LoopHQ vs AI Chatbot & Support Agent

Your visitors get answers. You get booked appointments. LoopHQ puts an AI agent on your WordPress site, trained on your own pages, documents, and Q&A. It answers follow-up questions without losing the thread, and moves each conversation toward a next step: a booking, a captured lead, or a live person on your team. You can check that before you sign up. Enter your website address at loophq.dev and 60 seconds later you are talking to a trained agent that answers questions about your business. Your agent stays inside your content. It will not invent a service you don’t offer or quote a price you never published. When something isn’t covered, it says so and offers to take the visitor’s details. The same agent also answers Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, and SMS. Conversations and leads from every channel land in one dashboard. Why LoopHQ? Every answer comes from your own content. Add your website, upload documents, or write Q&A entries. Updates apply the moment you save them. Your agent asks the questions your team would ask. It qualifies the visitor, offers a time, captures the contact, or brings in your team. Visitors book on your real calendar. Connect Google Calendar and your agent offers open times, creates the event, and sends the invites. It won’t book over something you already have. Leads arrive scored and tagged. Each one carries a Hot, Warm, or Cold score, the service the visitor asked about, and the full conversation. Words like “leak” or “ASAP” push a lead to the top. One agent covers every channel. Website chat, Instagram DMs, Facebook Messenger, and SMS run on the same knowledge base and feed the same lead pipeline. Returning visitors don’t start over. When someone who chatted before comes back on the same channel, your agent picks up where they left off. You can take over any conversation. Step in from the dashboard, reply as yourself, and your agent resumes when you’re done. Your agent is bilingual. It detects whether a visitor is writing in English or Spanish and answers in that language, down to the widget’s own text. Installing takes no code. Paste your Project ID into the plugin settings and save. Everything else lives in your dashboard. The free plan runs the website agent with 100 message credits a month. Contact capture, Spanish, and analytics start on Starter. Live calendar booking, lead scoring, live takeover, and the Messenger, Instagram, and SMS channels are on Pro. Who is LoopHQ for? Any business where people ask questions before they book, buy, or call. LoopHQ ships industry-tuned behavior for home services, dental and medical practices, law and accounting firms, beauty studios and med spas, fitness studios, auto services, real estate, hospitality, childcare, pet services, SaaS, and e-commerce. Your agent asks what matters in your field. An HVAC visitor gets asked how urgent the problem is. A real estate visitor gets asked about area and timeline. For law firms, financial advisors, insurance agencies, and medical and dental practices, your agent runs with stricter behavior. It still answers the questions people ask most: who your team is, what you charge, how to book. Anything that needs professional judgment goes to a human, and the required disclaimers appear automatically. Pricing The WordPress plugin is free. LoopHQ offers a free plan with 100 message credits per month. Paid plans start at $39/month for more credits, advanced features, and multiple agents. View plans How it works Go to loophq.dev and enter your website address. In 60 seconds you have a working agent, trained on your pages and running side by side with your real site. Ask it the questions your customers ask, for as long as you want. Change its name, color, and industry while you watch. When you like what you see, claim it with your email and a 6-digit code. Your dashboard opens on the agent you tested, already trained. Open the Deploy tab, copy your Project ID, and paste it into this plugin. Claiming and deploying take about two minutes. From there you can add more content, connect your calendar and your other channels, and change how the agent looks and behaves. It all happens in your LoopHQ dashboard and applies instantly, with no plugin update needed. External Service This plugin relies on LoopHQ as a third-party service to provide AI agent functionality. A free LoopHQ account is required. What the plugin sends to LoopHQ: Your Project ID, which loads the correct agent configuration A deployment ping on plugin activation, which confirms your agent is live (contains only your Project ID and the source “wordpress”) What loads on your site: The LoopHQ widget script (https://loophq.dev/widget.js) is loaded asynchronously on every page for visitors to interact with your AI agent. Visitor messages are processed by LoopHQ’s AI service. Service links: LoopHQ Terms of Service LoopHQ Privacy Policy

You already know the old kind. A visitor asks a real question, the bot replies with a link to your FAQ page, and the visitor leaves. This is the other kind. Ultimo Bots puts a real AI support agent on your WordPress site. It answers from your own content, and then it does the actual work: books the meeting, looks up the order, saves the lead, and pulls you into the conversation when it matters. You describe it. It builds itself. There is no canvas to drag boxes around on. You open the builder and type what should happen, in your own words: “When someone asks about pricing, explain the plans and offer a demo call. If they want one, book it in my Cal.com and send the lead to HubSpot.” That is the entire build step. The agent is configured from that sentence. No code, no flowcharts, no developer, no agency. Changed your mind? Tell it. That is the edit step too. It doesn’t just answer. It acts. Connect the tools you already run, and the agent uses them mid-conversation: Books appointments in Cal.com, including reschedule and cancel, or hands over your Calendly link Takes payments and manages subscriptions through Stripe links. It can list, change, or cancel a subscription. Card details never enter the chat Saves and finds contacts in HubSpot, and subscribes visitors to Mailchimp with proper double opt-in Answers from your product catalog, with prices and stock, so “do you have this in blue” gets a real answer Calls your own API with your own credentials when you need something nobody else offers Captures leads inside the conversation and emails them to you the second they land Before the agent touches anything private, it emails the visitor a six-digit code and waits for it. Verified first, every time. One agent. Every channel. The same agent runs on your WordPress site, on a shareable chat link, in Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, Telegram, and Slack. You train it once and it shows up everywhere. Nothing to duplicate, nothing to keep in sync. It knows your business, and it will not invent Point it at your WordPress site and it reads it. Add PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, Google Drive, OneDrive, Notion. Every answer is built from your material, and one click re-scans your site whenever it changes. When it does not know something, it says so and offers you instead. That one habit is why people trust it on a live site. It detects the language your visitor is writing in and answers in it. You configure nothing. You stay in control Write your rules in plain words and the agent holds them, even when a visitor pushes back. Watch conversations as they happen and jump in yourself with one click. The agent goes quiet the moment you start typing and picks up again when you leave. Get pinged in Slack, Telegram, Teams, or email whenever someone wants a human. Everything is included Every capability above is on every plan. Plans differ in volume, not in what your agent can do. No per-seat pricing, no per-resolution fees, no “contact sales”. Start with a free trial, then from $19 a month. Live in about two minutes Activate the plugin, answer a few questions, and your agent is on your site. That is the whole setup.
