Free AI Chatbot for Support & FAQ – monoshiri AI

Add an AI chatbot to WordPress in a few clicks and let it answer visitor questions automatically, 24/7.

monoshiri AI Widget puts an AI-powered live chat button on your WordPress site that replies to visitors instantly. Instead of generic answers, the chatbot responds using your own content – FAQs, product manuals, help docs, and internal knowledge you upload to monoshiri.ai. The result: faster customer support, fewer repetitive emails, and answers that are actually accurate for your business.

The chat is powered by monoshiri.ai, an AI knowledge base (RAG) service. You upload your documents, and the AI searches them to generate grounded, source-based answers for every question your visitors ask.

What you can use it for

• FAQ automation – turn your help pages and FAQs into an interactive AI chatbot that answers in natural language
• Customer support – deflect common questions and reduce support tickets with instant, around-the-clock replies
• Product and documentation help – let visitors ask questions about your manuals, guides, and specs and get direct answers
• Internal knowledge – surface answers from your team’s documents and onboarding material
• Lead and pre-sales questions – answer “how does it work / how much / does it support X” before a visitor leaves

Why monoshiri AI Widget

Most chat plugins either need a human to answer or give scripted replies. monoshiri AI Widget answers automatically using your real content, so visitors get specific, trustworthy answers and you save hours of repetitive support work.

Requirements

This plugin requires a monoshiri.ai account. You can create a free one during setup.

External services

This plugin connects to the monoshiri.ai service. The plugin loads the chat widget script from monoshiri.ai and sends user queries to api.monoshiri.ai when a visitor interacts with the widget.

Services used:

• monoshiri.ai API (https://api.monoshiri.ai)
  • When a visitor uses the chat: the question text and the current page URL
  • When an administrator clicks “Agree and connect”: the site name and address, and the address of the plugin’s settings page (used as the return address after approval)
  • While connected: an access token, to read this site’s chatbot settings and conversation logs
  • When an administrator adds a post or page on the “Content for AI” screen: the title and the plain text of that content
  • When an administrator uploads a file on the same screen: the file itself, sent from this site’s server
  • When an administrator saves “Chatbot appearance” on the settings screen: the title, colour and other display settings
  • When an administrator opens the “Conversation logs” page on a manually configured site: the integration key, to read past conversations for this widget (read-only)
  • When the plugin is deleted: the site’s stored access credential, so it can be revoked on the server instead of being left active
• monoshiri.ai dashboard (https://app.monoshiri.ai)
  • Only when an administrator clicks “Agree and connect”: the browser is sent to the sign-in and approval screen
• monoshiri.ai widget script (https://monoshiri.ai)

Data sent:

• The query text typed by site visitors into the chat widget
• The URL of the current page (for context)
• The visitor’s IP address (as part of the HTTP request)
• The API key configured in plugin settings (for authentication)
• The site name and address, when an administrator starts the connection
• The text of posts or pages that an administrator explicitly chooses to add as AI content
• Files that an administrator explicitly chooses to upload
• Connecting itself sends no site content. Posts and pages are sent only when an administrator selects them on the “Content for AI” screen
• No user accounts or visitor personal data are sent

When data is sent:

• Data is only sent when a visitor opens the chat widget and types a message
• No data is sent during normal page loads
• If the API key is not configured, the plugin does nothing
• No external requests are made when the plugin is installed or activated. The plugin only contacts monoshiri.ai servers (a) when a site administrator clicks “Agree and connect” on the settings screen, (b) while the site is connected, when an administrator opens the plugin’s own screens, (c) when a site administrator clicks the “Test connection” button, (d) when a visitor opens the chat widget on the front-end, and (e) once when the plugin is deleted, to revoke the stored credential.
• The connection screen lists exactly what will be sent before the administrator continues, and links to the terms and privacy policy.
