## Description

**AI answers your visitors. You step in.**

Visitors ask about your services, prices and policies. Stand’s AI assistant answers
from the pages you choose. Watch chats live, step in yourself, or get a contact 
request by email with the reason and transcript.

Set up your assistant in WordPress. Add a corner chat, button, card or chatbox. 
Answer visitors in the separate [Stand app](https://app.stand.chat) on your computer
or phone.

**Start with a free Stand account: AI, live chat and lead capture included. No credit
card or AI API key required.**

Watch a visitor get an answer and the owner join the same chat. Demo: the fictional
Loonwater Cabins website and Stand app.

#### Help visitors take the next step

 * **Answers from your content.** Give your assistant a short briefing and choose
   your services, pricing or FAQ pages. It uses them to answer visitors’ questions.
 * **Watch chats live and step in.** Answer new chats when available; let AI cover
   when you’re away. Take over immediately or ask to join. Continue the same chat
   under your name and photo.
 * **New-chat alerts wherever you work.** Install Stand as a web app on iPhone, 
   iPad, Android, Mac or Windows using a supported browser. Enable push notifications
   so you can hear about new chats and jump in.
 * **Get the lead with the conversation.** When a visitor wants a follow-up, your
   assistant collects their contact details. Stand emails you their details, the
   reason and transcript.
 * **Your assistant, your voice.** Choose its name, look, greeting and tone. We 
   call it a Stand-in; visitors always see an AI badge.
 * **Welcome international visitors.** AI replies support 100+ languages. Chat controls
   are translated into 10 languages, and the widget adapts to mobile screens.

#### Made for the way you work in WordPress

 * **Chat beside your content.** Use the corner widget or add a Stand button, card
   or embedded chatbox beside pricing, services or contact information. Three blocks,
   with matching shortcodes.
 * **Page-specific behavior.** Set greetings, time or scroll triggers, and chat 
   size from the block editor. Choose where the corner widget appears.
 * **Keep answers current.** Pick the pages your assistant reads, see which have
   changed, and enable automatic rereading after you publish an update.
 * **Status at a glance.** See whether chat is live, who answers, your usage and
   anything that needs attention.
 * **Fit your existing site.** Includes WP Consent API integration, compatibility
   helpers for popular cache plugins, and chat hidden by default on staging sites.

Review conversation history and manage your team in the Stand app. Teammates and
sites are unlimited on every plan.

#### Turn conversations into a better website

Spot unclear pricing, missing details and reasons to hesitate in visitors’ questions.
Use those conversations to improve your website copy.

#### Start free, grow when you need to

The free plan includes **15 full conversations a week** and up to **10 website pages**
for your assistant to read. A conversation counts once, whether AI, a person or 
both answer. The free widget includes “Powered by Stand”.

**Optional Pro: $10/month** for 150 conversations, up to 200 pages, document and
sitemap sources, and branding removal. In the Stand app, Pro also adds alerts for
topics you choose and AI digests that help you spot recurring questions and objections.
Try Pro for 7 days without a card. [Compare plans](https://stand.chat/pricing).

### External services

This plugin connects your site to Stand Chat, a service by Stand Chat, Inc.

 * cdn.stand.chat: loads the chat widget on your public pages, where you turn chat
   on. The visitor’s browser sends its IP address and browser details with the request.
 * api.stand.chat (HTTPS and WebSocket): checks who can answer on each page view(
   page address and Site ID), records widget events, and carries chat messages when
   a visitor chats. When you connect your account, the WordPress server also uses
   it, as you, to manage this site’s Stand-ins, the pages they read and your chat
   settings.
 * stand.chat: account registration, when you choose Create your free account. After
   signing up, return to WordPress and choose Connect your account.
 * app.stand.chat and auth.stand.chat: sign-in, profile setup and connecting your
   account, when you choose Connect your account. While connected, the WordPress
   server renews its access to Stand at auth.stand.chat.
 * fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com: the chat widget’s font.
 * When you turn on “Tell Stand who logged-in visitors are”, the chat also sends
   a logged-in visitor’s display name and a private ID derived from their WordPress
   user ID. It never sends email addresses or passwords.
 * Your Stand account can include owner-approved custom JavaScript for chat behavior,
   which Stand then runs on your site. This plugin does not create or edit it, and
   on a site that has it, chat behavior changes only in Stand.

## FAQ

### Is it really free? Do I need a credit card?

Yes. The free plan has no trial deadline and needs no card. When available chats
run out, new chats pause until the next reset or an eligible paid top-up; conversations
already underway continue.

### Do I need an API key or an AI account?

No. Create a free Stand account during setup. Stand runs the AI, with no separate
provider account, key or token bill.

### Where do I answer chats?

In the [Stand app](https://app.stand.chat), on desktop or mobile. Set yourself Available
to answer new chats first; enable AI coverage for when you’re away.

### Can I install Stand on my phone or computer and get notifications?

Yes. Open app.stand.chat in a supported browser and use its Install app, Add to 
Home Screen or Add to Dock option. On iPhone and iPad (iOS/iPadOS 16.4+), add Stand
to the Home Screen from Safari and open it from the new icon. Turn on Notifications
in Stand and allow them on your device. You can also enable alerts for new AI-handled
conversations in notification settings.

### What can my AI assistant learn?

It uses your briefing and the public pages you choose. Pro also supports sitemap
and document sources; manage documents in the Stand app. WordPress removes unpublished
or password-protected pages from its knowledge, retrying if Stand is temporarily
unreachable.

### Can I use it with a page builder or the Classic editor?

Yes. Alongside the three WordPress blocks, use [stand_button], [stand_card] and [
stand_chatbox] wherever your editor or page builder supports shortcodes. The corner
widget works without adding a block.

### Does it work with caching and cookie consent?

The plugin includes chat-script exclusions for WP Rocket, Autoptimize, LiteSpeed
Cache, SiteGround Optimizer and Cloudflare Rocket Loader. A small-loader option 
is available under Settings  Advanced. Consent-based loading uses the WP Consent
API and is checked in the visitor’s browser, including on cached pages.

### How does Stand handle privacy?

Stand’s [DPA](https://stand.chat/dpa) describes its role as your processor, and 
the [subprocessor list](https://stand.chat/subprocessors) names providers and processing
locations. You can require cookie consent before loading chat. WordPress Settings
Privacy  Policy Guide includes suggested policy text. See External services below
for what the plugin sends and when.

### Why am I asked to reconnect after 30 days?

The WordPress account connection expires after 30 days, with a reminder a week before.
Reconnect to keep managing your assistant from WordPress. The chat already installed
on your site keeps working.

### Can I analyze conversations with my own AI tools?

Yes. Authorize an AI assistant with API or CLI tools to read your Stand chats, then
ask for recurring questions or website improvements backed by conversation examples.
Access is included on every plan. [API guide](https://stand.chat/guide/account-api)
| [CLI guide](https://stand.chat/guide/cli).
