Ghost AI Chat Widget

A Ghost publication succeeds when a casual reader becomes a subscriber, and that leap usually happens when they get a quick, satisfying answer - about your archive, a membership tier, or the exact article they half-remember. An AI chat widget is how you deliver that answer without personally replying to every message.

EasyChatWidget installs through Ghost Code Injection in one step and reads your posts and pages so it can point readers to the right piece. It works across the whole publication and loops you in by email or WhatsApp whenever a reader or member needs you directly.

Ghost chat widget FAQ

How do I add a chat widget to a Ghost site?

In Ghost Admin open Settings → Advanced → Code injection, paste the EasyChatWidget snippet into the Site Footer field, and save. It shows up across the publication straight away.

Does it work with Ghost memberships and subscriptions?

Yes. Loading site-wide means it can answer questions about your tiers and content on any page a reader lands on.

No. Code injection adds the snippet outside your theme files, so it keeps working after theme updates.

No. It loads asynchronously, so your posts render at full speed.
