Basic Instructions:

1. Install AI Chatbot Easy Integration Basic and Pro
2. Determine the type of Chatbot you will be using. You may choose our basic chat feature or Watson Assistant. The basic chatbot can be setup in minutes and used on any website. It includes built in FAQs and will search your website for answers, if available, it will fallback to ChatGPT/OpenAI if it does not know how to answer or OpenAI can be set as the default response. ChatGPT requires the purchase of API credits. Watson Assistant involves more setup but provides a more complete chatbot experience. Watson Assistant includes a free version that will work for most users.

4. Create any desired FAQ under the FAQ Post tab of the WordPress Dashbaord. Include the “most requested” tag to have them returned by the chatbot. All other FAQ will be displayed in the FAQ archive.
