Olotalk adds a grounded AI chat assistant to your WordPress site. Unlike a generic chatbot, Olotalk only answers from your<\/strong> content, your pages, docs, and product info, and shows citations<\/strong> for what it says. If the answer isn't in your site, it says so instead of inventing one.<\/p>\n\n You build and train the assistant in the Olotalk dashboard<\/a> (crawl your site, review answers, tune the tone). This plugin does one small, reliable job: it drops the official Olotalk assistant onto every page of your WordPress site. Paste your Assistant ID<\/strong>, save, done, no theme edits, works with any theme or page builder.<\/p>\n\n Why teams use Olotalk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n New to Olotalk? Create a free account<\/a> and build your assistant first, then install this plugin to put it live.<\/p>\n\n This plugin relies on the Olotalk service to render and power the chat assistant.<\/p>\n\n Olotalk API ( Olotalk connect (only when you press the button).<\/strong> Choosing Connect to Olotalk<\/strong> sends you to By installing this plugin and configuring an Assistant ID you enable these connections. See Olotalk's Terms of Service<\/a> and Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n One thing to know about Install domains<\/strong> in the dashboard: while that list is empty, your assistant answers on any site it is installed on. As soon as you add one domain, it answers only on the domains you listed, so add this site's domain too if you start restricting.<\/p>\n\n Prefer to do it by hand, or blocked by a security plugin? Paste your Assistant ID<\/strong> (it looks like Don't have an Olotalk account yet? Start at olotalk.com<\/a>, you build the assistant there, then this plugin puts it on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n In the Olotalk dashboard, open your assistant and go to the Install<\/strong> step. The ID looks like Yes. Use the Connect to Olotalk<\/strong> button on the settings screen: you sign in to Olotalk, pick an assistant, and the ID is filled in for you. Nothing to copy.<\/p>\n\n Before it hands the assistant over, Olotalk shows you which site is asking and exactly what it will receive, the assistant's ID and display name, nothing else. If that site's domain isn't already on your Olotalk account, you get a warning and have to confirm you recognise it. You also get an email once a connection completes, so one you didn't intend can't pass unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n The manual ID field always stays available, it is the reliable path when a security plugin, SSO, or a managed host blocks the redirect. You can also hide the button entirely from Settings \u2192 Olotalk<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n You need an assistant ID before the plugin can load anything. The setup wizard is the recommended path because it creates your assistant, crawls your site content, and shows the Install step. If your assistant was already created for you, you can install the plugin directly and paste that ID.<\/p><\/dd>\n Two common causes:<\/p>\n\n Still stuck? See Troubleshooting<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin loads the assistant in the site footer through WordPress's script queue, so it works with any theme, block theme, or builder (Elementor, Divi, Bricks, etc.).<\/p><\/dd>\n Olotalk has a free plan. Paid plans add more conversations, more indexed pages, and (on Growth) removal of the \"Powered by Olotalk\" badge. See pricing<\/a>.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n

That loader, running in the visitor's browser, then fetches the assistant bundle and stylesheet from the same address. Both are served by Olotalk, so no third-party CDN is involved.<\/li>\nhttps:\/\/api.olotalk.com<\/code>).<\/strong> The assistant sends visitor questions to the Olotalk API and receives grounded answers.

No account token or API key is ever sent to or stored on this site. Nothing is contacted until you press the button, and pasting the Assistant ID by hand skips this entirely.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
