About Chatics
From the official readme · v1.0.3Description
Chatics is a free WordPress plugin that adds a customizable AI chatbot widget to your website and connects it to your n8n workflows through a public webhook. With Chatics you can launch an AI-powered chat assistant, customer support bot, or lead-capture widget in minutes without writing a single line of code.
The chat widget floats on every page and talks directly to the conversational logic you build in n8n, so you stay in full control of your AI agent, data, and integrations.

It is free, translation-ready, and built to stay out of your way.
