Mika AI Chat brings a sales assistant to a WordPress site that stays available around the clock, answering visitor questions, collecting contact details, and handling appointment requests without any coding or flow building.
It suits small businesses such as local service providers, professional practices, and online stores that want to turn website visitors into leads rather than losing them to an empty contact form.
The widget connects to the Mika service, which reads the site’s own content to learn about its services, hours, and location, and keeps learning from any extra details the owner adds.
Conversations happen through a floating chat button that the plugin inserts on the site, and visitor messages are sent to Mika’s servers for processing; no WordPress admin data or site configuration is transmitted. Site owners sign up for a Mika account, then paste an API key from their Mika dashboard into the plugin’s settings page to activate the widget.
Mika supports 13 languages with an Auto-Detect mode, so it replies in whichever language a visitor uses, and it adapts its conversation style based on what a visitor types, the page they are on, and how the exchange develops.

Key Features of Mika AI Chat
Conversations and Lead Capture
24/7 automated conversations. The chat widget answers visitor questions at any hour using information drawn from the site, so questions get a response even when no one is available to reply manually.
Automatic lead capture. Mika collects a visitor’s name, email, phone number, and a summary of what they need, then sends an instant email notification to the site owner.
Appointment request handling. Visitors can share a preferred date and time for an appointment, and the owner reviews and confirms it in their own calendar, keeping scheduling control in the owner’s hands.
Multilingual Auto-Detect. Mika detects the language a visitor types in and responds in that language, covering 13 languages including English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, and Arabic.
Honest fallback responses. When Mika cannot answer a question, it tells the visitor a team member will follow up and emails the owner the question, rather than looping the visitor or faking a confirmation.
Setup and Site Integration
Simple settings page. The plugin adds a settings page under Settings, where an API key is entered and tested with a Test Connection button before the widget goes live.
Widget display controls. Owners can toggle the widget on or off, choose its position on the page, and exclude it from specific pages or posts through a per-page setting in the editor sidebar.
Theme and page builder compatibility. The widget appears as a floating overlay that works across WordPress themes and major page builders such as Elementor, Divi, Astra, Kadence, and GeneratePress.
Lightweight loading. The chat script loads asynchronously and stays under 10KB initially, so it does not block page rendering or noticeably affect load speed.
Free usage allowance. Every Mika account starts with a free plan offering roughly 30 conversations a month, along with lead capture and multilingual support, without requiring a credit card.

Step 4: Connect your API key. Find your API key on the Overview page of your Mika dashboard, paste it into the plugin settings, and click Test Connection to confirm it works.

Good to Know About Mika AI Chat
According to the plugin’s FAQ, only visitor messages typed into the chat are sent to Mika’s servers for processing; no WordPress admin data, user credentials, or site configuration is transmitted. The developer notes that Mika does not book appointments directly into a calendar by design, instead forwarding requests by email so the owner stays in control and avoids double bookings.
Sites with a strict Content Security Policy need to allow the domain the widget loads from in their script and frame directives, and users of security plugins such as Wordfence should add that domain to their allowed list. The documentation also clarifies that Mika does not claim regulatory compliance for healthcare use; its privacy-focused mode simply avoids storing visitor messages.
