What is an AI chat widget for Divi?

An AI chat widget for Divi is not a chatbot. The difference matters. A chatbot replies from a fixed script and fails the moment a visitor asks something the script does not cover. The widget reads your Divi site, understands the question, and answers in natural language with your tone of voice. SmartWidget installs on Divi via Divi Theme Options > Integration > Body code in five minutes flat. £19/mo. UK built.

Install steps for Divi

The full install end-to-end. Five steps, about five minutes from signup to the first answered visitor.

  1. Sign up at smartwidget.co.uk. Enter your Divi site URL. The AI reads your site and builds your knowledge base in about sixty seconds.
  2. Review the generated knowledge base. Check the question-and-answer pairs the AI has built. Edit or override anything that needs refining.
  3. Copy your install snippet. The SmartWidget dashboard shows a single script tag with your unique widget key.
  4. Paste the snippet into your Divi site. Navigate to Divi Theme Options > Integration > Body code. Paste the snippet there and save. The widget is live the moment the page saves.

The dashboard you'll use on Divi

The dashboard reviews and refines what the AI learned from your Divi site. Every Q&A pair the AI generated is shown with a confidence score. High-confidence answers are auto-approved; lower-confidence ones are flagged for review. You can override any answer, add your own Q&A pairs, and define edge-case rules. The dashboard is structured so a non-technical Divi site owner can confidently approve the AI's understanding of their business in ten to fifteen minutes.

Why an AI chat widget matters on Divi sites

Owners of Divi sites typically spend significant effort getting visitors to the site — SEO, ads, content, social. Then those visitors arrive and have no way to engage in real time. The widget is the missing piece. It engages every visitor instantly, qualifies the enquiry, captures the contact details, and alerts you on SMS the moment a high-intent lead lands. Five-minute install on Divi. From £19/mo.

Manage every Divi conversation in one inbox

Every conversation the SmartWidget AI has on your Divi site lands in this unified inbox. Live conversations are shown in real time. Completed conversations are kept indexed and searchable. You can jump into any live conversation with a single click — the AI steps back, you type as a human, the visitor sees the same chat thread continue. The handover is seamless from the visitor's side. The inbox is the operational heart of running the widget on a Divi site.

Frequently asked questions

Can I customise the widget colours and position on Divi?

Yes. The widget appearance is fully customisable from the SmartWidget dashboard — primary colour, accent colour, chat bubble position (bottom-left, bottom-right), avatar, welcome message, and trigger behaviour. The customisation is centralised, so changing it once updates the widget on your Divi site immediately.

How do I uninstall the widget from Divi if I need to?

Remove the single line of JavaScript from Divi Theme Options > Integration > Body code and save. The widget disappears immediately. There is nothing else to uninstall from Divi — no database tables, no orphaned files, no leftover configuration.

Can I run SmartWidget on multiple Divi sites with one account?

Yes. Multi-site is built in from the Growth tier. One SmartWidget subscription can run widgets across multiple Divi sites, each with its own AI personality, knowledge base and unified inbox. Particularly useful for agencies running client Divi sites or operators with multiple brand sites.

Does the widget work on Divi mobile sites?

Yes. The widget is responsive by default and works on every Divi mobile breakpoint. The chat bubble sits in the bottom corner on every screen size and the chat interface adapts to mobile-optimised layout when a visitor opens it on a phone.

Can the widget book appointments directly from a Divi site?

Yes. The widget integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook (Microsoft Graph), and the built-in SmartWidget scheduler. Visitors browsing your Divi site can be offered specific appointment slots and book directly inside the chat. The event writes back to your calendar with the conversation transcript attached.

What happens if my Divi site doesn't allow custom JavaScript at all?

A small number of Divi entry-level tiers restrict custom code. In that case, upgrading to a tier that allows custom JavaScript is the only path. If Divi does not allow custom code on any tier, SmartWidget cannot be installed — but this is rare. Almost every modern Divi Business or Pro plan supports it.

Is there a contract or commitment for SmartWidget on Divi?

No. SmartWidget operates on monthly billing with no contract and no minimum commitment. Cancel any time directly from the dashboard with no notice period and no exit fee. The lowest tier is £19 per month, billed monthly, so the maximum risk on the decision is a single month's spend.

What support is available for the Divi install?

Live chat support inside the SmartWidget dashboard answers within minutes. The dashboard also contains a step-by-step Divi-specific install guide with screenshots and the exact menu paths. If the install does not work, support will remote into a screenshare and complete it with you.

How does SmartWidget handle GDPR cookie consent on Divi?

The widget includes a configurable consent notice that integrates with the major UK cookie banner solutions including OneTrust, Cookiebot, CookieYes, Iubenda, and the platform-native banners on Divi where available. Consent state is respected — the widget does not initialise until consent has been granted on visitors in scope of UK GDPR.

Can SmartWidget read content behind a login on Divi?

The AI knowledge base is built from publicly accessible pages on your Divi site. Content gated behind login is not included automatically. If your Divi site has paid-content or member-only sections, the AI's knowledge will reflect only the public pages — which is typically what you want for visitor chat anyway.

What languages does the SmartWidget AI support on Divi?

English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese are supported on the Growth tier and above. The widget detects the visitor's language from their first message and replies in the same language for the rest of the conversation. Particularly valuable for Divi sites serving overseas customers or operating in tourism-driven markets.

How does the widget handle visitors I want to filter out on Divi?

The dashboard exposes filtering rules. You can block visitors by IP range, exclude conversation triggers on specific URLs of your Divi site, restrict the widget to certain pages only, and configure honeypot-style anti-spam rules. The defaults are sensible for most Divi businesses; the controls are there if you need them.

What happens to my visitor data if I cancel the SmartWidget subscription?

Conversation transcripts and visitor contact data are retained for 30 days after cancellation, then deleted permanently. Within that 30-day window you can export the full transcript archive and the contact database as CSV from the dashboard. The widget snippet on your Divi site stops loading immediately on cancellation.

Will the SmartWidget snippet affect my Core Web Vitals on Divi?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after the page has rendered. The bundle is under 30KB. There is no impact on Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, or First Input Delay. Lighthouse audit before and after the install on a Divi site typically shows zero score change.

My Bubble app site needed chat without breaking the app routing. SmartWidget installed as a body script in the Bubble SEO settings and works across every page of the app without intercepting any of the existing routing logic.

My Shopify theme is custom and locked down. SmartWidget installs via theme.liquid before the body close — exactly where every other tracking pixel goes. Zero conflicts with my checkout.

I am the worst kind of non-technical user — I built my Squarespace site myself and was scared of the code injection field. The widget walkthrough showed me exactly which menu to open. I am live and capturing bookings.
