About this plugin
Kivunly adds a small chat bubble to your site. Visitors ask what they’re looking for, and the AI answers with links to your own content — your reviews, articles, categories and products — instead of generic answers.
Built to be light and private:
- No cookies. No analytics. No tracking pixels.
- No third-party scripts — all widget code is bundled in the plugin and served from your own site.
- Conversation history lives only in the visitor’s browser (sessionStorage) and disappears when the tab session ends.
- Nothing loads on your pages until you enable the widget and configure an endpoint.
Customizable from the settings page:
- Bot name, tagline, greeting and teaser bubble
- Suggested-question buttons (“chips”)
- Brand colors and logo
- Bottom-left or bottom-right position (RTL-friendly)
Bring your own AI backend. Kivunly is the front end; replies come from the chat endpoint you configure — either the hosted Kivunly service (paid, includes automatic indexing of your site’s content) or any backend you run yourself that implements the simple request format below.
com.
Request format (for self-hosted backends)
The widget sends a POST request with a JSON body to your endpoint:
com/current-page" }
" }. Markdown links and bold in the reply are rendered; everything else is displayed as plain text.
External Services
This plugin connects to the AI chat backend that you, the site owner, configure on the settings page. It makes no network requests at all until an endpoint is configured and the widget is enabled.
When a visitor sends a message in the chat widget, the following data is transmitted to the configured endpoint, solely to generate a reply:
- The message text the visitor typed
- The recent conversation history from the current browser session (up to the last 8 messages)
- The URL of the page the visitor is on
- The site key you configured (used by the backend to identify your site)
No other personal data, cookies or identifiers are sent. com/) as your endpoint, its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy apply. If you configure your own backend, you are responsible for its data handling.
The plugin also adds suggested wording to Settings → Privacy for your site’s privacy policy.
