What is GhostChat?
GhostChat is a lightweight, privacy-first live chat widget for websites. Add it with one script tag or the official WordPress plugin, and reply to visitors from the dashboard, your phone, or Gmail.
Key Features
- Featherweight widget: 18.9KB including opening the chat, about 14x lighter than Crisp and 58x lighter than Intercom (measured August 2026). It loads async, adds no blocking time, and sets no cookies, so no consent banner is needed.
- One inbox for every site: Messages from all your sites land in one dashboard, and teammates can take over conversations.
- Android app: Reply on the go from the GhostChat app on Google Play.
- Reply from Gmail: A visitor messages your site, you hit Reply in your inbox, and your answer lands in their chat in real time.
- Bring your own AI: Connect any LLM (Ollama, Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) via webhooks and the Bot Agent API on paid plans.
- Optional AI add-on: An AI assistant answers visitors 24/7 from your site's content and hands off to a human when unsure.
- Privacy-first: Zero cookies, zero tracking, no browser fingerprinting.
Who is it for?
- Agencies and teams: Manage all your client sites under one login, with shared seats and one inbox.
- Privacy-conscious sites: Chat without cookies or visitor tracking.
- Solo site owners: one site, one inbox, reply from your phone or Gmail.
