よくある質問に24時間 自動で答えるAIチャットボット。サイトIDを貼るだけ、コード編集は不要です。無料プランあり。

== Description ==

**An AI chatbot for Japanese websites that answers visitor questions from your own FAQ (よくある質問).**

The bot replies only from the questions and answers you register, 24 hours a day, so visitors get an answer before they need to send an inquiry form. It is built for Japanese-language sites and replies in natural Japanese.

Activate the plugin, paste your Site ID, and you are done. No theme editing, no code snippets.

= What it is good for =

* Cram schools and tutoring (fees, trial lessons, timetables)
* Professional services such as tax accountants and legal scriveners (consultation fees, scope of work)
* Clinics and dental offices (opening hours, appointments, insurance coverage)
* Hair salons and beauty services (menu, prices, same-day booking)
* Restaurants (opening hours, seating, takeaway)
* Hotels and guest houses (check-in time, parking, cancellation)
* Online shops (shipping, returns, payment methods)
* Builders and renovation companies (service area, estimates, past work)

= Features =

* **AI answers, grounded in your FAQ** — a generative AI model composes a natural Japanese reply from the questions and answers you registered.
* **It does not make things up** — the bot never invents support answers you never wrote. When a question is not covered, it tells the visitor to contact you directly.
* **Automatic FAQ drafting** — paste the URL of a page that already lists your questions, and the AI reads it and drafts FAQ entries for you. No manual typing to get started.
* **Setup is just a Site ID** — no code editing. You do not have to paste an embed snippet anywhere.
* **Automatic replies before the inquiry** — recurring questions such as opening hours and pricing are answered on the spot, reducing customer support workload.
* **Appearance settings** — the chat window colour, heading and greeting can be changed to match your site.
* **See what visitors ask** — every conversation is visible in the FAQuick dashboard.

= Pricing =

* **Free plan** — 50 answers per month, no time limit, resets on the 1st of each month
* Starter — 2,980 JPY / month (1,000 answers)
* Standard — 7,980 JPY / month (4,000 answers)
* Pro — 19,800 JPY / month (10,000 answers)

**Your plan never upgrades itself.** No charge is ever made unless you start a paid plan yourself.

When the monthly allowance runs out, Starter and Standard stop answering until the next billing date, with no extra charge. Pro keeps answering, and each answer beyond the allowance is billed at 2 JPY on the following invoice.

= External service (required) =

This plugin connects to **FAQuick (faquick.net)**, an external service operated by the plugin author. The plugin does not work on its own.

* On the front end, the plugin loads `https://faquick.net/widget.js`.
* When a visitor asks a question in the chat, **the question text and your Site ID are sent to faquick.net**, and the answer is returned.
* **While no Site ID is set, the plugin makes no external connection at all.**
* Managing your FAQ, generating the AI answers and handling your account all happen on faquick.net.

By using this plugin you agree to the following:

* Terms of service: https://faquick.net/terms.html

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is it really free? =

Yes. The free plan allows 50 answers per month with no time limit, and no credit card is required. The count resets on the 1st of each month.

= Could I be charged without noticing? =

No. There is no mechanism that upgrades you automatically. Unless you start a paid plan yourself from the dashboard, no charge is ever made.

= Do I have to type in every FAQ myself? =

No. Paste the URL of a page that already lists your questions, and the AI reads the page and drafts FAQ entries. You can review and edit them before saving.

= Can the AI give a wrong answer? =

It answers only from the FAQ you registered and does not guess at anything that is not written there. For questions it cannot answer, it directs the visitor to contact you.

= Does it support languages other than Japanese? =

It is designed for Japanese-language websites.

= Do I need to edit any code? =

No. Entering the Site ID is the whole setup. You never have to touch theme files.

= The chat button does not appear =

Check that the Site ID is saved correctly on the settings screen. If you use a caching plugin, clear the cache as well.

= Does it replace my contact form? =

It automates answers to frequently asked questions. For individual enquiries and quotes, it directs the visitor to contact you.
