Description
armaSoft AI Chat Basic helps visitors find essential business information through a compact chat-style widget. Despite the product name, Basic does not generate AI responses. It matches visitor questions to three fixed answer types configured by the site administrator:
- About and services
- Opening hours
- Contact and location
When a question does not match, the widget displays the administrator’s fallback message. A single optional featured card can highlight an announcement, offer or important page.
Local-only by design
Basic does not require an armaSoft account, license key, API key or external service. It does not create public REST endpoints, visitor sessions, usage allowances or analytics events. Visitor questions are matched locally in the browser and are not stored by the plugin.
Features
- Three focused, individually enabled quick answers
- Click-to-call and click-to-email contact actions
- One optional featured card with an HTTPS link
- Configurable title, launcher label, welcome text and fallback message
- Business logo, primary color and accent color
- Keyboard-friendly controls and accessible labels
- Site-wide display with no theme-template editing
- Safe migration review and export for supported legacy data
Privacy
armaSoft AI Chat Basic does not send data to an external service and does not store visitor messages. Configuration entered by an administrator is stored in the site’s WordPress options table. A selected logo is referenced by its WordPress media attachment ID.
During an upgrade from a supported legacy version, the plugin may read older plugin options and answer tables locally to map supported business information. Legacy answer content remains local and is removed only after explicit administrator confirmation or an authorized uninstall path.
