EchoAI – AI Chat Assistant

Step 1: Install & Activate

Install EchoAI from the WordPress plugin directory (Plugins > Add New > search “EchoAI”), or upload the zip file manually. Activate the plugin.

Step 2: Connect Your Assistant

Go to EchoAI > Setup in your WordPress admin. You’ll see two options:

Option A: Connect with EchoAI (recommended)

1. 01Click “Connect with EchoAI”
2. 02You’ll be redirected to the EchoAI platform — create a free account or log in
3. 03Create a new assistant or select an existing one
4. 04Approve the WordPress connection
5. 05You’ll be redirected back to WordPress with a confirmation screen
6. 06Click “Confirm Assistant” — done!

Option B: Enter an existing Assistant ID

If you already have an assistant on app.echoaichat.com :

1. 07Copy your Assistant ID from the platform dashboard
2. 08Paste it into the “Use Existing Assistant” field
3. 09Click “Validate & Save”

Step 3: Your Content Gets Indexed

Once connected, EchoAI automatically syncs your published WordPress content — posts, pages, and any custom post types you select. This happens in the background. Future changes sync in 4-5 seconds via webhooks.

Step 4: Add the Chat to Your Site

You have three options — use one or combine them:

Floating button (active by default) A chat button appears in the bottom-right corner of every page. Customize position, icon, and tooltip in EchoAI > Config .

Gutenberg block In the block editor, search for “EchoAI Chat” and insert it. Configure height, background color, and optionally override the assistant ID per block.

Shortcode Add [echo_ai] to any post, page, or widget. Optional parameters:

1. 10[echo_ai height="500"] — set height in pixels
2. 11[echo_ai backgroundcolor="#ffffff"] — set background color
3. 12[echo_ai assistant_id="XXXXX"] — use a specific assistant

Step 5: Configure (Optional)

Visit EchoAI > Config to customize:

1. 13Floating button — position (four corners or off), custom icon, tooltip text
2. 14Content types — choose which post types to sync with the AI
3. 15Assistant ID — view or change the connected assistant

For AI behavior, personality, greeting messages, and suggested questions, visit your assistant settings on the EchoAI platform .

Requirements

1. 16A publicly accessible website (not localhost — the AI needs to reach your content)
2. 17WordPress 5.9 or higher
3. 18PHP 7.4 or higher
4. 19A free EchoAI account at app.echoaichat.com

How does it work?

When a visitor asks a question, EchoAI searches your knowledge base using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), finds the most relevant content, and generates a response using OpenAI’s latest model. It only uses your content — no external sources, no guessing. If the answer isn’t in the knowledge base, it says so clearly.

Is it really free?

Yes. The free plan includes 75 content items, 75 messages/month, and 2 assistants. No credit card. Paid plans start at 4 EUR/month when you need more.

How fast do content changes sync?

4-5 seconds. Webhook-based sync means new posts appear almost instantly, edits propagate immediately, and deleted content vanishes from the knowledge base without any manual action.

How does lead detection work?

When a visitor shows buying intent — asking about pricing, demos, consultations — the assistant smoothly collects their contact details through conversation. Names, emails, phone numbers, budget, timeline. No forms to fill out. You get qualified leads delivered to your dashboard.

Is my data secure?

We store only published post content (title, body, author, tags, categories, date). Conversations are stored securely and accessible only through your dashboard — never shared with third parties or used for model training. All data is encrypted and compliant with major data protection regulations.

What content sources are supported?

WordPress — Posts, pages, custom post types with full taxonomy and metadata YouTube — Individual videos or entire channels with transcript extraction Framer — Full-site scan with AI-powered content cleaning PDFs — Up to 50 pages with page-level source tracking URLs — Any webpage Text — Direct input with formatting support

Can I use it outside WordPress?

Yes. EchoAI also offers: – Framer components — Drag-and-drop floating button and inline widget – JavaScript SDK — Works with React, Vue, Angular, or vanilla JS. One script tag. – Direct links — Share any assistant via URL, no integration required

What shortcode parameters are available?

[echo_ai height="500"] — Height in pixels [echo_ai backgroundcolor="#ffffff"] — Background color [echo_ai assistant_id="123456"] — Override the default assistant

Can I run different assistants on different pages?

Yes. Every assistant has a unique ID. Use a sales assistant on product pages and a support assistant in the help center. Both the Gutenberg block and shortcode accept an assistant ID parameter.

Can I create multiple assistants?

Absolutely. Create as many as you need: – Customer support — Product questions, order help, general inquiries – Sales — Product recommendations, comparisons, purchase assistance – Technical support — Troubleshooting, setup guides, step-by-step solutions – Educational — Course guidance, homework help, resource recommendations

Each gets its own personality, instructions, greeting, and suggested questions.
