<h3>Lead Management Dashboard — Turn Chat Traffic Into a Real Lead List</h3>
Every email and name your chatbot captures now lands in one clean, sortable dashboard — so you can finally see your leads as a list instead of hunting through individual transcripts.
What You Get:
<ul>
<li>One Row Per Lead — emails captured across multiple sessions are automatically deduplicated, so each lead appears once with a conversation count and a “last seen” timestamp</li>
<li>Top Pages Capturing Leads — instantly see which pages on your site are driving the most lead captures; click any page to filter the list to leads from that page only</li>
<li>Powerful Filtering — search by email or name, filter by date range (24h / 7d / 30d / 90d / all-time), or filter by status (leads with a conversation vs. orphan leads who submitted the form but never chatted)</li>
<li>Orphan Lead Tracking — visitors who drop their email in the pre-chat form but never send a message are surfaced separately so you never lose a captured contact</li>
<li>One-Click View Conversation — jump from any lead straight into their latest full conversation in the transcripts viewer</li>
<li>Bulk Delete + CSV Export — select multiple leads to delete or export in one action; CSV export supports email-only or email + name + conversation count + last-seen + top page</li>
<li>Clean, Responsive, Native — works beautifully on desktop, tablet, and phone with the same polished dashboard feel as the rest of MxChat</li>
<li>Zero Setup, Zero Migration — uses your existing chat data, no new database tables, no configuration — turn on lead capture and the dashboard just works</li>
</ul>
Perfect for sales teams managing inbound leads, agencies reporting to clients, and anyone who wants to see the actual ROI of their chatbot at a glance without digging through individual conversations.
<h3>AI Content Generator — Create Blog Posts & Landing Pages with AI</h3>
MxChat includes a built-in AI Content Generator that lets you create full blog posts and landing pages directly from your WordPress dashboard — no external tools or copy-pasting required.
How It Works:
<ol>
<li>Describe Your Content — Enter a topic, title, or detailed prompt and choose between a blog post or landing page layout</li>
<li>AI Generates Everything — The AI produces fully styled HTML with responsive CSS, ready-to-publish content, and optional AI-generated images using OpenAI GPT Image, Gemini, or Grok</li>
<li>Real-Time Preview — See your content exactly as it will appear on your site with a live scaled preview, including desktop and mobile viewport switching</li>
<li>Edit with AI Chat — Use the built-in AI chat panel to request changes like “make the heading bigger” or “change the background to blue” — the AI updates your content in real time</li>
<li>Publish Instantly — Content is saved as a native WordPress post or page with clean HTML, SEO metadata, and responsive design that works with any theme</li>
</ol>

<h3>MxChat Anywhere — Deploy Your Chatbot on Any Website</h3>
Your WordPress site powers the AI, but your chatbot doesn’t have to live there. The <a href="https://mxchat.ai/add-ons/mxchat-embed/" rel="nofollow ugc">MxChat Anywhere Add-On</a> lets you deploy your fully configured chatbot on any website with a single script tag — Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, static HTML, SaaS apps, documentation sites, or anything with an HTML page.

<li>Multi-bot support lets you deploy different chatbot configurations on different sites</li>
<li>Secure domain whitelisting and API key authentication prevent unauthorized usage</li>
<li>Lightweight vanilla JS widget with zero dependencies — no jQuery needed on the target site</li>

Receives the WP_Post object and the bot ID.

Dynamically modify the system prompt before every AI response. Use this to inject live data such as business hours, inventory status, or user-specific context into the prompt at runtime. Receives the instructions text, bot ID, and session ID.
