Changelog

• New: contact channels — besides WhatsApp you can offer Email, Telegram, LINE and Viber. Add whichever you use under Widget & Contact → Contact channels. One channel shows a single button; several show a "Talk to a person" button that lists them. Each one opens with your pre-filled message, plus an AI summary of the conversation when there is one
• Changed: the "Widget & WhatsApp" tab is now "Widget & Contact". Nothing to redo — your WhatsApp number and message keep working as they are, and the message is now shared by every channel
• Improved: the assistant and the privacy policy text now mention whichever channels you actually set up, not just WhatsApp
• Improved: on a short question in the middle of a conversation, the assistant follows the language the visitor was already using, instead of falling back to your site's language
• Fixed: clearing the WhatsApp number left the country code saved behind, so WhatsApp kept showing as an option with nowhere to go. Emptying the number now turns WhatsApp off

• New: the assistant can now give visitors a direct link to the page or article it found. Scanning pages now keeps each page's address alongside its information, scan your pages again to enable it. If it has no matching link, it says so instead of guessing one
• Fixed: ordinary questions could get the reply "I can't follow instructions embedded in your message", as if the visitor had tried to manipulate the assistant. That no longer happens
• Fixed: on sites whose main language differs from the visitor's, a reply could come back in the site's language even though the question was clearly written in another, most often on the second question of a conversation. The assistant now follows the visitor's language
• Improved: "Select all" in the pages-to-scan picker is now a real checkbox, with a live "N of M selected" count
• Improved: web addresses in chat replies now show as a rounded box instead of a fully round pill, which looked odd when an address wrapped onto two lines

• Fixed: the "Scan Pages" feature (Company & Content → Pages) could come back empty on pages built with a page builder like Bricks, or with content stored in ACF fields — it only ever looked at the page's raw stored content. It now reads the same rendered page a visitor would see, so it works no matter which builder or fields your content lives in
• New: you can now scan more than 10 pages at once — raise the new "Pages per scan" limit under Company & Content → Pages, and a larger selection is scanned automatically in batches behind the scenes
• Improved: a "Select all" option in the pages-to-scan picker, so scanning every entry of a post type takes one click instead of checking each one by hand

• Fixed: on sites using a full-page caching plugin (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, and similar), the assistant could occasionally reply with "Cookie check failed" instead of a real answer — most likely to show up right after turning on the pre-chat consent checkbox. The widget now recovers from this on its own, silently, without the visitor ever seeing it

• Fixed: choosing which pages show the widget required holding Ctrl (or Cmd on a Mac) while clicking to select more than one page, an easy way to end up with only one page saved without realizing it. It's now a plain list of checkboxes, so picking several pages works exactly as you'd expect

• New: choose between Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT) and DeepSeek right from the AI Provider tab, each with its own selection of models — from the fastest and cheapest for high chat volume, up to the most capable
• DeepSeek in particular is dramatically cheaper than the alternatives, which makes a busy chat widget far more affordable to run
• Every provider keeps its own API key and chosen model saved separately, so you can try one, switch back, and pick up exactly where you left off
• The live cost estimate and the daily spending cap work the same for all three, so you always know what a reply costs before you commit to it
• Contact details the assistant gives out — a phone number, a support email, a social profile, any web address — now appear as tappable buttons instead of plain text the visitor had to select and copy by hand. On a phone that means one tap to call or to write, at exactly the moment someone decided to get in touch
• Fixed: when a conversation hit its maximum length, the message asked visitors to start a new conversation — but there was no way for them to do that. It now explains that they can continue after a short wait (if you had customized this message yourself, your own wording is kept)
• Fixed: on the rare occasion the AI returned an empty reply, the widget went on showing the typing dots forever, with nothing to tell the visitor it had finished. It now shows a short message instead, which you can reword under Widget Text
• Fixed: the cost estimate was too optimistic. It assumed a small, fixed amount of text per message instead of measuring the business information you have actually filled in — which is re-sent to the AI on every single message. It now reflects your real setup, so the number you plan with is the number you get

First stable release. Here's everything Fancy AI Chatbot does for you and your visitors:

• Answers visitor questions using your real business info — services, pricing, FAQs, business hours and contacts — automatically, in whichever language they write in
• Replies appear instantly as they're written, so visitors are never left staring at a blank screen
• You choose which AI model powers the assistant, with a clear cost estimate shown before you save
• A daily spending cap keeps costs predictable, with an email alert if it's ever reached and a one-click way to resume early
• Automatically recognizes and blocks attempts to trick the assistant, and can block repeat troublemakers — genuine questions are never affected
• A WhatsApp button hands visitors off to a real person when needed, with an AI-written summary so your team isn't starting cold
• Works with WordPress's own privacy tools out of the box, and lets you review, search and export the contact details visitors share
• Match the widget to your brand: name, avatar, color, position on the page, an optional contact form before chatting, and a friendly message bubble that invites visitors to say hello
• See exactly how the widget will look and behave with a live preview, right inside your settings
• Agency and Scale customers can present the plugin under their own name and branding for their clients
• Setting it up on a local or test copy of your site before going live doesn't use up any of your license's site allowance
