The plugin enables a chatbot that is loaded from Google Cloud Storage, currently located at https://storage.googleapis.com/www.nextexit.ai/nextexit-widget.umd.cjs. The chatbot connects to our websocket server at wss://5nb3qtfa9d.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/production/.

• Next Exit is an AI agent that helps to manage customers automatically by answering questions and booking meetings.
• The chatbot transmits the user’s locale string to our servers when it is rendered in the browser. Data entered into the chatbot is transmitted to our websocket server when the user submits it.
