AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Eliza Chatbot is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Szymon Jessa — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

Demo Try it out: Chat with ELIZA
Honoring Joseph Weizenbaum This application aims to honor the work of Joseph Weizenbaum, who created the first chatbot, ELIZA, in the 1960s at MIT, and significantly contributed to the discipline of Artificial Intelligence.
Introduction to ELIZA ELIZA was designed to mimic a Rogerian psychotherapist, and although it is based on a fairly short and simple script, it performed remarkably well and provided valuable insights into the nature of human-computer conversational interfaces. To recognize Weizenbaum’s work, I thought that ELIZA deserves a place here, alongside other plugins.
Technical Details This plugin functions offline and maintains user privacy by not collecting any data. It’s based on the original ‘ELIZA’ script, as published in Weizenbaum’s 1966 paper “ELIZA – A Computer Program For the Study of Natural Language Communication Between Man and Machine”.
Personal Motivation I also have a personal motivation for building this app. The German version of ELIZA was the first chatbot I’ve encountered in the ’90s. The limitations of ELIZA inspired me to develop a program that truly understands the user, rather than merely simulating understanding. This experience laid the foundation for my own project, which I started in 1996, and it has shaped my R&D career in AI.
AI for Personal Development In 2023, I discovered a new avenue that allows me to combine my desire to help people grow with my interest in developing conversational AI as an experimental means to study the human mind and psychology.
