Description

Stop searching for separate plugins. Create any widget you need in seconds with AI.

TalkGenAI is not just another AI chat; it is a functional widget factory. Whether you need a complex Cost Calculator, a scarcity Countdown Timer, or an interactive Checklist, simply tell the AI what you want, and it builds the tool for you instantly.

๐Ÿ‘‹ WHY USE TALKGENAI?

Most WordPress sites need interactive tools to engage visitors. Usually, you have to download one plugin for a calculator, another for a timer, and a third for a to-do list. This slows down your site.

TalkGenAI replaces 10+ plugins. It uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (GPT-4o & Claude 3.5 Sonnet) to write the code for you, ensuring lightweight, fast, and custom tools for your site.
