## 描述

**👁️[Plugin Demo](https://demo.wpwax.com/helpgent/) | 🚀[Pro Version](https://wpwax.com/helpgent/)
| 👩🏼‍💻[Support](https://wpwax.com/contact/) | 📄[Docs](https://wpwax.com/docs/helpgent/)**

Most contact forms collect a name, an email, and a message – and stop there. You
get fragments of context. Your visitor disappears. The conversation never really
starts.
 Live chat tries to solve this, but it creates a different problem: someone
has to be online. Small teams and solo operators cannot stay available all day. 
Missed chats become missed leads. HelpGent gives WordPress site owners a better 
way to communicate with their audience. Visitors can explain what they need through
video, voice, text, or screen recording – on their own time. Your team reviews and
replies when ready, with the same rich formats. No one needs to be online at the
same time, and every conversation stays inside your WordPress installation. This
is what we call a Video Funnel: a guided, multi-step experience that collects rich
responses and creates the conditions for a real conversation – before you ever type
a single reply. HelpGent is not a SaaS tool with a monthly seat count or a video-
minute cap. It installs on your WordPress site, stores everything in your own hosting
environment, and scales with your team at a predictable price.

### What HelpGent Is Built For

 * **Lead capture for service businesses** – qualify prospects with real context
   before a discovery call
 * **WooCommerce product questions** – let shoppers ask with video or voice, reply
   when you are ready
 * **Support intake** – collect screen recordings and step-by-step explanations 
   instead of vague tickets
 * **Client onboarding** – guide new clients through a structured async intake instead
   of long email threads
 * **Discovery call replacement** – screen high-ticket prospects with a Video Funnel
   before committing to a call
 * **Testimonial collection** – guide happy customers through simple prompts, collect
   video or voice testimonials
 * **Hiring and candidate screening** – review short intro videos before scheduling
   interviews
 * **Product feedback and research** – let users show you the problem instead of
   describing it

### Core Features

### Video Funnels

Build guided, multi-step experiences that walk visitors through your questions one
at a time. Each step can collect a different format: video, voice, text, file upload,
or screen recording. Visitors move through the flow at their own pace. You get richer,
more useful responses than any standard contact form.

### Async Video and Voice Messaging

Visitors record a video or voice message directly in their browser. No app, no registration
required by default. You reply with your own video or voice when ready. The conversation
continues asynchronously, with full message history visible on both sides.

### Screen Recording

Visitors can record their screen and send it as part of a conversation. This is 
especially useful for support, bug reporting, product feedback, and anything where
showing is faster than describing.

### AI Chatbot with Live Chat Takeover

HelpGent includes an AI chatbot that handles incoming conversations automatically.
When a conversation needs a human, your team can step in and take over. This keeps
response times low without requiring someone to be on standby.

### Shareable Public Form Links

Publish forms with clean, shareable URLs. Use them in email campaigns, landing pages,
social posts, or direct outreach. No need to embed on a page if you just need a 
link.

### Conversation Management Dashboard

All conversations, replies, and message history live inside your WordPress admin.
You can track unread messages, follow up on open threads, manage contacts, and respond
to conversations without leaving WordPress.

### Quiz and Assessment Support

Build quiz-based funnels with scoring, timers, and manual review. Useful for coaching
applications, course screenings, and structured lead qualification.

### Ratings and Feedback Collection

Collect star ratings, NPS scores, and structured review responses as part of your
funnel steps.

### Unified Contact Records

Every person who interacts with a HelpGent funnel gets a unified contact record.
Guest submissions, returning users, and registered accounts are all handled in one
consistent contact layer.

### Your Data Stays in Your Hosting

HelpGent stores all conversations, recordings, and contact data in your own WordPress
database and hosting environment. You are not sending your customer conversations
to a third-party SaaS server. You control the data. You can delete it, export it,
and manage it on your terms.

### Why WordPress Users Choose HelpGent

**Your data lives on your hosting, not someone else’s server.** SaaS video and chat
tools store your conversations on their infrastructure. When you cancel, that data
stays with them. HelpGent keeps everything inside your WordPress installation. You
own it completely.
 **No per-seat pricing. No video-minute limits.** Most SaaS tools
charge per team member or per video recorded. HelpGent is priced per site, so your
team can grow and your conversations can scale without a bill that grows with every
reply. **Async communication is better for most use cases.** Live chat is only useful
when both sides are available at the same time. For lead qualification, support 
intake, onboarding, and research, async is faster and more thoughtful for both parties.
HelpGent is built around this workflow. **Integrated into WordPress, not bolted 
on.** HelpGent is built specifically for WordPress. Your conversations live in the
same environment as your site, your users, and your other plugins. No separate dashboard
to log into. No third-party app to manage.

## 常见问题

### Where are recordings and attachments stored?

Everything is stored in your WordPress hosting environment – your database and your
wp-content/uploads/ directory. Nothing is sent to external servers unless you connect
a cloud storage integration like Google Drive or Bunny CDN.

### Can visitors submit without registering?

Yes. Guest submissions are supported by default. Visitors do not need a WordPress
account or a HelpGent account to submit a message or complete a funnel.

### How do returning visitors continue a conversation?

HelpGent uses an email-based access link. When a returning visitor wants to check
replies or continue a thread, they request a login link by email. No password required.

### Can I embed a funnel on any page?

Yes. You can embed any HelpGent funnel using a shortcode, display it as a floating
chat bubble, or share it via a public URL.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. You can place a funnel or conversation widget on product pages so customers
can ask questions before purchasing.

### Does it work with Directorist?

Yes. HelpGent has a dedicated Directorist integration, allowing directory visitors
to message listing owners directly through a HelpGent conversation.

### Is HelpGent compatible with my theme?

HelpGent works with any standard WordPress theme. The conversation interface and
form bubble are self-contained and do not depend on theme styles.

### Is conversation data encrypted?

Conversations are stored in your WordPress database. Security is managed at your
hosting level. We recommend using a reputable host with SSL, database encryption,
and regular backups.

 [irena012](https://profiles.wordpress.org/irena012/) 2023 年 12 月 11 日

I have been using it for a while and must say it is the easiest conversational form/
multi step form plugin. You wont get lost looking for essential features. It lacks
some important features but the roadmap looks promising and the most stand out feature
for me is the “user portal” area which is available for even the guest users!! Overall
definitely a 5/5 and a superb typeform alternative. Looking forward to the project.

Seems like a great tool for asynchronous video messaging and screen recording. One
of the features that stood out to me was the ability to create interactive forms,
which could be really helpful for collecting feedback or providing support.

### 󠀁[A Potential Yet Game-Changing Communication Tool in WordPress!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-potential-yet-game-changing-communication-tool-in-wordpress/)󠁿

 [Preach Quest](https://profiles.wordpress.org/preachquest/) 2023 年 5 月 5 日

I’ve picked the plugin lately and I must say I’m thoroughly impressed with its features
and capabilities. The ability to communicate via video, voice, and text messaging,
along with the added functionality of screen recording, is a game-changer for customer
support and online communication. One of the standout features of HelpGent is the
ability to record and share screen recordings with clients or team members, which
has been incredibly helpful for demonstrating complex issues or providing visual
aids for training purposes. The video and voice messaging options have also helped
me to add a personal touch to customer support and overall communication. Thanks
to Sazzadul Bari and his team wpWax for supporting me along the way!
