What is the Voice AI Chat Widget?


The Voice AI Chat Widget is a new widget type that lets website visitors hold live, microphone-based conversations with an AI agent entirely inside the browser. Instead of launching a phone call, the conversation streams through WebRTC, creating a friction-free, voice-first experience that feels natural and immediate.


Key Benefits of the Voice Widget


Voice AI turns your standard chat bubble into a real-time conversation booth:


  • Zero friction – visitors speak instantly without dialing a number or installing an app.

  • Human-like engagement – natural speech keeps prospects talking longer and sharing more details.

  • Higher conversion – real-time voice qualifies and books leads while interest is hot.

  • Brandable agent name – display a friendly persona (e.g., “BuilderAi”) right in the widget.

  • Built-in security – reCAPTCHA throttles abuse; a call-recording disclaimer ensures compliance.

Voice-Only Chat Type


Voice-only mode streams audio through the visitor’s mic and speakers so the entire call lives inside the chat window—no PSTN or VoIP connection required. This makes it ideal for quick demos, support triage, or hands-free sales conversations. 


Configurable AI Agent Name


Give your AI a friendly, on-brand identity by setting a display name in the widget builder (Sites > Chat Widgets > Agent tab). The chosen name appears on every voice reply, reinforcing trust and professionalism. 



Built-In Call-Recording Notice


To keep expectations clear, the widget surfaces a banner that reads “All voice AI calls made using chat widgets cannot be recorded.” This transparency protects both you and your visitors from compliance confusion. 



reCAPTCHA Protection


If a visitor connects or disconnects 10 times within 60 seconds, the system prompts Google reCAPTCHA to confirm they’re human, stopping bot loops and malicious toll-free abuse before it starts.



Browser-Based Engagement


Because everything runs in-browser via WebRTC, there’s no telephony setup, SIP trunk, or softphone to configure. Agencies can embed the widget anywhere a normal HighLevel chat bubble fits—websites, funnels, blogs, or the Client Portal.


Supported Features


  • Start a voice call with the AI agent.

  • Mute the agent during conversation.

  • Provide contact information during the call.

  • End or restart a call when needed.


Note: Call transfer is not yet supported while in beta.

How to Set Up the Voice Widget


A correct setup ensures that the Voice Widget works smoothly on your website. The process is simple and requires adding a script to your site’s code.



1. Navigate to Sites → Chat Widget → NewVoice AI as the widget type.





2. Locate the Get Code option and copy the provided <script> code.



3. Paste the script into your website:

  • For custom-coded sites, place it in the <head> or <footer> section.

  • For platforms like Wix, Shopify, and Squarespace, use their custom code embed feature.


Note: Save and publish your changes. Test the widget by visiting your live site and starting a voice call.


Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Do visitors have to grant mic permission every time?
Most modern browsers remember permission after the first allow, but private/incognito sessions will ask again.



Q: Can I offer both text chat and Voice AI in one widget?
Not yet. Voice AI is currently a dedicated “Voice-Only” widget type. Use separate widgets (text vs. voice) if you need both.



Q: Is the audio recorded anywhere in HighLevel?
No. Voice AI Chat Widget calls are streamed only; recording is disabled to comply with privacy regulations.



Q: What happens if the visitor’s connection drops?
The call ends gracefully. The visitor can click the mic icon to reconnect; repeated drops trigger reCAPTCHA.



Q: Does Voice AI work on mobile browsers?
Yes—Safari (iOS 16+), Chrome, and Edge support in-browser audio as long as the user allows microphone access. 



Q: Can agencies set different AI agents for different pages?
Absolutely. Create multiple Voice AI widgets—each with its own agent persona—and embed the appropriate script on each page.
