Mika AI Chat
Mika is a 24/7 sales assistant for small businesses. It lives on your website around the clock, answers visitor questions using your actual business information, captures leads, and handles appointment requests. No coding, no scripts, no flow building. Unlike most chatbots, Mika reads your website automatically and keeps learning from anything else you share, including service details, pricing, and the stories behind your business. It holds natural conversations and sends you warm leads the moment a visitor is ready to connect. Mika is powered by a self-learning visitor conversion engine informed by behavioral science research. It selects the right approach for each visitor based on what they type, what page they are on, and how the conversation unfolds.

Compatible with Elementor, Divi, Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, and all major page builders Built for Three Kinds of Businesses Mika is shaped by what real owners told us they actually need. The features below are organized by the kind of business you run. 1. Local Service Businesses If you run a salon, dental office, home services company, law practice, accounting firm, or any other local business, you already pay for every website visitor through ads or SEO. Most of them leave without saying a word. Mika talks to them. The pain we kept hearing from owners: contact forms get a 2-3% fill rate, after-hours calls go to voicemail, and visitors who do not get an instant answer book somewhere else by morning. What Mika does for local service businesses: 24/7 lead capture, including evenings and weekends Instant email notification with the visitor’s name, contact, and a summary of what they need Appointment request handling so visitors share preferred date and time, then you confirm Custom guardrails to keep conversations on topic and aligned with your business Proactive triggers that start conversations before visitors leave (exit intent, scroll, returning visitor) Automated follow-up email sequences after appointments (thank-you, reminders, review requests, rebook) 13 languages with Auto-Detect mode Free forever plan with around 30 conversations per month Paid plans start at $9.99/month for around 5 to 10 conversations per day, with a 14-day free trial 2. Healthcare Practices (Dentists, Therapists, Optometrists, Accountants) The pain we kept hearing from practice owners: most chat vendors claim compliance, but cannot explain where messages are stored, who has access, or whether anything is logged. Compliance officers reject vendors that cannot answer those questions. Mika offers a Privacy Mode that takes a different approach. Instead of trying to claim compliance, it stores nothing. What Mika does for healthcare practices: Zero-Storage Healthcare Privacy Mode. Visitor messages are processed and discarded. No transcripts, no contact info persisted in our database. Healthcare guardrails. Mika never asks about symptoms, diagnoses, or medications. All clinical questions are redirected to scheduling. Appointment requests only. Mika collects name, contact, preferred date and time, and general service. Nothing more. Secure notifications. Lead details are delivered through a one-time encrypted link. PIN is sent via a separate channel. Both are required to view the details. Tamper-evident audit log with cryptographic verification for every privacy event. Available on Standard Pro ($49.99/month). Privacy Mode is enabled during managed onboarding. Contact us at hiremika.com to set it up. We do not claim HIPAA compliance and we do not provide BAAs. The value of Privacy Mode is that there is nothing stored to breach in the first place. 3. WooCommerce Stores The pain we kept hearing from store owners: shoppers want a personal shopper who knows the catalog, not a chatbot that loops them or just answers basic FAQs. Existing chat tools cannot search products and the AI add-ons get expensive fast. Mika is the only widget that searches your WooCommerce catalog live during a conversation and renders product photo cards inline. What Mika does for WooCommerce stores: Live product search inside chat. Visitors describe what they want and Mika searches your catalog and shows photo cards with prices and variants. Color, size, and price filtering. Customers ask “do you have this in large under $50?” and Mika checks inventory and answers with real options. Catalog auto-sync. New SKUs show up automatically throughout the day. No manual re-sync. Two CTAs on every product card. “View on site” sends them to the product page; “More info” continues the conversation. Out-of-stock awareness. Mika never recommends what you cannot ship. Retail Starter $30/month with a 14-day free trial. Up to 500 SKUs.

Here is what Mika will not do: No live agent handoff. When Mika cannot answer, she gracefully tells the visitor a team member will reach out, then emails you their question. There is no human waiting in a queue and no “transferring you to an agent” dead end. No outbound phone calls. Mika does not dial out or return calls. If a visitor wants to speak with someone, Mika captures the request and emails you. No medical advice. With Privacy Mode enabled, Mika refuses to discuss symptoms, medications, or diagnoses. No fake confirmations. When something fails on the back end, Mika tells the visitor honestly instead of pretending an appointment is booked. Free Plan (no credit card required) Mika has a true free forever plan, not a 14-day trial that disappears.

Mika uses the information from your website to answer questions, capture contact details, and handle appointment requests.
