GhostChat

I built “GhostChat” an embeddable AI widget you can drop on any site in under 2 minutes

Hey folks 👋

I’ve been working on something quietly for the past few weeks, and I just launched it publicly, it’s called GhostChat.

🧠 What it does

GhostChat lets you add an AI chat assistant to any website in seconds.

It’s lightweight, customizable, and works with OpenAI, Claude, and others.

Think of it like ChatGPT, but living inside your own website, answering visitors instantly, no backend setup or monthly SaaS needed.

Just add this before your closing </body> tag:

<script src="https://ghostchat.pages.dev/ghostchat_free.js"></script>

<script>

initGhostChat({

apiKey: "sk-your-openai-key",

theme: "minimal-light",

primaryColor: '#4F46E5',

welcomeMessage: 'Hi! How can I help you today?',

placeholder: 'Type your message...'

});

</script>

That’s it. You now have a working AI chat widget.

Why I built this

I noticed most AI chat tools are either expensive SaaS products or require setting up APIs and servers.

I wanted something you could just paste and run, while still keeping your own API keys and control.

So I built GhostChat to:

• Work with your own OpenAI / Claude / Gemini keys

• Support different tiers (Free, Personal, Agency)

• Allow context scraping (the bot learns from your site FAQ or docs)

• Work on static sites (no backend required)

For devs & small biz owners

If you build client sites, this could be a nice upsell “add AI chat support” and charge extra.

If you’re a small biz owner, it can handle basic customer questions automatically.

💬 I’d love feedback

I built this fully bootstrapped, from licensing system to email automation.

Would love to hear:

What you’d improve before I scale it

If you’d use it on your own site

Ideas for pricing or packaging

Any feedback (or roast 😅) appreciated!
