Add an AI chatbot to WordPress in minutes.
Short answer
The AI Lead Responder from Paramount Exposure is the chat widget this page installs. On WordPress the install line goes in the footer: the Footer box of any header-and-footer plugin, or footer.php on the line above </body>. Save, and the chat widget is on every page, answering inquiries in under 60 seconds, in your voice, and sending people to your booking link. It never books. A free Paramount plugin that takes only your site key is being submitted to the plugin directory.
What you need
Two things, and five minutes.
- Your site key
- Issued by the setup form after checkout. It is the only thing in the install line that is yours; everything else is the same for every site.
- Access on WordPress
- An administrator account on a site that can install plugins (self-hosted WordPress, or a WordPress.com plan that allows plugins). The footer.php route needs only the Theme File Editor on a classic theme.
The install line
One line, pasted once.
On WordPress it goes in A footer plugin's Footer box, or footer.php before </body>. It loads the chat widget after your content and nothing else.

- 01
Get your site key
Buy the AI Lead Responder ($497 once). The setup email carries a link to a three-minute form; it hands back the install line with your site key in it.
- 02
Install a header-and-footer plugin
In your WordPress admin go to Plugins → Add New Plugin and search for a header and footer code plugin (WPCode is one). Click Install Now, then Activate. If you already have one, skip this step.
- 03
Paste into the Footer box
Open the plugin's settings (in WPCode: Code Snippets → Header & Footer). Paste the install line into the Footer box and click Save Changes.
- 04
Check a page
Open your site in a new tab. The Message us button sits bottom-right on every page. If you use a caching plugin, clear its cache once.
Someone else runs your site?
Send these steps to your web person.
A short note with the line, where it goes on WordPress, the steps and a link back to this page. The email button opens it in your own mail app, addressed to nobody until you fill in the name; the copy button gives you the longer version with every step written out, for a ticket or a message.
What happens after
It answers in under 60 seconds and sends people to your booking link. It never books.
From the moment the line is live, every inquiry typed into the Message us panel is answered in your voice, from the brief you wrote, around the clock. The responder qualifies the person with at most two of your questions per reply and sends them to your booking link; they pick the slot on your own calendar tool. Each conversation is emailed to you and listed in your dashboard, where you can change what it knows or pause it in one click. Your phone lines stay exactly as they are.

Another way
Without a plugin, or with ours
On a classic theme open Appearance → Theme File Editor → footer.php, paste the install line on the line above </body> and click Update File; a child theme keeps it through theme updates. Block themes have no footer.php, so they take the plugin route. The free Paramount AI Lead Responder plugin, which asks only for your site key, is being submitted to the WordPress plugin directory and will be linked here once it is listed.
Questions
WordPress, answered.
Is the Paramount plugin free?
Yes, and GPL-licensed. It takes your site key under Settings → AI Lead Responder and loads the line on every public page; without a key it loads nothing. It is not yet in the plugin directory; until it is, the footer route above does the same job. The responder it connects to is the $497 install.
Does it work with block themes and page builders?
Yes. A header-and-footer plugin adds the line through WordPress's own script queue, so it runs on every public page whatever the theme: block themes, classic themes, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WooCommerce storefronts.
What does the line send to Paramount?
Nothing until a visitor writes. Then the message, the name, email and phone number if the visitor gives them, and the address of the page it was sent from go to paramountexposure.com, to write the reply, to email the conversation to you and, if the visitor gave an email, to send them a copy of the reply. Your WordPress users, posts and settings are never read.
Where does the site key come from?
From the setup form. After the $497 checkout, the setup email carries one link; the form behind it asks five questions in your own words and hands back the install line with your key already in it. The key identifies your site and works on the domain you gave in the form, including its subdomains.
Does it book the appointment?
No. It qualifies the person, answers from the brief you wrote and sends them to your booking link. They pick the slot on your own calendar tool. The responder never books for you, and it never gives legal, medical or financial advice.
Will the line slow my site down?
No. The script is about 12 KB, loads with the async attribute after your own content, and nothing on your page waits for it. Visitors see a small Message us button bottom-right; the chat panel opens only when they click it.
How do I know it is working?
Open any page of your site after publishing and look for the Message us button bottom-right. Send yourself a test inquiry. The reply arrives in under 60 seconds, and a copy of the conversation lands in your notification inbox and in your dashboard.
How do I take it down or pause it?
Remove the line and it is gone. To pause without touching your site, open the dashboard and click pause; the button disappears and comes back when you resume.
What does it cost?
$497 once. No retainer, no subscription; up to 500 conversations a month is included. If the responder is not live within the published window it is refunded in full on request, per the terms, and the $497 credits toward any larger Paramount install within 30 days.
