ChatAds is an embeddable AI chat widget for publishers. Readers ask your site an AI assistant questions right on the page (like a ChatGPT box that lives in the corner of your posts), and ChatAds monetizes those chats with relevant in-line affiliate links. It works out of the box, with no training or content upload required. It installs on Ghost with a single line in Code injection, so there is nothing to maintain in your theme.

​
Why Ghost publishers use it

  • A new revenue stream that isn’t display ads. When a reader asks the assistant something with buying intent (“what’s a good beginner espresso machine?”), ChatAds can weave in an affiliate link. No banner clutter, no slowing your site down.
  • Keeps readers on your page. Instead of leaving to search elsewhere, readers get answers in context, on your site.
  • Zero content work. The assistant answers general questions immediately. You don’t have to feed it your archive or configure prompts to get started.
  • You stay in control. Appearance, which pages it shows on, and whether monetization is on are all managed from the ChatAds dashboard, not in your Ghost admin, so new features ship without you editing anything.

​
Install (about 2 minutes)

1. Get your widget key Sign up at app.getchatads.com (there’s a free tier). On the Settings tab, copy your embed snippet. Your key starts with cwk_. 2. Add it to Ghost In Ghost Admin:
  1. Go to Settings > Code injection
  2. Paste the snippet into the Site footer field:
  1. Click Save
That’s it. The launcher pill (default label “Ask AI”) appears in the bottom corner of your site. 3. Lock it to your domain Back on the ChatAds Settings tab, add your Ghost site’s domain to Allowed Domains so no one else can use your key.

​
Turning on monetization (optional)

Monetization is off by default. In the dashboard you can enable either or both:
  • Amazon affiliate links - the assistant recommends real products and links them with your Amazon Associates tag.
  • Affiliate link scraping - reuses the affiliate links you already have on the page, plus links to products mentioned on the page.
You can also just run the assistant as a free reader-engagement tool with monetization off.

​
Customization

From the dashboard you control the widget color, welcome message, starter questions, the AI’s tone, and which pages it appears on (for example, posts only, not your homepage). None of this touches your Ghost theme.
