## Description

**BotDesk AI Chat** adds your **BotDesk** AI receptionist to your WordPress site.
BotDesk answers your visitors’ questions and, on paid plans, captures the leads 
and booking requests you’d otherwise miss. It learns your business from your own
website in about five minutes. When you’re closed, busy, or asleep, it keeps replying
so a customer with a question doesn’t bounce to a competitor.

This plugin connects your WordPress site to your BotDesk account. You paste your
BotDesk site key once, and the widget appears on the front end of your site. There
is nothing to code.

**What the assistant does for your visitors**

 * Answers questions about your hours, services, and pricing, using your own site’s
   information.
 * Captures the visitor’s name, phone, and email along with what they asked, and
   emails it to you (paid plans).
 * Routes ready-to-buy visitors toward booking an appointment (on supported plans).
 * Works around the clock, on any page of your site.

**How it works**

This is a companion plugin for the hosted BotDesk service at [botdesk.studio](https://botdesk.studio).
You need a BotDesk account and its site key. The plugin injects the official BotDesk
widget script (`https://botdesk.studio/widget.js`) into your site’s footer with 
your key. It does not make any server-side calls of its own. The widget loads in
the visitor’s browser exactly as BotDesk’s standard one-line embed does.

**Don’t have a BotDesk account yet?** Start free at [botdesk.studio](https://botdesk.studio).
The free plan needs no card.

### Third-Party Service Disclosure

This plugin relies on the BotDesk service, a third-party hosted product. When a 
visitor loads a page on your site, their browser loads the BotDesk widget script
from `https://botdesk.studio/widget.js`, and chat messages the visitor sends are
processed by BotDesk to generate replies. No data is sent by this plugin from your
server; all communication is between the visitor’s browser and BotDesk.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to **Settings  BotDesk**.
 3. Paste your BotDesk key into **API key**. Find it in your BotDesk dashboard: open
    the **Install** tab, then **Site key**, and click **Copy**.

## FAQ

### Do I need a BotDesk account?

Yes. BotDesk is a hosted service. This plugin connects your site to your BotDesk
account using your site key. You can start free at botdesk.studio.

### Where do I find my key?

In your BotDesk dashboard, open the **Install** tab, then **Site key**, and click**
Copy**. It starts with `bd_`. It is the same value as `data-api-key` in your install
code.

### Will this slow down my site?

The widget loads a single small script in your footer. It does not run any code 
on your server.

### How do I remove the widget temporarily?

Uncheck **Show widget** on the settings page, or deactivate the plugin.

### Does the plugin collect any data?

No. The plugin only stores your API key in your site’s options and prints the widget
script. All chat data is handled by the BotDesk service in the visitor’s browser.
