Add an AI agent to your site in 60 seconds. Capture leads, book appointments, and engage visitors 24/7. No coding required.

== Description ==

**Don't lose leads because you can't respond fast enough.**

LoopHQ is an AI-powered customer engagement platform. Deploy intelligent AI agents on your WordPress site that handle customer conversations, capture and qualify leads, book appointments, and drive conversions — all trained on your business content.

Loop agents are not FAQ bots that match keywords and return static answers. They are conversational AI agents that understand what customers are asking, handle multi-turn conversations with context, and guide visitors toward outcomes using your actual business knowledge.

= Why LoopHQ? =

* **Trained on your content** — Upload documents, add Q&A, or import your website. Your agent knows YOUR business.
* **Captures leads automatically** — Smart forms appear at the right moment to capture name, email, and phone.
* **Google Calendar booking** — Visitors book appointments directly in the chat. Real-time availability, automatic calendar invites.
* **Works while you sleep** — 24/7 availability means you never miss a potential customer.
* **Multi-channel** — Your agent works across your website, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram DM from a single dashboard.
* **Multi-language** — Supports English and Spanish with automatic detection.
* **Mobile-optimized** — Beautiful on every device.
* **No coding required** — Install, paste your Project ID, done.

= Who is LoopHQ for? =

Any business that engages with customers online: home services, health & wellness, professional services (law, accounting, real estate), auto services, beauty & personal care, SaaS, e-commerce, and more.

= Pricing =

The WordPress plugin is **free**. LoopHQ offers a free plan with 50 messages/month. Paid plans start at $39/month for more messages, advanced features, and multiple agents. [View plans](https://loophq.dev/#pricing)

= How it works =

1. Sign up for a free LoopHQ account at [loophq.dev](https://loophq.dev)
2. Create your AI agent and train it on your content
3. Install this plugin and paste your Project ID
4. Your agent appears on every page — ready to engage visitors

All customization (colors, position, welcome message, lead capture settings) is managed from your [LoopHQ dashboard](https://loophq.dev/dashboard). Changes apply instantly — no plugin updates needed.

= External Service =

This plugin relies on **[LoopHQ](https://loophq.dev)** as a third-party service to provide AI agent functionality. A free LoopHQ account is required.

**What the plugin sends to LoopHQ:**

* Your **Project ID** — to load the correct agent configuration
* A **deployment ping** on plugin activation — to confirm your agent is live (contains only your Project ID and the source "wordpress")

**What loads on your site:**

* The LoopHQ widget script (`https://loophq.dev/widget.js`) is loaded asynchronously on every page for visitors to interact with your AI agent. Visitor messages are processed by LoopHQ's AI service.

**Service links:**

* [LoopHQ Terms of Service](https://loophq.dev/legal/terms)
* [LoopHQ Privacy Policy](https://loophq.dev/legal/privacy)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a LoopHQ account? =

Yes. The plugin connects your WordPress site to your LoopHQ AI agent. [Sign up free](https://loophq.dev/signup) — takes 2 minutes.

= Is it free? =

The plugin is completely free. LoopHQ has a free plan with 50 messages/month. Paid plans unlock more messages, advanced analytics, lead scoring, and more.

= How do I customize the agent's appearance? =

All visual settings (color, position, welcome message, popup timing) are managed from your [LoopHQ dashboard](https://loophq.dev/dashboard). Changes apply instantly on your WordPress site — no plugin update needed.

= Does it work with my theme? =

Yes. The agent works with all WordPress themes including Elementor, Divi, GeneratePress, Astra, and the default Twenty Twenty-Five theme.

= Does it work with caching plugins? =

Yes. The widget script loads asynchronously and works with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and others.

= Does it slow down my site? =

No. The script loads asynchronously (non-blocking) and has zero impact on your page load speed. It's under 26KB.

= What happens if I run out of credits? =

The agent gracefully shows a contact fallback (email/phone) so visitors can still reach you. It automatically reactivates when credits are available.

= Can I use it on multiple sites? =

Each LoopHQ agent has its own Project ID. You can install the plugin on multiple WordPress sites — each pointing to the same or different agents depending on your plan.
