in kind
• Matches your brand colour
• Works on every page of your site with zero configuration after setup
• AI visibility: makes your business readable — and recommendable — by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity (see below)

AI visibility: get found by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google

More and more customers ask AI assistants for recommendations instead of searching. Most business websites are invisible to them — AI can only recommend what it can read. TalkWidget fixes that automatically:

• FAQ structured data — your FAQ is published as schema.org FAQPage JSON-LD on every page, machine-readable to Google, Bing and the crawlers behind AI assistants
• Business structured data — your business profile (description, contact details, address, social profiles) is published as schema.org LocalBusiness or Organization data
• llms.txt — an emerging convention, like robots.txt for AI. Your site automatically serves a machine-readable business summary at yoursite.com/llms.txt, refreshed hourly
• One knowledge base, everywhere — update your FAQ or business profile once in the TalkWidget dashboard and it flows to the chat widget, the structured data, and your llms.txt automatically
• You stay in control — every AI-visibility feature has its own on/off toggle in your dashboard

External Services

This plugin is a companion to TalkWidget (https://www.talkwidget.io), our own hosted service that powers the chat widget and AI-visibility features. The plugin cannot function without it. It communicates with the service in three ways:

1. Chat widget script. When the widget is enabled, the plugin loads widget.js from https://www.talkwidget.io/widget.js on your site’s front-end pages. On load, the script fetches your agent’s public configuration (business name, greeting, colours, FAQ and business profile you configured in your TalkWidget dashboard) from https://www.talkwidget.io/api/meta. No visitor data is sent at this stage beyond the standard browser request (IP address, user agent, referring domain used to verify the widget is authorised for your site).

2. Chat messages and leads. When a visitor chooses to interact with the widget, their messages are sent to https://www.talkwidget.io/api/chat together with your agent key and the visitor’s browser language, in order to generate an AI reply. If the visitor chooses to submit the lead form, the name, email address and optional phone number they enter are sent to the same service and made available to you in your dashboard. Nothing is sent unless the visitor actively uses the widget.

3. llms.txt. The plugin serves a machine-readable business summary at yoursite.com/llms.txt. When requested, the plugin fetches the generated content server-to-server from https://www.talkwidget.io/llms/{your-agent-key}.txt and caches it for one hour. This request contains no visitor data.
