Four steps, about two minutes, zero code.
- 1
Create a free TalkSilo account
Sign up at TalkSilo, then open Settings to tell the AI about your business — name, what you do, and the tone you want. This is what makes answers specific to you.

Install the TalkSilo WordPress plugin
From your WordPress dashboard go to Plugins → Add New, upload the TalkSilo plugin (or install it from the directory), and click Activate.

Paste your API key
Open the TalkSilo settings in WordPress and paste the API key from your TalkSilo Embed tab. Save — that's the only configuration needed.
- 4
Your AI chatbot is live
The chat widget now appears on every page of your WordPress site, answering visitors 24/7. Watch conversations roll into your TalkSilo dashboard.

WordPress chatbot FAQ
Is the WordPress AI chatbot really free?+
Yes. The TalkSilo WordPress plugin is free, and the free plan includes 300 AI messages per month plus unlimited human and outbound chat, with no credit card required. Upgrade only if you need more AI volume.
Do I need coding skills to add it to WordPress?+
No. You install the plugin like any other WordPress plugin, paste your API key, and you're done. There's no theme editing or code required.
Will it slow down my WordPress site?+
No. The widget loads asynchronously from its own lightweight script and renders in an isolated Shadow DOM, so it won't block your page or conflict with your theme.
Can I match it to my brand?+
Yes. You can set the bot's name, welcome message, primary color, and widget position from your TalkSilo dashboard.
Does it work with WooCommerce?+
Yes. Because it works on any WordPress site, it also works on WooCommerce stores — great for answering product, shipping, and order questions automatically.
