Costello Ai

<p><a href="https://costellohq.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Costello</a> is an AI receptionist that qualifies leads and answers questions in real time via a chat widget on your site.</p>
<p>This plugin injects the Costello widget script on every page of your site. No coding required — click <strong>Connect to Costello</strong>, approve, and you’re live.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>One-click connect — link your Costello account with a single button, no copy-pasting.</li>
<li>Enable / disable toggle without touching any code.</li>
<li>Works with any theme.</li>
<li>No build step, no dependencies.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Getting started:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate this plugin.</li>
<li>The <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Costello Chat</strong> page opens automatically.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Connect to Costello</strong> and approve the connection. Your widget goes live instantly on every page.</li>
</ol>
<p>Prefer to do it by hand? You can paste your Agent ID manually instead — find it in your <a href="https://platform.costellohq.com/app" rel="nofollow ugc">Costello dashboard</a> under <strong>Integrations <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Chat Widget</strong>.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects your site to Costello, an external AI chat service operated by Costello, to provide the live chat widget. A Costello account is required to use the plugin.</p>
<p>The plugin relies on the Costello service in two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Loading the chat widget.</strong> On every front-end page, the plugin loads the widget script from <code>https://platform.costellohq.com/widget/v1.js</code>, tagged with your Agent ID. When a visitor opens the chat, their messages are sent to Costello to generate replies. The conversation data visitors enter (such as their questions, name, or contact details) is processed by Costello.</li>
<li><strong>Connecting your site.</strong> When you click “Connect to Costello”, the plugin sends your site’s URL to <code>https://platform.costellohq.com/connect/wordpress</code> so you can approve the connection and receive your Agent ID. No data is sent to Costello until you actively connect or a visitor uses the widget.</li>
</ul>
<p>Use of the Costello service is governed by Costello’s Terms of Service (https://costellohq.com/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://costellohq.com/privacy).</p>
