Install Anhora in minutes

Embed the chat widget, sync knowledge from Payload or WordPress, or push content from your own Next.js / NestJS backend with @anhora/sdk. Pick the path that matches your stack — they compose. For live Slack handoff (team messaging), see /slack.

5 minute setup
Automatic widget updates
Framework agnostic

Integration paths

Visitor site → Widget → Anhora Cloud (chat)
Payload CMS → Plugin export → Anhora pull (knowledge)
WordPress → Plugin ingest → Anhora (knowledge / Woo catalog)
Your backend → @anhora/sdk upsert → Anhora (knowledge)

@anhora/next

Visitor-facing chat only. Best for App Router sites. The widget updates automatically, so you don’t need to update your application every time we release improvements. For knowledge from your own APIs, see Next.js backend; for Payload CMS, see Payload sync.
