1 ratingAlynivo is live chat and AI chatbots for WordPress customer support — answer visitors automatically, then hand over to a real person in the same chat when it matters.
Engage website visitors, handle customer enquiries around the clock, and on WooCommerce guide shoppers from category and budget to a matching product. When a conversation needs a human, your team takes over without the visitor starting again. Everything lands in one shared inbox: browser, phone (mobile web app), and wp-admin.
Think of it as a small helpdesk built into WordPress: the assistant answers first, and when it cannot, there is a clean handover to a person in the same window. Anything stored is EU hosted — on a server in Germany, never outside the EU.
The free core plugin works entirely inside WordPress and does not send visitor or catalog data to any external service. Optional managed AI and Live Chat are paid add-ons when you want natural-language answers and human takeover.
🚀 Why teams choose Alynivo
- ✅ Answers around the clock — and never a fake “agent online” when nobody is there
- ✅ AI answers first, seamless takeover by your team in the same window
- ✅ Shared inbox for browser, phone, and WordPress admin
- ✅ Guided product selling for WooCommerce (category → budget → add to cart)
- ✅ Works on any WordPress site — shops and service sites
- ✅ GDPR-aware by design: the free core keeps funnel analytics on your own server
- ✅ Customer support conversations stored in Germany, with short and controllable retention
🧠 It knows your website, not just its name
Two things save you from typing your whole business into a settings screen.
- A first draft on setup. When you install Alynivo, it reads your home page and your services page once and fills the knowledge fields with a suggestion. You see it before it is used, you change what does not fit, and nothing is saved until you finish the setup. Fields you have already written stay untouched — the draft only ever fills what is empty. Prices are deliberately left out: pages often carry outdated ones, and an assistant repeating them sounds confident and is wrong.
- The page in front of the visitor. With every question, up to 1,200 characters of the page the visitor is currently reading go to the assistant. Someone standing on your services page asking “what does that mean exactly?” gets an answer about that page, not about your site in general. Nothing is stored, it is always current because it is the live page, and your own answers always outrank it. Switchable off in one click.
💬 Live Chat & human takeover
Turn the widget into a real support channel without changing tools mid-conversation.
- Watch the AI reply, then join the thread yourself
- Proactive outreach: a fixed opening message after a visitor stays on a page, then a normal conversation
- An honest offline path: when nobody is attending, the assistant says so and asks for an email address instead of promising a reply
- Internal notes and file attachments on a conversation
- Page context for agents (optional, consent-aware)
Live Chat is an optional paid add-on and stays off until you enable it.
🧠 Answers that work without an account
- Your own questions and answers, matched right in the visitor’s browser — no AI, no cost, included in the free version
- Visitors can leave an enquiry (name, e-mail, message) when the assistant cannot help; it arrives by e-mail from your own site
- Deterministic answers for delivery, payment, and security out of the box
- Optional managed AI for natural free-text answers about your business
- Knowledge context + persona/tone per site
- Clear AI disclosure in the widget when managed AI is active
🛒 Built for WooCommerce (and fine without it)
- Uses your published products and categories
- Budget-aware recommendations and direct add-to-cart for simple products
- Store / Service / Both modes — Service mode for agencies and non-shop sites

- Per-product teaser bubble override from the product edit screen
📥 One inbox everywhere

Privacy Statement
Alynivo does not transmit visitor or catalog data to Alynivo or any third-party service by default.
The plugin stores the following data locally in your WordPress database, in a table it creates on activation:
- Funnel events (for example: planner started, platform chosen, plan viewed, plan chosen, added to cart) with a timestamp and the associated product/category identifiers.
- A daily-rotating pseudonymous session hash used only to estimate unique visitors for the funnel summary. Raw visitor IP addresses are never stored in the Alynivo events table.
This data stays on your own site and is automatically deleted after 90 days. It is also removed when the plugin is uninstalled. If you enable the optional managed AI extension, the widget clearly identifies itself as an AI assistant and links to the site’s WordPress privacy-policy page. The current message, a short conversation window, the language, the title and type of the page, up to 1,200 characters of that page’s visible text, and any configured knowledge and persona context are sent to the disclosed AI provider through Alynivo’s server-side proxy; no provider API keys are ever exposed to the visitor’s browser. The page text is read from the page the visitor is already looking at, is never stored, and is sent only to answer the current question. Without Live Chat the managed service counts messages for your quota but does not store their content. With Live Chat enabled the messages are stored — see the next paragraph. Provider processing and retention are governed by the separately disclosed managed-service terms and subprocessor list.
If you enable Live Chat, conversations are stored so your team can continue and review them. Storage is on a server in Germany, with a default retention of 30 days that you can shorten to 7 or 14 days. Stored data covers the messages themselves, internal notes your team writes, attachments sent in the conversation, and — only if a visitor consents — the title and path of the page they are on. Unsent text is never transmitted. Notifications to your team’s devices contain only a generic notice and opaque identifiers, never message content.
When you deactivate the plugin, a short form asks why. It is entirely optional: nothing is collected in the background, and nothing leaves your site unless you press “Send and deactivate”. “Just deactivate” and the close button switch the plugin off without sending anything, and if JavaScript is unavailable the normal WordPress deactivate link is untouched. If you do send it, an e-mail goes from your own site to kontakt@alynivo.de containing only what you typed — the reason you picked, your optional note and your optional e-mail address — plus your site address, the plugin version and your WordPress version. It is used to fix problems, never for marketing, and the address can be changed with the alynivo_deactivation_feedback_email filter.
Yes — but what it can answer depends on the plan, and the difference is worth knowing before you decide.
The free version answers around the clock from the questions and answers you stored yourself. Those live in your own WordPress and know nothing about office hours. What it cannot do is handle a question you did not anticipate: there the visitor is offered a contact form instead.
With Managed AI the assistant also answers free-text questions in natural language at three in the morning, grounded in your own business knowledge.
A person only takes over when a person is there, and the widget says so plainly rather than showing an “agent online” dot to an empty room.
Live Chat lets a real person take over a conversation the AI started, in the same chat window. You see every conversation in one inbox — browser, phone, and wp-admin. It is optional: without it the widget keeps answering automatically.
An optional Live Chat setting that sends a fixed opening message on your own initiative once a visitor has stayed on a page (or the site) for a configured number of seconds — for example, “Questions about pricing? I’m here to help.” on your pricing page. No AI cost for that first message. If the visitor replies, the conversation continues exactly like any other Live conversation. Off by default.
Alynivo does not promise a person who is not there. While no agent is attending, the widget says so instead of showing a fake “agent online”, the assistant keeps answering, and it asks for an email address when a human reply is needed.
On a server in Germany, deleted automatically after 30 days by default. You can shorten that to 7 or 14 days, export a conversation, and delete any conversation at any time. Text a visitor types but never sends is never transmitted or stored.
Yes. Guided product selling needs WooCommerce, but the chat, the takeover, and the inbox work on any WordPress site.
No. The core plugin uses deterministic answers and works without any external account. A managed AI connection is available separately for sites that want natural-language answers.
Variable products are linked to their product page so visitors can select attributes. Direct add-to-cart is limited to simple purchasable products.
Developers can adjust recommendation queries and product payloads with the documented Alynivo filters, or build a dedicated store adapter using the planner contract.
Alynivo records pseudonymous, aggregate funnel events (for example, “planner started” or “added to cart”) in your own WordPress database. No raw IP addresses are stored; sessions use a daily-rotating hash generated on your server. No data is sent to Alynivo or any third party by the core plugin. See Privacy below.
The widget script loads in the footer, so it does not block rendering of your page or delay your largest content element. You also control exactly which pages the widget appears on, so it is not loaded where you do not need it.
Install, activate, and the widget is live with sensible defaults. Choosing pages, tone, and welcome text takes a few minutes in one settings screen — no theme edits and no code.
Built-in: German, English, French, Turkish, Italian, Spanish. You can override title, welcome, and teaser text per language in the settings.
