Most websites lose 80% of their visitors because they don’t find what they are looking for within 5 seconds. Fabio AI ChatBot Lite adds an AI chatbot that answers visitors’ questions and drives them to the right content.
Fabio AI ChatBot Lite is a WordPress plugin that installs an AI-powered chatbot to help visitors quickly find accurate information on your website. Fabio AI ChatBot Lite answers exclusively from your WordPress, WooCommerce, and bbPress content. The chatbot never uses external knowledge or the public internet. Fabio Lite answers in your WordPress installation language, fitting nearly all languages on earth. Icing on the cake : the analytics features.
You choose which AI provider generates the answers: OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral AI, or Anthropic (Claude). Bring your own API key from any of these providers. The cost with entry-level models is about 1 USD for 300 conversations (questions and answers).
Video tutorials (“how to” guides) are available on the official YouTube channel

API keys are stored locally in your WordPress database and are only used to authenticate requests to the provider you selected. You are responsible for complying with the terms and policies of the AI provider you choose to use.
Privacy
The analytics features store the following data in your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent to Fabio-Plugins.com or to any server other than the AI provider you selected.
- Each visitor question, the chatbot answer, the date and time, the sources shown, and an intent label (for example “price” or “support”).
- A random session identifier, generated in the visitor’s browser and kept in the browser session storage only. It is not a cookie, it is deleted when the tab is closed, and it only links the questions of one visit together.
- The path of the page where the question was asked (without the query string).
- The clicks on the links shown by the chatbot (link address and time), linked to the conversation by the session identifier.
The plugin does not store IP addresses, names, email addresses or user accounts. Questions typed by visitors are free text: please inform your visitors, in your privacy policy, that their questions are processed by the AI provider you selected. You can download the conversations as a CSV file and delete them from the Analytics page. The intent label is returned by the AI provider together with the answer, without any additional request.
