Example ChatGPT Chatbot in WordPress
Here's a step by step guide to how to add ChatGPT to WordPress
Prerequisites
- OpenAI ChatGPT Account: https://platform.openai.com/signup
- Social Intents Account: https://www.socialintents.com
- WordPress account
High Level Steps
- Create a Live Chat app in Social Intents
- Create your OpenAI API Key after registration
- Add your OpenAI API Key to your Social Intents chatbot settings.
- Deploy your Live Chat plugin to WordPress using our WordPress Live Chat Plugin.
1. Create a Live Chat app in Social Intents
If you don't already have an account with Social Intents, simply register for a Free Trial.
Once you sign up you can pick an integration with Microsoft Teams, Slack or a standalone account. The integrations will be used to invite in Live Chat agents when you want to escalate a website chat from the chatbot to live chat agents. You can answer chats in Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, or Webex. Otherwise, you can answer the chats directly in our web-based dashboard.
2. Create your OpenAI account
If you haven't already, sign up for your OpenAI account here:
Once logged in to OpenAI, click on your profile and select 'View API keys'
Now create a new API Key to use in your Social Intents Chatbot Settings for integration.
** Please note that you need to add billing information to OpenAI in order to use the ChatGPT api.
3. Add your OpenAI API Key to Social Intents
Now that you have create a Live Chat app, go to the Chat Settings in Social Intents by clicking on My Apps, then Edit Settings of your chat widget. Click on the Chatbot Settings tab.
In your Chatbot Settings name your bot, choose an avatar for the chat bot and select Chatbot Type of 'ChatGPT with OpenAI'.
You can then decide how you want your chatbot to be invited into the chat. You can have a chatbot only, then invite agents later, have it pick up only when your live chat agents are offline or miss a chat, or join the same time your agents join.
For ChatGPT Model, you can choose any of the models the OpenAI supports with the Chat API: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/chat
We choose the current chat model: gpt-3.5-turbo.
Copy your OpenAI API Key into the field called: ChatGPT API Key.
Next you can customize your ChatGPT Welcome text with a Default Welcome Response, and Quick Reply buttons to help direct your users.
The Human Escalation trigger phrases can be used to match on user intent when they want to reach to a live agent. When one of these phrases is matched, we invite your human agents by sending Live Chat Invites to Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, or Webex.
Once your agents answer the chats, then the bot drops out of the conversation.
Finally, because training isn't yet supported in the OpenAI Chat API yet, we've exposed Instruction Phrases to allow to you send an initial System message when starting a chat to give your ChatGPT bot some context.
Once ChatGPT 4 is widely available, we'll open up additional options for training and plugins.
