We install your WordPress AI chatbot end-to-end. Model pick, content index, escalation rules, 30-day transcript review. From $590, seven business days.
Most WordPress sites add AI the same way. Pick a chatbot plugin from the directory, paste an OpenAI key, leave it running. Six weeks later the bot is answering questions wrong and nobody on the team has time to audit what it’s saying to visitors.
We do the other version. Pick the right model for your traffic and budget, build a knowledge base from your actual content, write escalation rules so the bot hands off when it should, and check the transcripts every week for a month after launch. From $590 for a clean install, seven business days.
We pick the model for your traffic, language, and content sensitivity. GPT-4o-mini handles most retail and B2B sites for under $30/month in tokens. Claude Haiku is better for long-document Q&A. Self-hosted Llama 3.1 is the call when your content can't leave your servers.
WPBot, AI Engine, ChatBot, or a custom Botpress embed. The choice depends on whether you need WooCommerce hooks, multilingual switching, or admin-side tooling. We install the plugin, wire it to the model API, and lock the API key in the server environment, not a database row.
The bot needs to know what's on your site and what to do when it doesn't. We index your pages with embeddings, write 10-15 starter intents from your support inbox, and set the handoff rule: WhatsApp, email, or your CRM. The bot should know its limits.
Most bot failures we see come from layer three. The model is fine. The plugin works. The bot has no idea what to do when a real person asks something off-script, so it makes something up.
Everything below is included at the install tier. We don't tier-gate the basics.
You get a live chatbot, a knowledge snapshot you can re-build, transcript notes for the first month, and a one-page admin manual. No black box.
The bot answers questions on every page you select, handles handoff cleanly, and logs the right metrics.
A vector index built from your content as of the launch date. We document how to re-index when you publish new pages.
We read the chat transcripts every Monday for four weeks and send you a 200-word note with what's working, what's failing, and what to add.
A simple admin page or Slack alert that tells you weekly token spend and warns when projected monthly cost crosses a threshold you set.
A written rule for when the bot stops trying and routes the user to email, WhatsApp, or your support tool. Tested with a real chat that we trigger ourselves.
How to add new intents, how to rotate the API key, how to read the transcript log. Lives in your wiki or shared drive.
Seven business days from kickoff to a live bot, then a month of transcript review so we can fix what real users break.
We ask what people actually contact you about, what tools your support team already uses, and what content the bot needs to know. By the end of the call we agree on model, plugin, and escalation channel.
Scheduled within 2 business days of the briefPlugin installed in staging, API key locked to server env, site content indexed into the vector store, 10-15 starter intents seeded. We send you a staging link.
3 business days after kickoff30 sample queries run against the staging bot. We fix the worst answers, set the cost-alert thresholds, and switch the bot live with a privacy notice in place.
1 business day after staging sign-offWe watch the chat logs on Monday mornings for four weeks. Weekly note to you. New intents added as the data shows what people actually ask.
Weekly reports for 30 days post-launchThe chatbot install tier is $590. That covers model selection, plugin install on your WordPress site, content indexing, 10-15 starter intents, a privacy notice, an API-key safety review, and a token-cost dashboard. We hand it over working and you run it.
If you want us watching the transcripts for a month and adding intents as we learn what people ask, that’s the $1,490 install-plus-tune tier. Most clients on this tier add 15-25 new intents in the first 30 days because real users ask things you didn’t predict.
A typical WordPress site with 8-15k visitors a month and an active chatbot runs $20-60/month in OpenAI or Anthropic API charges. We set the alert threshold during install so you don’t get surprised by a $500 month.
This pairs with our WordPress security audit and hardening work. Adding an AI chatbot opens a new content surface that bots and scrapers will hit, and a misconfigured token endpoint is the kind of thing that shows up in a security audit. If you’re starting from a fresh WordPress site, the broader website security services hub covers the full posture. For the AI side of the stack on platforms other than WordPress, see our AI services portfolio. For day-to-day upkeep beyond the chatbot, our WordPress support and maintenance overview lists what we cover.
If the same WordPress site sends a lot of email (chatbot transcripts, lead alerts, newsletter), our mail server SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup keeps that mail out of spam.
If your WordPress front-end is slow before the chatbot ever loads, our WordPress Performance Pack fixes that as a separate fixed-price engagement.
We'll triage the same day. Send context, screenshots, error messages — whatever you have. No sales calls, no chatbots.
