## Опис

**WaKonect Chat** adds a smart AI chat widget to your WordPress site. Visitors get
instant AI-powered answers to their questions, and you capture their contact details—
all without leaving your site.

**A powerful AI chat plugin where you bring your own Groq API key — zero per-reply
cost, forever.**

Groq offers a generous free tier. Add your API key in the plugin settings and get
unlimited AI replies at no cost. No per-conversation charges. No monthly limits 
imposed by us.

#### How it works

 1. Visitor opens the chat bubble on your site
 2. AI answers their questions using your website content and business information
 3. Visitor leaves their name, email, and phone (lead capture)
 4. You read and reply from the WaKonect inbox at chat.wakonect.com

#### Free features

 * **AI auto-replies** — use your own Groq API key (free tier available at console.
   groq.com)
 * **Lead capture** — collect name, email, and phone before chat starts
 * **Appearance** — widget colour, position, icon style, button label
 * **Greeting & messages** — custom greeting, follow-up, and offline messages
 * **Business hours** — automatically hide widget or show offline message outside
   working hours
 * **Page placement** — show on all pages, only specific pages, or exclude certain
   pages
 * **AI persona** — set bot name, response language, and tone
 * **Website knowledge** — fetch your website content so the AI answers accurately
 * **Chat inbox** — read and reply to all conversations at chat.wakonect.com

#### WaKonect Chat Pro (available at wakonect.com)

 * Appointment booking inside the chat widget
 * WhatsApp notification when a visitor chats or books
 * Quick reply buttons
 * Multiple widgets (different widget per page or section)
 * Analytics and lead export
 * Priority support

#### Why Groq?

Groq’s free tier is genuinely generous — enough for most small businesses. You own
your API key, your data stays yours, and you pay nothing for AI replies. Get your
free key at [console.groq.com](https://console.groq.com/keys).

### External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services:

#### WaKonect (chat.wakonect.com)

Used for: account creation, chat inbox, AI settings sync, and magic login links.

This service is required for the plugin to function. [Privacy Policy](https://wakonect.com/privacy)
| [Terms of Service](https://wakonect.com/terms)

#### Groq API (api.groq.com)

Used for: AI-powered auto-replies when you configure your own Groq API key.
 No 
data is sent to Groq unless you add a Groq API key in the plugin settings. [Privacy Policy](https://groq.com/privacy-policy)
| [Terms of Service](https://groq.com/terms-of-use)

## Встановлення

 1. Install the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, or upload the `wakonect-
    chat` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Settings  WaKonect Chat**.
 4. Enter your email address and click **Connect** — a free account is created instantly.
 5. Go to the **AI Settings** tab, enter your Groq API key, add your website URL, and
    click **Fetch Website Info**.
 6. Click **Save Settings** — your AI chat widget is now live.

The whole setup takes under 5 minutes.

## Часті питання

### Do I need a WaKonect account?

Yes — a free account is created automatically when you enter your email and click
Connect. No credit card required.

### Where do I get a Groq API key?

Go to [console.groq.com/keys](https://console.groq.com/keys), sign up for free, 
and create an API key. Groq’s free tier is sufficient for most small businesses.

### What happens if I don’t add a Groq API key?

The chat widget still works — visitors can chat and leave their details. Without
a key, AI auto-replies are disabled and you reply manually from the inbox.

### Where do I read and reply to conversations?

All conversations appear in your WaKonect inbox at [chat.wakonect.com](https://chat.wakonect.com).
The plugin shows a “Manage Chat Inbox” button that logs you in automatically.

### Is the AI trained on my website?

Yes. In the AI Settings tab, enter your website URL and click “Fetch Website Info”.
The plugin scans your homepage and key pages and uses that content to train the 
AI.

### Can I customise what the AI knows about my business?

Yes. After fetching your website, you can edit the Business Information text freely—
add pricing, FAQs, services, location, anything you want the AI to know.

### Will the AI answer questions it doesn’t know?

The AI is instructed to say “someone will follow up shortly” rather than guessing
when it’s not confident. You’ll see the conversation in your inbox and can reply
manually.

### Does this work with WooCommerce?

Yes — the widget loads on WooCommerce pages. WooCommerce-specific features (product
cards, cart recovery) are available in WaKonect Chat Pro.

### Is my data secure?

Conversations are stored on WaKonect servers. Your Groq API key is stored in your
WordPress database and sent to your WaKonect account for AI processing. See our 
privacy policy at wakonect.com/privacy.
