**This is a Service-Based Plugin**

AISaleBot is a **Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)** chatbot platform. This plugin acts as an integration layer that connects your WordPress site to the AISaleBot cloud service. Unlike traditional plugins that run entirely on your server, AISaleBot requires continuous connection to our external servers to provide AI-powered chatbot functionality.

This plugin relies on external services provided by **AI Brain Solution** to deliver chatbot functionality. By using this plugin, you acknowledge that data will be transmitted to these external services.
