Chatporch

Chatporch is an AI chat widget for websites that answers visitor questions in the owner's own words and captures leads at any hour. It installs with a single script tag and works on WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow or plain HTML. The tool is built by Scalebloom LLC, a web development company, for website owners who want visitor questions answered on the spot instead of through a contact form.

A site owner pastes one script tag into a website, with no SDK or rebuild required, then describes the business in plain English and adds any knowledge the bot should use. Chatporch can also pull in a site's own pages automatically. The owner also sets a fallback, such as a phone number, email address or booking link, for questions the bot cannot answer.

Chatporch greets visitors with a few suggested starter questions that get instant answers before the AI is called, and every conversation is saved and tagged by topic for analytics on what visitors ask about most. The widget can be restyled with custom colors and button styles, opened from its own floating button or an existing site button, or mounted directly inside a page layout.

Chatporch offers a Free plan at $0 with no time limit and no credit card required, a Starter plan at $19 a month, and a Pro plan at $79 a month for busier teams. Paid plans add a smarter AI model, more monthly messages and more seats, and conversation history is kept for a window of 7 to 365 days depending on the plan before being deleted.
