## Description

**Invent** turns your WordPress site into a 24/7 customer support team. Drop in 
your Assistant ID, hit save, and a smart AI chat bubble appears on every page, ready
to answer questions, qualify leads, and book meetings while you sleep.

#### Why Invent?

 * **Trained on your content.** Point Invent at your site, docs, or knowledge base
   and it learns your product, your tone, and your policies.
 * **Natural conversations.** Powered by frontier AI models, not clunky decision
   trees.
 * **Hand-off when it matters.** Invent escalates to a human (email, Slack, or your
   helpdesk) the moment a real person is needed.
 * **Lightweight.** A single async script. No layout shift, no jank, no heavy bundle.
 * **Works everywhere.** Posts, pages, custom post types, landing pages, even checkout.

#### See it in action

The widget lives in the corner of your site and opens into a full chat experience
that matches your brand.

#### Already on WooCommerce?

If your store runs on WooCommerce, install the dedicated **Invent for WooCommerce**
plugin instead. It includes everything in this plugin plus product-aware answers,
order lookups, and cart recovery prompts.

#### Setup in three steps

 1. Create a free account at [useinvent.com](https://www.useinvent.com).
 2. Build your assistant. Invent will crawl your site automatically.
 3. Paste the Assistant ID into this plugin and save. Done.

### External services

This plugin connects to the Invent service ([useinvent.com](https://www.useinvent.com))
to render the chat experience. The plugin does not contact Invent until a site administrator
saves an Assistant ID and the widget is rendered on a public page.

When visitors use the widget, Invent may process:

 * the configured Assistant ID
 * chat messages submitted through the widget
 * technical/browser metadata needed to operate the widget and chat session
 * page/referrer context associated with the widget session

The Invent service is required for the plugin to function.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate **Invent Chat Widget** from the WordPress plugin directory.
 2. Go to **Settings > Invent Chat Widget**.
 3. Paste your Invent Assistant ID.
 4. Save your changes.

The chat bubble will appear on every public page of your site.

## FAQ

### Do I need to edit my theme?

No. The plugin injects the widget automatically on every public page.

### Where do I get my Assistant ID?

Open your assistant in the Invent dashboard, go to **Widget > WordPress**, and copy
the Assistant ID.

### Is an Invent account required?

Yes. The plugin requires an Invent account and Assistant ID because the chat experience
is provided by the Invent service. You can sign up for free at [useinvent.com](https://www.useinvent.com).

### I run a WooCommerce store — should I use this plugin?

Use **Invent for WooCommerce** instead. It adds product-aware answers, order lookups,
and cart recovery on top of the standard widget. See [useinvent.com/integrations/woocommerce](https://www.useinvent.com/integrations/woocommerce).

### Will the widget slow my site down?

No. The widget loads asynchronously and has no impact on initial page render or 
Core Web Vitals.

### Can I customize the look of the widget?

Yes. Colors, position, welcome message, and avatar are all configured in the Invent
dashboard — no code or plugin update required.
