Most AI chat plugins cost you money, either your own OpenAI key or a monthly subscription, but ChatAds earns instead of costs. You keep 100% of every commission, and no credit card is required to start. Readers ask questions right on the page (substitutions, comparisons, follow-ups) and get answers grounded in the post they are already reading, instead of leaving for ChatGPT. #### Why add it to your blog? * **Earns instead of costs.** Most AI chat plugins need your own paid OpenAI key or a monthly fee. ChatAds runs the model for you for free and turns recommendations into commission. * **You keep 100% of commissions.** ChatAds wraps the assistant’s product picks in your own affiliate links, either Amazon links or the affiliate links already on your page, paid directly to you. * **Keep readers on the page.** Instead of copying your post into ChatGPT, readers ask follow-ups, comparisons, and substitutions right where they already are. * **Answers grounded in your content.** The assistant draws on your post, so replies are relevant to what the reader is actually reading. There is no knowledge base to build and no training step. * **Zero maintenance.** Theme, targeting, and monetization all live in your ChatAds dashboard, keyed off your widget key, so the plugin never needs updating when new widget features ship. * **Fast and cache-friendly.** The embed is a single static tag with no server- side state. #### How it works 1. Sign up free at https://www.getchatads.com and copy your widget key (`cwk_...`). 2. Install this plugin and paste the key on the Settings > ChatAds page. 3. The chat widget appears on your site. Readers start chatting, and ChatAds handles the AI replies and affiliate links. To use this plugin you need a free ChatAds account and widget key from https://www. getchatads.com. ### External services This plugin loads the widget script from getchatads.com on every page load. As with any externally hosted script, that request exposes the visitor’s IP address, user agent, and referring page to getchatads.com. When a visitor opens the chat and sends a message, their chat messages are sent to the ChatAds API (api.getchatads.com) so the assistant can generate replies and insert affiliate links; when affiliate scraping is enabled, affiliate/product links already present on the page are sent as well. No chat data is sent until a visitor interacts with the widget.

Sign up free at https://www.getchatads.com and copy your widget key (`cwk_...`) from the dashboard. ### Do I need an OpenAI API key or a paid plan? No. ChatAds runs the AI model for you on a free tier of 100 messages a day, with no credit card. Unlike plugins that make you bring your own OpenAI key, there is no model bill to fund. ### How do the affiliate links work? When the assistant recommends a product, ChatAds wraps it in your own affiliate link, using Amazon links tied to your Associate tag or the affiliate links already on your page. Commissions are paid directly to you, and you keep 100%. The assistant only adds a link when a reply genuinely calls for a product, so it stays quiet the rest of the time. ### Does it work with caching plugins? Yes. The embed tag is static and all configuration is fetched client-side at runtime, so there is no server-side state to cache-bust. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ChatAds – Affiliate AI Chatbot for Blogs” is open source software.
