REAIGENT7 Chat adds a floating AI chat widget to your listing pages. When a buyer visits a listing on your site, they can ask questions about the property, neighborhood, schools, market conditions, and more — powered by 25+ real data sources. Features: * AI chat trained on your specific listing data * 25+ market data sources (schools, flood risk, walkability, climate, migration trends, and more) * Automatic listing detection — by MLS number (in the URL or IDX plugin data), by matching link names, or by street address in the URL or page title. Works with IDX Broker, ShowcaseIDX, ihomefinder, AgentPress, and more. * Never a broken install: on listing pages where the exact listing can’t be identified, buyers get a “which home?” picker instead of nothing * Pin a listing to any page with the [reaigent7_chat listing=”…”] shortcode or the REAIGENT7 Chat box in the page editor * Personalized inspection checklists for showings and open houses — buyers share their priorities, AI returns a custom list of what to look for * Natural lead capture — the AI suggests buyers share their contact info * Fully customizable in the REAIGENT7 dashboard — choose your color, button text, font, and one of 8 screen positions; settings sync across browsers via your REAIGENT7 account * Mobile-responsive floating widget * Resilient: settings are cached and served even during brief connectivity hiccups, so the chat stays up Third-Party Service This plugin connects to REAIGENT7, an external service, to power the AI chat widget. Specifically: Configuration API — On each page load (cached for 5 minutes, with a saved fallback used during outages), the plugin sends your API key to https://reaigent7.com/api/embed/config to retrieve your listing data and embed settings. Chat widget script — When a listing page is detected, the plugin loads https://reaigent7.com/embed/chat.js which renders the chat interface. Chat iframe — The chat widget opens an iframe to https://reaigent7.com/embed/chat/{listing-slug} where buyer conversations are processed by AI. The chat widget script and iframe render UI elements directly inside your site’s pages (a floating chat button and panel on detected listing pages). All buyer messages and AI responses are processed on REAIGENT7 servers via the iframe. A REAIGENT7 account is required — the plugin works during the free 14-day trial (no credit card needed), and on any paid plan after that. By using this plugin, you agree to the REAIGENT7 Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Privacy This plugin sends data to REAIGENT7 servers (reaigent7.com): Your API key is sent on each configuration request (cached for 5 minutes) Buyer chat messages are processed on REAIGENT7 servers via the embedded iframe No WordPress user data or visitor personal information is collected or sent by the plugin itself For details, see the REAIGENT7 Privacy Policy.
