I always have a 404 error. It seems that the plugin does not work anymore.

Doesn’t work if you follow the plugin instructions. Always returns Please ensure you entered a valid Assistant URL (404). Click here?for debug information.
Instead grab the embed code from the, errr, whatever screen it is within Web chat setup (the live one, not the draft one, there seems to be no way to copy live setup to draft???) and place it in your website <head> section. That works a treat.
Or if you’re desperate to use a plugin then grab the embed code above and within it you will see the correct Assistant URL, not the incorrect one that appears to be presented in the area you are told to get them from in the plugin instructions.
Then the Watson chat system works a treat.

works well but it would be much better if there is an option to add a typing animation that shows the bot is waiting for a response since it takes some time to connect with IBM

Simple to set up – more customization would be nice, such as adjustable size, stationary settings.

This works well and is intuitive. Easy integration with IBM Cloud. A feature suggestion might be allowing users to modify and edit more of the CSS properties of chatbot beyond basic font and icon sizing. Maybe a custom CSS box specifically for the chatbot design? Anyway, great feature.

the plugin is great when it works, but too often it will stop working and start again or just stop altogether for long periods of time and unfortunately they don’t respond to all support requests – just some?
I know the plugin is free but if you’re building a business on this it can be very detrimental to work this way. We are looking into implementing this directly and avoiding the use of a ‘novice’ company

Not only a great plugin but really fast support when IBM make changes to Watson. Awesome.

A very good plugin that works perfectly with the Watson API. Not too much to say as it works so well! However I did find one 403 Forbidden response in the loading sequence – it’s still five star though. Thanks guys – great job!

When I first read about the Watson Assistant Conversation plugin, I was impressed with what I saw. Generally speaking, the Watson has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, that potential seems severely limited by the actual support that IBM and Cognitive Class offer for the Watson plugin.
I have a support thread on this page that has received no response in 7 days. I have finished building my chatbot, but am having a “minor” deployment issue (minor in terms of scale, but significant in terms of user experience issue on the deployment side ). I haven’t even received a “we are looking into this” response, despite two follow up messages from myself.
Long story short, I am impressed by the potential, but the poor support is forcing me to explore competitors’ options for a chatbot.

Update #2
The plugin has been updated to support the API credentials for Sydney!
***
Update #1
Ok, so apparently if you set your cloud location to Sydney rather than the default US South, you can’t use this plugin. I switched to US South and the credentials page is now totally different.
***
I’ve done the course, and the Workspace Credentials within the Deploy window do not match the WordPress plugin’s config options: username and password. I guess the username is the Workspace ID or similar, but there’s no password to be seen. Running the Assistant in the Sydney cloud, not US.

At first I very much appreciated the possibility to integrate Watson Assistant on my website for free and have some configuration options and even support for it.
However, it seems like in every new release they put in a new big bug when they tried to solve another (e.g. first the chat window opened full screen in any browser width and now it doesn’t in phone view where it is absolutely needed for good usage. They even limit font size at 9 so one cannot see much of the dialog flow now).
The worst part of all is that the plugin is completely instable since a couple of weeks already. That means, it randomly appears and disappears (most of the time just not displayed – especially at weekends(?)). And no support is answering to this issue. So what use does the plugin actually have then?
Thus, it got really annyoing and I am about to switch to competitors like google’s dialogflow.

Turns out you have to create multiple accounts so you can take a class to learn how to develop your own chat bot. Although it’s made much simpler than totally learning and doing it all on your own this is not a good solution for one person with limited time and knowledge. I read the description “In a few minutes, you can train Watson to answer frequently asked questions” this is simply not the case with this plugin thus I’ve just wasted plenty time.

Great plugin, works perfect. I took the course on Cognitive class as well, very useful. Great work and thanks, very impressed.
Some adjustments to the layout possible (position, color, size, …), which is totally acceptable and it accepts HTML code!!!
But I’m also looking for (a paid version) for a total customisable version for meeting clients needs. There seems no WP plugin for Watson Assistant available yet (besides this great one).
Thanks Antonio! Great work.

There is a learning curve to creating your conversation bot. But, once you get into the groove of it, Watson really does live up to the hype.

Tested many chat-bot plugins and came across this one. No need to continue testing different chat-bots. This one does exactly what we are looking for. A++ on a great plugin! Keep up the good work.

There are many ways to add a chatbot to a site. Most of them require considerable programming skills. This plug-in makes it brain-dead simple to add a chatbot to any WordPress site. And if you take this free Build Your Own Chatbot course you will not only have a free chatbot, you will have a GREAT chatbot.

First review: This plugin does not work and there is no support. I can only give one star.
Update 1: After banging my head into the wall and making numerous attempts testing different ways of credentials I managed to get it working. Seems very promising now and I will play around with it. I increased my rating from 1 to 3. I might increase it further after some more testing.
Update 2: A lot of playing around to understand how this works. Progress is a bit slow since none of my support tickets in the IBM support system has been answered. Watson still makes mistakes and for some of them it (so far) seems difficult to fix. I correct Watson according to instructions (when it miss an entity) but Watson does not seem to learn from that. It does the same mistake over again even if I adjust this particular mistake five times. I would expect that support tickets are answered since I signed up for a paid subscription of this conversation service. Hence, I only increase to four stars. I think this will work fine after a lot of work. (see update 3 below: After a while I understood that these problems were not related to this plugin but rather to IBM Watson conversation services and that is another company).
Update 3: This plugin seems to be stable and work fine. Support related to this plugin works fine and they reply quickly. My main problems has been with the way the IBM Watson conversation works where there seems to be a few glitches. However, so far I think I have founds ways to work around most of them. It should be pointed out that this plugin is not IBM Watson conversation services but rather a link to it. This plugin is to my knowledge the best (and only?) way to implement IBM Watson conversation into a WordPress site. I upgraded this plugin to 5 stars.
