Your WordPress Site Deserves a Sales Assistant That Never Sleeps
Mika is now available as an official WordPress plugin. Install it from the WordPress plugin directory, paste your API key, and your site has a 24/7 sales assistant that answers visitor questions, captures leads, and books appointments. No code. No developer. No ongoing work.
Most WordPress sites lose visitors the moment they have a question and nobody is there to answer. Contact forms sit untouched. Phone calls go to voicemail. Visitors leave, and you never know they were there. Mika changes that.
What Mika Does for Your WordPress Site
Mika is not a chatbot that needs scripts, decision trees, or training. It reads your website and learns your business automatically.
Answers visitor questions using your actual business information
When you sign up, Mika scans your website and learns your services, hours, location, pricing, policies, and everything else a visitor might ask about. When someone visits your WordPress site and has a question, Mika answers using the information it found on your site. Not generic responses. Not canned scripts. Real answers based on what your business actually offers, delivered in a natural conversation.
Captures leads and sends them to you instantly
When a visitor is ready to connect, Mika collects their name, email, phone number, and a summary of what they need. You get an email notification immediately with all the details. No more missed opportunities from visitors who had a question at 11pm on a Tuesday and left because nobody was there. Every lead includes context about what the visitor asked, so you can follow up with a personalized response instead of a cold call.
Books appointments directly in the conversation
On paid plans, Mika can book appointments with your visitors during the chat. The visitor picks a date and time, provides their contact info, and you receive a confirmation email with a calendar attachment. No third-party booking tools. No external links. The entire experience happens inside the chat widget on your WordPress site. Available on Core ($9.99/mo) and above.
Works 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays
Your WordPress site does not close at 5pm, and neither does Mika. More than half of website traffic happens outside business hours. Mika handles those visitors the same way it handles daytime traffic: answering questions, guiding them toward the right service, and capturing their information so you can follow up. You wake up to warm leads instead of bounced visitors.
Speaks 8 languages with automatic detection
If a visitor writes in Spanish, Mika responds in Spanish. Same for French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Chinese, and Korean. Language detection is automatic. No configuration, no translation plugins, no multilingual setup. This is especially valuable for WordPress sites in diverse communities or businesses that serve international customers.

Why WordPress Site Owners Choose Mika
WordPress powers over 40% of websites on the internet. Mika was built to work seamlessly with the WordPress ecosystem, from starter themes to complex WooCommerce stores.
One-click install from WordPress.org
Listed in the official WordPress plugin directory. Search, install, activate. No code to paste, no theme files to edit, no FTP access needed. If you can install a WordPress plugin, you can install Mika.
Works with every theme and page builder
Mika loads as a floating overlay that sits on top of your site. It never injects into your page content or modifies your layout. Elementor, Divi, Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Beaver Builder, and every other theme work out of the box.
WooCommerce compatible
The chat widget appears on every WooCommerce page, including product listings, individual product pages, cart, and checkout. Mika can answer product questions and guide shoppers while they browse.
Granular page control
Show the widget everywhere, or hide it on specific pages. Enter page IDs in the settings to exclude pages globally, or use the per-page checkbox in the WordPress editor sidebar. You decide exactly where Mika appears.
8 languages with automatic detection
English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Chinese, and Korean. Mika detects the visitor's language from their first message and responds naturally. No translation plugins or configuration needed.
Zero impact on page speed
The plugin adds one async script tag to your site footer. The initial payload is under 5KB. Nothing loads until a visitor opens the chat. Your Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse scores, and page load times stay exactly where they are.
How Mika Compares to Other WordPress Chat Plugins
Most WordPress chat plugins are live chat tools that require you to be online. Mika is different.
Live chat plugins (Tawk.to, Crisp, LiveChat)
Live chat only works when you are sitting at your computer. The moment you step away, visitors see "We are offline" and leave. You need to staff the chat yourself or hire someone. With Mika, there is no "offline." Your assistant is always there, always answering, always capturing leads. You do not need to monitor anything.
Chatbot builders (Tidio, ChatBot.com, HubSpot)
Traditional chatbot builders require you to write conversation flows, create decision trees, and anticipate every question a visitor might ask. That takes hours of setup and constant maintenance. Mika reads your website and learns automatically. No flows to build, no scripts to write, no ongoing management. When you update your website, Mika learns the changes.
Contact forms and email widgets
Contact forms ask visitors to write a message and wait for a response. Most people do not fill them out, especially on mobile. Mika turns that friction into a conversation. Instead of "fill out this form and we will get back to you," visitors get instant answers and a natural path to sharing their contact information. Conversion rates from chat are significantly higher than contact forms.
See Mika in Action on Any Website
Enter any website URL and watch Mika scan it, learn the business, and start answering questions in seconds. This is exactly what your WordPress visitors will experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I get an API key?
Sign up for free at hiremika.com, then find your API key on the dashboard Overview page. It starts with pk_. Copy it and paste it into Settings > Mika AI Chat in your WordPress admin.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Mika works on all WooCommerce pages including product pages, cart, and checkout. It can answer questions about your products, help visitors find what they need, and capture leads while they shop. No extra configuration required.
Does it work with page builders like Elementor and Divi?
Yes. Mika loads as a lightweight floating overlay on top of your site. It does not inject into your page content or modify your layout. That means it works with Elementor, Divi, Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Beaver Builder, and any other theme or page builder without conflicts.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The plugin adds a single async script tag to your footer. The initial script is under 5KB. It never blocks page rendering, and all heavier resources only load when a visitor actually opens the chat. Your Core Web Vitals and page speed scores will not be affected.
I have a Content Security Policy that blocks external scripts. What do I do?
Add api.hiremika.com to your CSP script-src and frame-src directives. If you use a WordPress security plugin like Wordfence, Sucuri, or iThemes Security, add api.hiremika.com to the allowed domains list.
Can I hide the widget on certain pages?
Yes, two ways. In Settings > Mika AI Chat, enter a comma-separated list of page or post IDs to exclude globally. Or when editing any individual page or post, check the "Disable Mika Chat" box in the sidebar to hide the widget on that specific page.
Is Mika free?
Yes. The free plan includes about 30 conversations per month with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $9.99/mo for businesses that need more conversations or features like appointment booking, custom branding, and auto follow-up emails.
What data is sent to hiremika.com?
Only visitor chat messages typed into the widget are sent to the Mika API for processing. No WordPress admin data, user credentials, database content, plugin settings, or site configuration is ever transmitted. See our privacy policy for full details.
How do I update the plugin?
Updates are delivered through the WordPress plugin directory like any other plugin. When a new version is available, you will see an update notification in your WordPress dashboard. Click Update and you are done.
What happens if I deactivate or uninstall the plugin?
Deactivating the plugin removes the chat widget from your site but keeps your settings. Uninstalling the plugin removes all stored data (API key, settings, preferences) completely. Your Mika account and conversation history on hiremika.com are not affected.
