<li><strong>Reply from Anywhere</strong> — Answer chats from wp-admin or connect Telegram for mobile notifications and replies.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy-First</strong> — No visitor tracking, no external servers, no cookies beyond session identification. GDPR-friendly by design.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — Under 50KB total. No jQuery dependency. Loads asynchronously.</li>
<li><strong>Setup in Seconds</strong> — Install, activate, done. Chat widget appears automatically.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>

<p><strong>Telegram Integration</strong> (Optional)<br />
Connect your Telegram bot to receive instant notifications and reply to visitors from your phone. Perfect for on-the-go support.</p>
<p><strong>Visitor Intelligence</strong><br />
See visitor location, browser, current page, and browsing journey. Know context before you reply.</p>
