The assistant answers visitor questions** exclusively based on your own website content** (no hallucinated answers), in the visitor’s language, and links directly to the matching page or product. **This plugin relies on the third-party service zalu.ai.** A Zalu account is required( a free plan is available). All configuration — appearance, content ingestion, analytics, lead forms — happens in the Zalu dashboard; the plugin itself only connects your site and loads the widget. How it works: 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Go to Settings Zalu and click “Mit Zalu verbinden” (Connect with Zalu). 3. Sign in (or register) at Zalu and confirm — done. The site key is stored automatically. Without a connected site key, no widget is loaded and no data is sent anywhere. **Für deutschsprachige Nutzer:** Zalu ist ein KI-Chat-Assistent aus Deutschland. Er beantwortet Besucherfragen ausschließlich aus deinen eigenen Website-Inhalten, mehrsprachig und ohne Tracking-Cookies. Plugin installieren, „Mit Zalu verbinden” klicken, fertig. ### External services This plugin relies on the third-party service **zalu.ai** and, without it, provides no functionality. **1. Zalu (the service this plugin connects to)** * What it is: Zalu (https://zalu.ai) provides the AI chat assistant embedded by this plugin. * What data is sent and when: When a page with the active widget loads, the widget JavaScript is fetched from your Zalu app domain (default app.zalu.ai) together with your public site key. When a visitor sends a chat message, the message content, a pseudonymous visitor identifier, and page/domain information are transmitted to Zalu to generate the answer. During the one-click connect flow, your site URL and a one-time code are exchanged with Zalu to obtain the site key. * Provider and terms: Zalu — Terms: https://zalu.ai/agb · Privacy policy: https:// zalu.ai/datenschutz · Data processing agreement: https://zalu.ai/avv **2. Google Gemini (subprocessor used by Zalu)** * Zalu generates answers with Google’s Gemini API; chat content is transmitted to Google for this purpose. * Terms: https://ai.google.dev/terms · Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy No external service is contacted before a Zalu account is connected (no site key no widget, no requests). ## Screenshots [⌊The settings page with "Mit Zalu verbinden" (Connect with Zalu).⌉⌊The settings page with "Mit Zalu verbinden" (Connect with Zalu).⌉[ The settings page with “Mit Zalu verbinden” (Connect with Zalu).

Upload the `zalu-ai` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` (or install the ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin). 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Settings Zalu and click “Mit Zalu verbinden” — sign in, done. If you previously used the plugin under its old name (ki-website-assistent), your stored site key is migrated automatically; please deactivate and remove the old plugin. ## FAQ ### Does the widget set cookies? No. The widget does not set cookies. It stores a pseudonymous identifier in the browser’s local storage to operate the chat (recognizing the visitor within a session, abuse protection). There is no cross-site tracking. ### Where is the data processed? By Zalu (hosted in Germany); answers are generated using Google’s Gemini API. Details: https://zalu.ai/datenschutz (privacy policy) and https://zalu.ai/avv (data processing agreement). ### Do I need technical knowledge? No. Install the plugin, click “Mit Zalu verbinden” — setup takes a few minutes. ### Is a paid subscription required? A Zalu account is required; a free plan is available. Paid plans add higher limits and additional features. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Zalu – KI-Website-Assistent” is open source software.
