<p>Aria is an AI receptionist for small businesses. She answers customer questions on your website, books appointments straight into your calendar, and captures leads when you’re closed. This plugin drops the Aria chat widget on every page of your WordPress site — no copy-paste, no theme edits.</p>
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Conversational chat widget</strong> — Aria answers visitor questions using your business info, hours, services, and FAQs.</li>
<li><strong>Booking</strong> — Aria captures booking requests with name, contact info, and preferred time, and sends them to your dashboard or Google Calendar.</li>
<li><strong>Lead capture</strong> — when Aria can’t book, she takes a message with the customer’s contact info so you can follow up.</li>
<li><strong>Bilingual</strong> — English and Quebec French out of the box; Aria adapts to whichever language the visitor opens with.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Sign up at https://heyaria.ca and configure your Aria.</li>
<li>Install this plugin, activate it, and paste your Aria slug under Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Aria.</li>
<li>Done. Visit any page on your site — the chat bubble appears in the bottom corner.</li>
</ol>
<p>This plugin is free; an Aria account is required (free trial available at https://heyaria.ca).</p>
<h4>External service</h4>
<p>This plugin requires an Aria account and connects your site to Aria, a third-party AI receptionist service operated by Aria AI Inc. ( https://heyaria.ca ). When the plugin is active and a slug is configured, every page on your site loads a single JavaScript file from <code>https://heyaria.ca/widget.js</code>. That script runs in your visitors’ browsers and renders the Aria chat bubble. The widget then exchanges messages directly between your visitors’ browsers and Aria’s servers — your WordPress install itself is not in the data path; the plugin only inserts the script tag.</p>

<li>Aria Terms of Service: https://heyaria.ca/terms</li>
<li>Aria Privacy Policy: https://heyaria.ca/privacy</li>
</ul>
<h4>What data is sent</h4>
<ul>
<li>From your WordPress site to Aria’s servers: nothing. The plugin makes no server-to-server requests.</li>
<li>From your visitors’ browsers (after they interact with the chat bubble) to Aria’s servers: chat messages they send, page URL they’re on, and any contact info they provide voluntarily for booking or follow-up. Standard for any chat widget.</li>
<li>From your WordPress admin: nothing — the plugin stores your slug locally in your WordPress options table and does not transmit it.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your WordPress install on its own. Visitor chat data is processed by Aria; see Aria’s privacy policy ( https://heyaria.ca/privacy ) for details on retention and rights.</p>

With built-in WordPress hooks and AJAX handling, BuddyBot provides a smooth, asynchronous chatbot experience without slowing down your site.</p>
