Add an AI-powered chat widget to your WordPress site in seconds. Powered by TalkSilo.

== Description ==

TalkSilo adds a smart AI chatbot to your website that automatically answers your
visitors' questions using a real large language model — not rigid rule-based
flows.

Just install the plugin, paste your TalkSilo API key, and the widget appears on
every page of your site.

Features:

* One-field setup — paste your API key and you're live
* Real AI replies trained on your business info (configured in your TalkSilo dashboard)
* Customizable colors, bot name and welcome message (from the dashboard)
* Lightweight — loads a single async script
* Works on any theme

You need a free TalkSilo account to use this plugin. Sign up at https://talksilo.com

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `talksilo` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to Settings → TalkSilo.
4. Enter your API key (found in your TalkSilo dashboard under Embed) and click Save.
5. Done! The chat widget now appears on your site.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do I find my API key? =

Log in to your TalkSilo dashboard, open the Embed page, and copy the API key.

= Does this slow down my site? =

No. The widget loads a single small async script and renders inside an isolated
Shadow DOM so it never conflicts with your theme.

= Is it free? =

TalkSilo has a free tier (300 AI messages/month, plus unlimited human and
outbound chat). Paid plans are available for higher AI volume.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the TalkSilo service (a third-party SaaS) to provide the
AI chat widget. It is required for the plugin to function.

What it does and what data is sent:

* The widget script is loaded from `https://talksilo.com/widget.js` on the front
  end of your site so the chat box can render.
* When a visitor sends a chat message, that message — together with your site's
  TalkSilo API key, the visitor's anonymous visitor ID, and the page origin — is
  sent to the TalkSilo API (`https://talksilo.com/api/chat`) so the AI can
  generate a reply. The reply is returned and shown in the widget.
* No data is sent until a visitor actively opens the widget and submits a message.

This service is provided by TalkSilo. By using the plugin you agree to TalkSilo's
