Is this plugin free?

Yes! The plugin is completely free. However, you’ll need an API key from an AI provider (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Claude, or OpenRouter). Google Gemini offers a free tier perfect for testing.

Which AI provider should I choose?

  • Google Gemini 2.5 Flash: FREE tier, great for small-medium stores
  • OpenAI GPT-4o: Best quality, higher cost
  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Excellent balance of quality and speed
  • OpenRouter: Access to many models, good for experimentation

Does it work with my theme?

Yes! The widget is designed to work with any WordPress theme. It’s fully self-contained and doesn’t interfere with your theme’s styling.

Will it slow down my site?

No. The AI widget loads asynchronously and doesn’t impact your site’s initial page load speed. AI responses are fast (typically 1-3 seconds).

Can I customize the widget appearance?

Absolutely! You can customize:
* Position (four corners)
* Primary color
* Widget title
* Greeting message
* Magic prompts (quick suggestions)
* Light/dark theme

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. The plugin only sends data to AI providers when users actively interact with the widget. No data is collected or shared without user action.

Can customers add products to cart through the AI?

Yes! The AI can recommend products and add them to the cart directly from the conversation.

Does it support multilingual stores?

Yes! The plugin is translation-ready and compatible with WPML and Polylang. All user-facing strings can be translated.

How do I track performance?

Go to AI Assistant → Analytics to view:
* Total conversations
* Products recommended
* Cart additions via AI
* Most common queries
* Conversion rates

What if the AI can’t find products?

Make sure to index your products first by going to AI Assistant → Index Products. The plugin uses embeddings for semantic search, which requires products to be indexed.

Can I disable embeddings?

Yes. In Settings → RAG Settings, you can disable embeddings and use traditional full-text search instead. Embeddings provide better results but require OpenAI API calls for indexing.

What happens during high traffic?

The plugin includes rate limiting to protect your API costs. You can configure limits in Settings → Advanced.

Does it collect analytics data?

Only locally in your WordPress database. NO data is sent to external servers except to your chosen AI provider for generating responses.
