How to add AI Chatbot to a Movable Type blog

Embed AI Chatbot on Movable Type

01

Create a AI Chatbot plugin for Movable Type on Common Ninja

First, create a Movable Type AI Chatbot plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the AI Chatbot and enter the Editor.

02

Save the AI Chatbot plugin

When you're done creating the AI Chatbot plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the AI Chatbot Embed Code

When you're ready to add the AI Chatbot plugin to your Movable Type blog, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Movable Type blog.

04

Paste the code to your Movable Type website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Movable Type blog editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Movable Type’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the AI Chatbot Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s AI Chatbot plugin on your Movable Type blog.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s AI Chatbot plugin on your Movable Type plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Movable Type blog’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the AI Chatbot plugin to your Movable Type blog. You can do this by putting it straight into your Movable Type blog's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the AI Chatbot widget when you want visitors to get instant answers without waiting for human support. The chatbot learns from your site and uploaded materials, so it can respond accurately to common questions, guide users to the right pages, and reduce friction in discovery. This is especially valuable for SaaS products, ecommerce stores, and content heavy sites where users often need clarification before acting. By offering help at the moment of doubt, you reduce bounce and support more confident decisions. The chat can also collect leads through forms and save transcripts for review, giving you insight into user needs and gaps in your content. An AI chatbot turns your site into an interactive assistant that scales support, improves experience, and keeps users moving forward.
