InsertChat - AI assistants for WordPress websites

== Description ==
InsertChat adds a branded AI assistant to your WordPress site in minutes. Connect your approved pages, docs, FAQs, policies, product information, and support knowledge, then give visitors a direct way to ask questions, find answers, capture intent, and reach your team.

Your website already holds useful answers. InsertChat makes those answers easier to ask for, easier to trust, and easier to act on without rebuilding your WordPress theme, search, navigation, or CMS.

## What InsertChat helps you do

### Answer visitor questions from approved sources
Train your assistant on the WordPress pages, documentation, FAQs, policies, product details, help content, and other sources your team already maintains. Visitors get answers grounded in your material instead of hunting through menus or leaving for search.

### Keep the experience on brand
Customize the assistant experience so it fits your site and business. InsertChat is built for teams that care about brand control, polished visitor experience, and ownership of the customer journey.

### Capture leads and visitor intent
Turn serious questions into qualified leads. InsertChat can collect contact details and context while the visitor is already explaining what they need.

### Route support when AI should not answer alone
Use InsertChat to deflect common questions and guide visitors toward the right next step. When a person needs help from your team, the assistant can support handoff workflows with conversation context.

### Improve content discovery
Help visitors find the article, guide, resource, product, policy, or answer they came for. InsertChat gives your content a conversational path without replacing your site structure.

### Learn what visitors cannot find
Use conversation history, analytics, and insights to see what people ask, where your content is unclear, and which questions create support or conversion opportunities.

### Support ecommerce and product discovery
Guide shoppers through product questions, policies, comparisons, buying resources, and support content so they can move from confused browsing to confident next steps.

### Serve agencies and client sites
Agencies and implementers can deploy assistants for client websites and manage branded AI experiences through InsertChat. Learn more about [InsertChat for agencies](https://insertchat.com/for/agencies).
