An AI chatbot plugin generated for your WordPress site: live chat on every page, an inline block, and signed-in members greeted by name. Ready today.

Status: ready today.

## Try it · Connect yours

- Try it: Open the live WordPress site — https://wordpress.demo.busymate.ai
- Connect WordPress: https://busymate.ai/console/integration — The plugin's own settings screen — its signing key, and the identity-provider fields (issuer, JWKS URL, launch endpoint) if you want signed-in visitor recognition.

## WordPress in action

A customer writes on WordPress, your mate answers from your own content, and your team steps in from the Inbox when it matters.
- The chat open on the live Larkspur Studio WordPress site.: https://busymate.ai/connector-proof/wordpress/site-light-desktop-1920.webp (2026-10-02)

Diagram: a customer sends a message on WordPress; your mate answers; when needed the conversation is handed to your Inbox and team.

## Set it up in the Console

1. In your Console connection settings, choose Download WordPress plugin — it's generated for your workspace, nothing to type in.
2. In wp-admin, open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload the zip and activate it.
3. Optional: place the chat inline with the trigger block or the [bmai_assistant] shortcode, and register the plugin's signing details as an identity provider to recognize signed-in visitors.

## Questions

### Is it ready today?

Ready today — a real installable plugin, on any self-hosted WordPress site.

### Does connecting WordPress cost extra?

No platform fee: Busymate AI bills per workspace plan, not per channel. The channel's own provider may charge for its numbers, messages or approvals.

### What happens when it cannot answer?

It says when it is unsure. If handoff is enabled for your workspace and channel, it can ask your team to take over in the Inbox. It confirms when your team has been asked to help.
