Many websites, lovingly built and maintained over the years, run on WordPress. However, some features—especially local search—have become somewhat outdated. So, let’s see if we can integrate a modern ChatBot to enhance WordPress…
If you self-host WordPress and are comfortable with it, you can simply copy the integration JavaScript snippet from the HybridAI backend (Tab: Integration) into your footer.php or header.php file.
But we wanted to make it even easier for everyone, so we developed a plugin! With this, you only need to enter your Chatbot ID in a settings page under “Settings” in WordPress—and voilà, the HybridAI ChatBot is up and running! You can now configure it just like any other WordPress element, adapting it to your site’s look & feel.
Now, your blog has a conversation bot powered by a modern AI backend, enriched with additional information and function calls to make it even smarter.
But of course, this is HybridAI—so there’s more…
We thought it would be really cool if the chatbot could use WordPress search via a function call to retrieve blog articles and provide instant results. And guess what? It works!
Soon, function calls will be configurable in the interface for every bot owner. That means you’ll be able to set your WordPress URL for this functionality.
Conclusion
HybridAI significantly enhances WordPress by adding a powerful ChatBot. And now, with a special function call, the bot can even search blog content and return clickable links as responses. 🚀
