AI Chatbot for Ghost
Built for Publications and Membership Sites
Ghost powers publications, newsletters, and membership sites that care deeply about reading experience and performance. Chatmount adds an AI chatbot to your Ghost site in 5 minutes via Code Injection, trains on your posts and pages, and uses a lazy-loading shell so the chat doesn't compete with your content for attention or page weight. Useful for capturing newsletter signups, answering subscription questions, or supporting members with content-related Q&A.

Why add an AI chatbot to Ghost?
Ghost's audience is publishers, newsletter writers, and membership-site operators — people whose business depends on reading experience and conversion to paid subscribers. Most chatbot widgets compete with content and slow the page; either is unacceptable for a Ghost site.
Chatmount on Ghost uses Code Injection (Settings > Code injection > Site Footer), the standard Ghost path for adding third-party scripts. The widget loads lazily so it doesn't compete with your content for page weight. Train on your posts to enable content-related Q&A; configure subscribe-CTA flows to route warm prospects into your newsletter signup.
Install in 5 steps
Step-by-step for Ghost. No developer required.
Create a Chatmount chatbot trained on your Ghost site
Sign up for a free Chatmount account, create a new chatbot, and paste your Ghost URL as the training source. The crawler walks your posts, pages, and tags.
Customize the widget for your publication
From the dashboard, set primary color (match your Ghost theme), position, bubble icon, and welcome message. Lean simple; readers don't want to be interrupted.
Copy the one-line embed script
From the deployment page, copy the embed script.
<!-- Chatmount AI Chat Widget --> <script src="https://services.chatmount.co/embed/YOUR_CHATBOT_ID.js" async ></script>Add via Ghost Code Injection
In Ghost Admin: Settings > Code injection > Site Footer. Paste the script. Save. The widget appears on every page of your Ghost site.
(Optional) Member-only injection
For Ghost membership sites, you can use a member-only Code Injection block to show the chatbot only to logged-in members for support workflows.

Member-only support workflows
Show the chatbot only to logged-in members via member-aware Code Injection for subscription-tier support.

No app, no plugin, no theme edit — standard Ghost Code Injection workflow.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Everything Ghost teams ask before adding an AI chatbot.
Where do I paste the embed in Ghost?
Ghost Admin > Settings > Code injection > Site Footer. Paste the script and save. The widget appears on every page of your Ghost site.
Can it integrate with Ghost members?
Indirectly via webhook. Captured email signups can be pushed to your Ghost members API or to another email tool. For member-only chatbot visibility, use member-aware Code Injection blocks.
Will it slow my Ghost publication?
No. Chatmount uses a 3KB lazy-loading shell on page load; the full chat UI only downloads when a reader clicks. Ghost's reading-experience performance stays intact.
Does it work with Ghost themes?
Yes — every Ghost theme. The embed is standard HTML in the site footer; theme code doesn't matter.
Can it answer questions from my post archive?
Yes — the bot trains on auto-crawled posts and answers reader questions with citations to specific articles. Schedule re-crawls to keep the bot current with new posts.
Is it useful for publications, or just SaaS sites?
Both. Publications use it for archive Q&A, newsletter signup, and member support. SaaS sites use it for product questions and lead capture. The same chatbot handles either role with appropriate training.
Can I show the chatbot only to paying members?
Yes — use Ghost's member-aware Code Injection (or conditional Handlebars in your theme) to show the chatbot only to logged-in or paying members.
