AI live chat does what traditional Joomla chat extensions never could — qualify visitors automatically. Your AI asks about budget, timeline, and needs, scores every conversation, and delivers complete lead profiles to your inbox or CRM. Works across articles, categories, VirtueMart product pages, and custom component views.

AI asks qualifying questions: budget, timeline, organization type, use case
Every lead scored by engagement level and buying intent
Leads delivered instantly via email, webhook, or directly to your CRM
Complete AI conversation transcript included with every lead
Source tracking shows which Joomla page or article they came from

When a Joomla visitor is ready to close or needs human expertise, your AI escalates to your team on WhatsApp, Messenger, or any channel they already use. The handover includes full conversation history, lead score, and contact details — your team picks up right where AI left off.

Escalation triggers: high lead score, human request, pricing negotiation
Full conversation history and AI-generated summary included
Routes to WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, email, or Slack
Smart routing: round-robin, random, or manual claim
Unlimited team seats at no extra cost

50+ Channels, One AI Engine

Joomla visitors choose how they want to reach you — your AI qualifies them on every channel

WhatsApp Business

AI auto-replies on WhatsApp, not just your Joomla site. Conversations continue even after visitors leave. All WhatsApp conversations land in your shared inbox.

Facebook Messenger & Instagram DM

Meet social-first customers where they already spend time. AI qualifies visitors and captures leads across Meta's messaging platforms.

Telegram, Signal, Viber

Privacy-conscious users get the same AI-powered experience. Every channel feeds into one inbox with full conversation context.

Contact Forms, Callback, Email & 40+ More

Structured inquiries, click-to-call, SMS, Slack, Discord, WeChat — every channel your members and customers use, connected to one AI-powered pipeline.

Live Chat Is Just One Entry Point to Your AI Sales Agent

Live chat captures visitors on your Joomla site. But your AI Sales Agent works across WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, and 50+ channels from a single script. Every conversation — regardless of channel — feeds into one pipeline with AI qualification, lead scoring, and team routing built in.

One AI engine. Multiple entry points. Every lead tracked and qualified.

Why Your Joomla Site Needs AI Live Chat

Joomla powers associations, government portals, and enterprise sites — yet most Joomla chat extensions are stuck in the past:

Outdated extensions with no AI — Most Joomla live chat modules haven't been updated for Joomla 4 or 5, let alone added AI capabilities.
Requires staff online 24/7 — Show 'offline' messages that kill conversions when nobody's available. Association members and citizens leave without answers.
Per-agent pricing drains budgets — Enterprise tools like Intercom cost €74+ per agent per month, eating into non-profit or government budgets.
Conversations die when the tab closes — No follow-up, no contact details, no context saved for membership inquiries or support requests.

Boei fixes this: paste a script tag into your Joomla template or add a Custom HTML module, train AI on your pages, and let it qualify leads across your entire site. AI routes warm prospects to your team on WhatsApp — not to a dashboard nobody checks. See the Joomla installation guide.

How AI Live Chat Drives Revenue on Joomla

Lead Generation

3-5x higher conversion than static forms. AI engages Joomla visitors, asks qualifying questions, captures contact details, and routes warm leads to your sales team with full context. Ideal for service companies and agencies running Joomla.

Sales Assistance

AI recommends products on VirtueMart pages, handles objections, and escalates high-intent visitors to your team with the full conversation history. Your team closes instead of answering repeat questions.

Customer Support

AI resolves 60-80% of questions instantly using your Joomla content — articles, knowledge bases, and documentation. Support tickets drop by half. Your team focuses on cases that need human judgment.

Membership Inquiries

Associations and membership organizations use Joomla extensively. AI answers questions about joining, renewals, events, and benefits 24/7 — and captures new member leads automatically.

How It Works

From signup to AI-qualified leads in three steps

Enter Your Website URL

Boei's crawler reads your Joomla site automatically. Your AI learns your articles, products, pricing, and policies — no manual data entry. Add PDFs or custom content for deeper training.

Configure Your AI & Channels

Set your brand colors, welcome message, and qualification criteria. Add WhatsApp, Messenger, or other channels as escalation paths. Define when AI should hand off to your team.

Go Live on Joomla in 5 Minutes

Paste the Boei script tag into your Joomla template's index.php before the closing tag, or add it via a Custom HTML module. Works with Joomla 3, 4 & 5 — no extension installation required. Your AI starts qualifying visitors immediately.

What do you like best about Boei? I'm giving 10 points. Why? This app is super easy. You can configure your chat widget in 5 minutes, add a JS script to your "header" in your theme and wooollaaa done. Nothing hard. We have been using Boei mainly for small corporate websites. It really solves our need to have a small chat widget which does not add up 150Kb and XXXXX JS scripts. It's really lightweight and it does not affect your website speed.

I have been using Boei for over a year. It is very simple yet effective to implement it. Support is great - Ruben is always responsive and helpful. The product has also added new features which I have not yet needed but good to know Ruben is always working hard to add value to users of Boei. I am sure there are other similar solutions but for the price, support and features (and future updates), this is a great value.

Ruben has been consistent with Boei and made a lot of improvements! All the best brother!

I have been using BOEI for over a year and absolutely amazed with the growth and new features. I recommend BOEI to anyone who is looking to increase website engagement with multiple communication channels.

It's a great tool especially for managing multiple websites and agencies.

Grzegorz G.

I have a quick chat on each page, so it simplifies the way my clients can get in touch with me. It was very easy to implement and they continue to improve this software and are open to feedback. An easy way to add a communication widget to the website. I like best that it supports Messenger and Whatsaap, phone, email and live chat and it is easy to translate for multilingual pages. I can't think about real drowbacks. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] reply all the support questions quickly and effectively, they are open to feedback. I had no issues at all with this software. Maybe if they could add some protection against spammers if you use the contact form and in some future add a chatbot, that would be fantastic.

Joshua G.

I was looking for a chat app to easily communicate with my customers. I didn't want to install anything overly complex and I just wanted something that worked within minutes. After briefly using Boei, I knew it was right for me. It's super lightweight and easy to use, plus it has all the chat bots that you might need! Highly recommend to anyone looking for something simple. I wish there was a better UI or more design options.

Ronald D.

Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

What do you like best about Boei? Simple, easy to use and implement with little technical support What do you dislike about Boei? Logo deisgns can be improved and some customization of logos of different widgets What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? On multiple sites, users require different feedback channels. This allows simple customization

Fahd T.

Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

What do you like best about Boei? The best part is the simplicity of the product and ease of use. What do you dislike about Boei? The weak part is the lack of depth for advanced users. What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? Helps capture visitors using different communication channels under one platform.

David S.

CEO/Founder Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

What do you like best about Boei? It's extremely easy to gather different communication channels under one UI, simplifying the contact process for users, which is essential because it allows us to meet our clients via their preferred method (and not the one we impose on them) What do you dislike about Boei? I wish they had more design options to make it less standard amongst different websites. Another thing that could be better is the speed at which new integrations are added; it could be faster. What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? Some users prefer contact forms, other live chats, other Instagram/facebook DmS, ETC. Boei allows us to display all these channels in a simplified and unified manner.

Vance W.

We have been using Boei for many clients over the past year and the impact on the page speed is negligible and helps convert website visitors to warm leads. Ease of deployment, lightweight code, and overall flexibility and functionality. The form component isn't exactly flexible and extensive enough for most uses so we often have to use another form solution.

Julien V.

Développeur d'e-commerce Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

What do you like best about Boei? Lightweight, opens instantly, lot of features (whatsapp, messenger, contact form, links) What do you dislike about Boei? Not including a built-in chat app, more design customizations could be good What problems is Boei solving and how is that benefiting you? Allowing website visitors to contact us through their preferred channel (whatsapp, phone call, etc)

Grant

I'm a tech noob, but Boei was super easy to install on my site. I've added several options for contacting me through different channels, links to questionnaires / contact forms, and links to my socials... It's so much more than just a chat button, which is awesome!

Hansie

Works great, nice variation of apps

Chandra Kusuma

The greatest chat widget for websites I have ever tried. It's quite light and not reduce the site loading speed. Quite easy to install on any type of sites/CMS platform. The features and integrations is continuously developed. The support Ruben and his team provide is the best. Easily number one pick.

Pepe

This is a great way to chat with visitors on their favorite channels. I really like this because it's simple to implement. It's also easy to find new integrations because there are many channels to choose from (Line, WhatsApp, Email, Contact form, etc.). Ruben, the founder, is also a great guy, always listening to users requests and feedbacks.

Arjun E.

Boei is very easy to customize and install on my platforms. Sub-accounts have not yet arrived, and it's very important for my clients' use.

José Manuel D.

Very easy to install and use. A lot of options of contact. User doesn´t have an option to close or make it dissappear from a site (if they dont want or need to contact(

Cristian Trappolini

I want to leave this review because I want to tell you 2 important things: one is that those who don't speak English well often find themselves having to live with Google Translate as their best friend, and the other is that BOEI is fantastic, simple and intuitive even for those who don't speak English well. I am really enthusiastic about the ease of use from the first time, which I rarely find in a similar app. Personally I recommend it to everyone!

Daniel Gyger

A must for simplicity and efficiency. To test it is to approve it, in any case we can only recommend it.

Nitesh Manav

It's a light-weight, easy to set-up and use. It increases conversions by talking to visitors on their favorite channels. Above this, it's also cookie-free and GDPR proof which makes it more light-weight and secure.

Renaat Sioncke

Boei.helps is an easy-to-use app to connect a support/help icon to your website. I just set up four websites with different social media links, all in no time. Boei helps to customize and speed up my website building work-flow.

Fran Tully

Very happy to give 5 Stars for this plugin. Over 70% of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Google Analytics. Boei allows those users to contact me on their preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. It's a pop up with a GIF that looks great on my site. And it gives the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now, and I am very happy to recommend. I would try the free version first so you are sure. Thanks Fran

Proinsias M.

It was very easy to configure and setup on my website. The only issue I had to deal with was to decide what channels not to include in the pop up on the website. I need to be clear what are the essential channels to include for each site that I design. Very happy to give Top Marks to this Plugin. Most of my business enquiries are coming from Smartphone users based on my Analytics. Boei allows those users in particular contact me on the preferred social Channel with one click. I also can follow up on that channel later or over time with the conversion thread preserved. Its a pop up and also give the prospective client the opportunity to fill out a standard contact form as well. I am implementing it on all my sites now and I am very happy to recommend. I need to make sure I am not including channel options that are not relevant, so I need to be sure of my target audience to avoid clutter when the pop up is activated.

Gavin S.

It makes it easier for website visitors to engage with me on the channel of their choice. Installing Boei was simple, took less than 5 minutes, and I was up and running. What I liked is that you can install it on Wordpress, HTML, and even on other page builders. You can use it with WhatsApp, Telegram, Live chat, Facebook messenger, or any combination of them at once so that visitors can pick the channel they're most comfortable with. None at the moment, everything is working as it should be.

Sara Hall

How is this possible? I have been searching for a service like boei, without success for over a year. What magic is this? Isn't set up supposed to be supremely complicated, involving a coding degree, extensive technical knowledge and possibly a miracle? Boei just works. It works so well I was suspicious of it for nearly a whole week, sending endless texts and emails to myself in utter disbelief, when it failed to keel over! Set up is straight forward, easy and takes minutes. Seriously, I cannot recommend Boei enough.

Mike Foston

Just about as easy as it gets. It uses all the ways you already have to connect to you, lets your customers choose how they want to connect, and doesn't give you another place to check for messages. Has plenty of configuration options, and support has been very responsive, and willing to listen to ideas to make improvements. Really pleased with how it looks on my sites as well. Bit of a bargain!

Lukáš H.

Ease of use and the number of possible integrations. Honestly I can't say there is anything I didn't like when using Boei.

Bikram K. S.

Boei has been a time saver for me. I was looking for a way to integrate various social media chat options into my website so that my customers can contact me using the platform of their choice. I tried 3-4 other platforms but nothing came closer to the experience I finally got from Boei. Its WhatsApp and Google Map integration bought me over. I just wish it has support for Frase assistant and Gist assistant. Ease of use, and painless integration of various chat platforms. lacking integration with Frase and Gist and some of the labels are confusing.

Joomla AI Live Chat FAQ

Does Boei include an AI chatbot for Joomla?

Yes — AI is included in every Boei plan, not a paid add-on. Your AI chatbot handles first responses, answers questions from your Joomla content, qualifies leads automatically, and escalates warm prospects to your team on WhatsApp or Messenger. 2,000 AI messages included per month.

Do I need to be online 24/7?

No — your AI handles it. It answers visitor questions instantly, qualifies leads, and captures contact details around the clock. When your team is available, AI escalates warm leads directly to them. When you're offline, AI continues working and queues qualified leads for follow-up.

How do I install Boei on Joomla?

Two options: paste the Boei script tag into your Joomla template's index.php file before the closing </body> tag, or add it via a Custom HTML module in any position. Both methods work in under 5 minutes with zero coding. See our Joomla installation guide.

Is it compatible with Joomla 3, 4, and 5?

Yes — Boei works with all current Joomla versions including Joomla 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x. Since it loads via a script tag rather than a native extension, there are no version-specific compatibility issues. It works with any Joomla template.

Will this slow down my Joomla site?

No. Boei loads asynchronously after your page content, has no jQuery dependency, and uses CDN delivery. Zero impact on page load times or Core Web Vitals. Compatible with all Joomla caching and performance extensions.

Does it work with VirtueMart?

Yes. AI answers product questions, handles shipping and returns inquiries, recommends products, and engages shoppers on product and cart pages. Works with all VirtueMart templates and configurations.

How does AI-to-human handover work?

You define the rules: escalate when a lead is qualified, when AI can't answer, when the visitor asks for a human, or when pricing negotiations start. Your team gets the full conversation history and lead score on WhatsApp, Messenger, or email.

Can I use multiple team members?

Yes — unlimited team seats at no extra cost. Configure smart routing for escalated conversations: round-robin, random assignment, or manual claim. AI handles qualification, your team handles closing.

Is Boei GDPR compliant for government and public sector Joomla sites?

Yes. Boei is built by a Dutch company with all servers in Amsterdam (EU). The widget runs cookieless by default — no consent banner needed for the widget itself. We provide a DPA for government agencies and enterprise organizations. Fully compliant with GDPR, AVG, and public sector data requirements.

What channels does it support besides live chat?

50+ channels including WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Instagram DM, contact forms, email, phone, SMS, and more. Your AI works across all channels from one Joomla widget.

What's included for €14/month?

AI chatbot (2,000 messages), unlimited conversations, unlimited team seats, all 50+ channels, lead scoring, analytics, CRM inbox, and use on unlimited Joomla installations. One flat price — no per-agent fees like Tidio or LiveChat.

Can I try it free?

Yes — 7-day trial with full AI access. Add the script to your Joomla site, train AI on your pages, and watch it qualify visitors in real-time. No credit card required.
