- Change the title, color, suggested questions and contact link from WordPress
- A publish switch shows or hides the chatbot on your site straight away
Turn your WordPress posts and pages into the AI's knowledge

- Nothing is sent until you press "Sync now". There is no automatic sync
- Upload PDF, Word and Excel files for the AI to read, straight from WordPress
- Type short facts such as opening hours or shipping fees, and edit them later
See what visitors asked, without leaving WordPress

- Read questions and answers in the order they were exchanged
- See whether visitors marked an answer helpful or not helpful
- Fill the gaps by adding content for the questions it could not answer
See how many answers you have left this month at a glance
The answers you have used this month and the documents you have added are shown side by side with your plan's limits. A notice appears only when you are close to the limit, so nothing stops without warning.
- Check your current plan and this month's usage inside WordPress
- Upgrade on the spot when you need more
- Card details are handled on Stripe's payment page and never stored in WordPress
What you'll need
WordPress admin access
You need an administrator account that can install and activate plugins.
A monoshiri AI account
You can create one for free while connecting. If you already have an account, just sign in and approve the connection.
Installing on WordPress
Everything happens inside the WordPress admin. No code editing, and no keys to copy by hand.
Install the "monoshiri AI Widget" plugin on WordPress
Go to WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New and search for "monoshiri AI". Click "Install Now" to install it.
Activate the plugin
Activate "monoshiri AI Widget" from the plugins list. A new "AI Chatbot" item appears in the left sidebar.
Press "Agree and connect"
Open "AI Chatbot" from the left sidebar and press "Agree and connect". The screen shows exactly what will be sent before you continue.
Approve it on monoshiri AI and you're live
Sign in to monoshiri AI (or create a free account there and then) and approve the connection. You are sent back to WordPress with the chatbot live. You can also choose where to display it (all pages / homepage only / static pages only).
Get the Official Plugin Now
Install directly from the official WordPress.org plugin directory. Search for 'monoshiri AI' in your WordPress admin, or open the plugin page via the button below.
Download on WordPress.orgFree · GPLv2 license · Requires WordPress 6.0 or later
Verify the install
Open your WordPress site and check that the chat button appears in the bottom right. If it doesn't appear, confirm that the connection finished on the settings screen and that the publish switch is on. The connection requires HTTPS, so on other sites you can still set the widget up by pasting an embed code.
