Clara is your website employee. An AI that works on your site 24/7, talks to every visitor, and turns interest into qualified leads.
This free plugin connects WordPress to Clara Cloud — the paid service that runs Clara on your site. Install the plugin, see a live in-admin preview of Clara on your own homepage, then click Connect to Clara Cloud to subscribe. Clara goes live on your public site within seconds. No API keys. No copy-paste.
<h4>What Clara does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Scans your homepage and learns your business automatically — services, tone, conversion goal.</li>
<li>Greets every visitor with a personalized opening line tied to what your site is about.</li>
<li>Captures qualified leads — name, email, the question they asked.</li>
<li>Speaks her replies in a natural voice just like a human (Pro tier; voice can be toggled off).</li>
<li>Answers questions 24/7 with the context of your business, not a generic chatbot script.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pricing</h4>
The plugin is free forever. Clara Cloud is a paid subscription:
<ul>
<li>Standard — $49/mo — Text chat + lead capture. Great for getting started.</li>
<li>Pro — $99/mo — Everything in Standard, plus voice replies in a natural voice.</li>
<li>Volume — $799/mo — 10 sites under one subscription — every Pro feature on every site.</li>
</ul>
You pick your tier inside the plugin. Cancel anytime from your Clara Cloud billing portal.
<h4>Who it’s for</h4>
<ul>
<li>Small businesses that want a 24/7 employee without hiring human workforce.</li>
<li>WordPress sites that get qualified visitor traffic but don’t capture enough of it.</li>
<li>Agencies and freelancers managing client sites who want to add conversion AI without writing code. (Agency white-label is available through claraconverts.com/agencies, not this plugin.)</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external service to provide its functionality:
Clara Cloud (ClaraConverts) — https://claraconverts.com
The plugin sends the following data to Clara Cloud:
<ul>
<li>Your site URL (during the install handshake, so Clara can read your homepage)</li>
<li>The site admin email address (used to bind your Clara Cloud subscription to your site)</li>
<li>A site identifier derived from your blog ID and home URL host (used to track which sites are connected)</li>
<li>Visitor conversations (only after you subscribe — visitor messages are sent to Clara Cloud for processing)</li>
<li>Lead capture data (name, email, message — only when a visitor fills out a lead form in the chat)</li>
</ul>

Important Notice for Users Updating to Version 1.6.6+
The latest update improves the plugin’s file structure for better performance. As a result, the default paths for some images (like the chatbot icon and avatars) have changed.
If you notice that the chatbot button or avatars are not appearing after the update, it is almost certainly due to your browser or website’s cache.
Solution: Please perform a “hard refresh” in your browser (Ctrl+F5 on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). If you use a caching plugin (like WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WP Fastest Cache etc.), please purge all caches from your plugin’s settings. This will solve the issue.
AI Chatbot Free Models empowers you to integrate a cutting-edge AI chatbot into your WordPress website!

<h3>Configuration – Setting up your AI Chatbot</h3>
<ol>
<li>Get a Free API Key from OpenRouter.ai (Yes, it’s free!). OpenRouter offers access to over 400 models, including ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, and many others, all at competitive prices!</li>
<li>Enter your OpenRouter API Key in the “Settings” tab.</li>
<li>Choose an AI Model. Free models have the suffix “:free” at the end of their name. Note that all models are accessed THROUGH OpenRouter, regardless of the original provider.</li>
<li>Provide context about your website in the “Information for responses” field.</li>
<li>Customize the chatbot’s appearance in the “Style” and “Images” tabs.</li>
<li>Click “Save settings”. Remember to refresh your website (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R) after saving, otherwise the changes may not be displayed correctly due to caching.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Message and IP Saving</h3>
You can enable or disable the saving of chat messages and user IP addresses in the “Messages” tab of the settings page. Message saving is disabled by default for privacy reasons. If enabled, all chat messages and IP addresses will be stored securely within the plugin’s dedicated database.
Using a dedicated database offers several advantages:
<ul>
<li>Simplified Management: All chatbot-related data is contained in a single location, making it easier to manage and maintain.</li>
<li>Reduced Impact: Storing data separately minimizes the impact on your website’s core database performance.</li>
</ul>
Important: If you choose to enable message and IP saving, you MUST update your website’s privacy policy to reflect this data collection practice and inform your users accordingly. You are responsible for complying with all applicable privacy laws.
