Description

AI Assistant for Business is a personalized BusinessBot AI Chat Assistant plugin for WordPress that acts like a real-time support executive on your website. It uses Google Gemini AI to understand your business, based on the information you provide in the admin panel.

Key Features:

  • Collect essential business details to personalize responses.
  • Gemini API integration for AI capabilities.
  • Sticky chat button in the front-end footer.
  • Easy-to-follow guide to generate your API key.
  • Seamless and intelligent communication with site visitors.

External Services

This plugin uses the Gemini API provided by Google to generate AI-powered responses based on your business details.

When a user interacts with the chat assistant, the plugin sends the current chat history (including business context and user questions) to the following endpoint:

https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/

This request is made solely to retrieve relevant AI-generated replies. No personally identifiable information, login credentials, or sensitive user data is collected or transmitted.

For transparency and compliance, you may refer to Google’s policies:

Privacy

This plugin does not:
– Track users
– Store personal data
– Send information to third parties (except the Gemini API prompt)

All data remains within your WordPress environment except when calling the Gemini API, which only transmits the AI prompt and business details as defined by the site administrator.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin ZIP file to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to AI Assistant > Details to enter your business information.
  4. Go to AI Assistant > Integration to add your Gemini API key.
  5. That’s it! The AI chat icon will appear on your site automatically.
