About this plugin
PepeBot adds a floating contact button to your WordPress site that expands so visitors can reach you instantly. It is free and works on its own: just enter your phone number, WhatsApp and/or email, and a contact bubble appears on your site.
Optionally, with a PepeBot subscription, that same button becomes an AI-powered conversational assistant that learns your site content (pages, posts, FAQs and your WooCommerce catalog) to answer your customers about your products and services.
Free features (no subscription)
- Floating contact button that expands in the corner of your site.

Without an active subscription, the widget only shows the contact buttons. es
Third-party service (required for AI)
The AI chat features rely on an external service. The plugin does NOT connect directly to the language model API and does NOT store any OpenAI key on your server. Instead, it sends requests to the secure PepeBot proxy, which signs every call with HMAC-SHA256 and forwards it to the AI provider (OpenAI).
es/api/chat
What data is sent and when: each time a visitor sends a message in the chat, the following is transmitted to the PepeBot proxy: your site domain, a timestamp, an HMAC signature and the recent conversation history (the user and assistant messages). That content is forwarded to the AI provider (OpenAI) to generate the reply. No additional personal data is sent beyond what the visitor types in the chat.
The free contact buttons do not send any data to external services.

Privacy / stored data
With AI enabled, the plugin stores a record of conversations in your site’s database (table {prefix}_pepebot_conversations ) so you can review them in the dashboard. Each record includes the role (user/assistant), the message content and a session identifier. To group messages from the same conversation, a first-party cookie is used ( pepebot_session, 24 hours); if it is not available, the identifier is derived (hashed) from the visitor’s IP and user agent.
History is kept for 30 days (filterable) and removed when the plugin is uninstalled. The free contact buttons store no data and use no cookies.
Please disclose this processing in your own privacy policy where applicable.
