Step-by-Step Guide
Install the Vatdi plugin
Go to Plugins > Add New in your WordPress dashboard and search for "Vatdi". Click Install and Activate.
Connect your Vatdi account
Enter your Vatdi API key in the plugin settings. If you do not have an account, create one free at vatdi.com.
Auto-train on your content
The plugin syncs your pages, posts, and products automatically. Vatdi indexes everything for AI-powered answers.
Customize and publish
Set your preferred colors, welcome message, and widget position. Save settings and the chatbot appears on your site immediately.
Why WordPress Sites Need AI Chat
WordPress powers over 40% of the web, yet most sites rely on static FAQ pages. An AI chatbot turns your existing content into interactive conversations that keep visitors engaged and reduce bounce rates significantly.
Plugin vs Embed Code
Vatdi offers both a WordPress plugin and a manual embed code. The plugin auto-injects the widget on every page and syncs content updates automatically. The embed code is ideal if you prefer granular control over placement.
Works with Popular Page Builders
Whether you use Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, or WPBakery, the Vatdi chatbot sits as an overlay widget and never interferes with your layout or builder functionality.
