Three Ways to Have Your Opensolr Chat Bot
The same Opensolr chat bot, answering your visitors from your Opensolr Index with every source linked, comes in three ways. Pick the one that fits your site.
1. The embed code from your Opensolr account
Opensolr runs the chat for you. In the Control Panel of your index, open Chat Bot under WebCrawler, list the domains of your site and paste one line on your pages, or switch the chat on for the hosted search page of the index. Nothing to install on your server; settings, stats and history are all in your Control Panel. It works on any site whose pages can take that line.

- The product: Opensolr Hosted Chat Bot
2. Drupal, WordPress and TYPO3: one switch
On a Drupal, WordPress or TYPO3 site with the Opensolr Search module, plugin or extension, the same chat shows on every page with one switch. The Chat Bot tab of the module or the plugin opens the Chat Bot of your index in one click: list the domain of your site, switch on Show the chat on the hosted search page and on your Drupal or WordPress site and save. Its settings, stats and history are in your Control Panel, like the embed code's.

- WordPress: the Chat Bot for WordPress
- TYPO3: the Chat Bot for TYPO3
3. The open source Opensolr Chat Bot client
You install the chat on your own PHP site and run it there, with its own admin page, settings and data on your server. It connects to your Opensolr Index with your account email and an API key. Use it when you want the chat and its conversations on your own server.

The three answer the same way, with the same lookups and the same commands. All three need an Opensolr Index filled with your site's data (a crawl of your site, Data Ingestion, the Drupal module or the WordPress plugin) and the AI of your plan: What the chat bot needs.
