MxChat – AI Chatbot for WordPress

MxChat is a versatile AI chatbot plugin that brings the power of OpenAI’s GPT models directly into your WordPress site. This plugin enables you to create an intelligent chatbot that can interact with users, answer questions, and provide assistance in real-time, all while being fully customizable to match your website’s design and functionality.

Personalize the AI Chatbot with Custom Knowledge:

One of the standout features of MxChat is the ability to fine-tune the AI’s responses by adding personalized content directly through the WordPress admin dashboard. This is achieved through vector embeddings, a powerful technique that allows the AI to reference specific information you provide.

Whether you want the chatbot to answer questions based on your company’s unique services, products, or content, you can easily submit this information manually or via your website’s sitemap. By submitting custom knowledge, you guide the AI to understand and prioritize the most relevant data, ensuring that the responses are not only accurate but also highly contextual to your business or website.

• Manual Content Submission: Within the WordPress admin, you can manually add specific articles, FAQs, or any text that you want the AI to use as a reference. The plugin processes this content using vector embeddings, enhancing the chatbot’s ability to deliver precise, context-aware answers.

• Sitemap Submission: By submitting your website’s sitemap, MxChat automatically extracts and adds content from the URLs listed in the sitemap into the chatbot’s knowledge base. This seamless integration ensures that the AI is well-informed about the entire content of your site, improving the overall user experience.

GDPR Compliance & Multilingual Support:

• Complianz Integration (Pro Feature): With the new Complianz integration, MxChat ensures GDPR compliance by only displaying the chatbot to users who have consented to marketing cookies. This helps website owners stay compliant with data privacy regulations, and is available as a Pro feature for enhanced privacy controls.

• Customizable Privacy Policy Text: To support multilingual websites and specific legal requirements, MxChat allows you to customize the privacy policy text displayed with the chatbot, ensuring that users are informed about data usage in a transparent and compliant manner.

These features make MxChat an ideal solution for businesses seeking multilingual support and GDPR compliance while delivering a seamless and personalized AI-driven chatbot experience.

New in Version 1.1.0:

• Complianz Integration for GDPR Compliance: For pro users we’ve added integration with the Complianz plugin, allowing your chatbot to fully comply with GDPR consent requirements. The chatbot will only activate if the user has given consent for marketing, ensuring that personal data is handled responsibly and in accordance with GDPR regulations.
• Toggle Complianz Logic: A new setting in the admin panel for pro users allows website owners to enable or disable the Complianz consent logic for the chatbot. When enabled, the chatbot will follow Complianz’s consent management system, and when disabled, it will operate normally without consent checks.

New in Version 1.0.11:

• Customizable Privacy Policy Text: Website owners can now fully customize the privacy policy text that appears below the chatbot. This allows greater flexibility for sites with multiple languages or specific wording requirements.
• Adjustable Input Placeholder Text: Added an option in the admin panel to customize the chatbot’s input field placeholder text (default: “How can I assist?”). This helps accommodate different languages or specific user experiences.
• Improved Multilingual Support: These customization options make it easier for non-English sites to adjust both the privacy policy copy and chatbot input text, ensuring better localization support for global users.
