The familiar floating bubble, with a brain that actually knows your site
SleekAI’s floating-button chatbot lives in the corner of every page you scope it to, reads wp_posts and wp_postmeta through your variable map, and answers from real site data using your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter key.
Floating bubbles are familiar, the brain behind them rarely is
Visitors expect a floating bubble in the bottom right of a website. The design language has been stable for a decade; people know what the bubble means, they know how to dismiss it, and they know it is the place they go when they have a question.
The bubble itself is not the problem with most chatbots. The problem is what happens after the click: a scripted decision tree, a hand-off to a contact form, or a generic LLM with no idea what site it is on. The bubble keeps its promise of availability and immediately breaks the promise of knowing anything.
SleekAI’s floating-button mode keeps the familiar shape and replaces the brain. The bubble looks like the bubble visitors expect.
The familiar bubble carries display rules underneath. You can hide the button on checkout, only show it on docs, switch it on for members, or run a different bot on Spanish pages. All of that is settings UI, not theme code. The bubble is the same bubble; the difference is the configurability of what it does and where it appears.
Features
Familiar shape
The bubble matches the design language visitors already recognize from a decade of chat widgets, so adoption is not a UX battle.
Scope rules
Display conditions control which pages show the bubble. Hide on checkout and login, only show on docs, switch off for admins, or run an entirely different bubble for logged-in members; all from the same settings tab.
Answers from your data
Map post titles, content, post meta, taxonomies or a WP_Query into the instruction, and the bot answers from what your site actually publishes.
Where the floating button still wins
E-commerce help
Persistent availability across the store with awareness of the current product. Shoppers ask about sizing, materials, and returns without leaving the page they are on.
Marketing sites
A familiar entry point on landing pages and product pages.
Support deflection
Across the help center the bubble offers first-line support.
How the floating button does its job
Enable the widget
Turn on the floating widget in the bot settings. The bubble appears on every page that matches the Display conditions.
Set display conditions
Decide which pages, post types, roles or logged-in states show the chatbot.
Set the scope
Use Display conditions to choose which pages show the bubble. Hide on checkout, restrict to docs, switch off for admins, or run a different bubble for logged-in members through the multibot configuration.
Map your data
Choose the posts, fields, taxonomies or users the bot should know and reference them in the instruction.
Why the bubble is still the right default
There is a recurring debate about whether the floating bubble has had its day. The argument against it is that visitors are trained to dismiss it, that it covers content, and that nobody opens it on purpose. The argument has the diagnosis wrong.
Visitors dismiss floating bubbles when the bubble carries no signal that opening it would help. They open bubbles that signal awareness of the page they are on. A bubble that says ‘Stuck on the size guide’ on a product page is opened more often than a bubble that says ‘Have a question’.
The bubble shape is not the issue; the empty bubble is the issue. Combined with display conditions that hide the bubble where it does not fit (checkout, login, account pages) and show it where it does (product pages, docs, pricing), the open rate moves materially.
The familiar shape is the right default because it is what visitors expect; the brain behind it is what makes the bubble actually useful. Keeping the shape and replacing the brain is the upgrade most floating chats need.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add the floating button to my site?
Install SleekAI and enable the floating widget in the bot settings. The plugin injects the bubble on every page that matches the Display conditions. Turn it off and it disappears.
Can I scope the bubble per page or section?
Yes. Display conditions cover post type, taxonomy term, logged-in state, and user role. Multibot lets you run different bubbles on different sections of the same site.
Can I style the bubble?
Yes. CSS custom properties expose every visual token so a designer can match the bubble to the site rather than picking from a limited preset menu.
What about performance?
The REST endpoint runs server-side WordPress queries.
Which AI providers does it support?
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and OpenRouter, plus custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. You bring your own API key and the provider bills you directly.
Where does the chatbot get its answers?
From the WordPress data you map into its instruction: post titles and content, post meta, ACF and Meta Box fields, taxonomies, terms, users and user meta, or a WP_Query. Values resolve on every request.
Can it act on a visitor’s behalf?
No. A chatbot answers questions.
Can I control where the chatbot appears?
Yes. Display conditions cover post type, post, post status, post template, taxonomy, term, user role, logged-in state and WordPress conditional tags such as front page, archive, search and 404.
