Brilliant plugin!
For a service website this plugin is awesome. The knowledge base you can feed it is technically unlimited and the personality/behavior tweakable to the nth degree - and with that combo, you have an awesome AI assistant answering questions in a cool, professional friendly manner.I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Seach your own content using AI
I've been looking for a plugin like this for a long time and finally found one that does exactly what I need! It searches for AI using content from my own website! Very easy to set up, and customize your assistant however you want! Congratulations to the creators of this much-needed plugin!

Fantastic plugin, an extremely large number of features even in the free version
The ability to create custom AI templates and define prompts is simply brilliant. OpenRouter also works perfectly. There's an enormous variety of options for preparing prompts for text and images. It's truly a plugin that offers tremendous versatility even in the free version. It also works flawlessly with Metabox CPTs and Woocommerce. I'll gladly purchase the premium version; thank you for this sophisticated technical development. I've tested several AI tools, but this plugin is hard to beat in terms of speed and the useful range of features and automations. Product descriptions for WooCommerce can also be created and expanded with ease. Thank you so much!

a must AI plugins for WP
A super great AI plugin all the latest best features, with content management / knowledge base even better than anybody = 5 stars for sure ... and far less critical bugs than others adding plenty of features as if not testing. That being said, it would be nice to improve even more the management of big knowledge base, what the plugin is already great at, such as: bulk add all new posts from a category, that are not included yet bulk update/refresh the ones already in the base or older than xyz .... currently for that, its painful if you have a couple of thousands ;) and hard to avoid duplicates

Best AI Plugin For Wordpress
I especially like how customizable the chatbot can be made to be. Also the size of the chatbot pop up can be reduced or increased. Settings are not complicated.
