Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Bring your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Alibaba Qwen/DashScope, DeepSeek, Zhipu)…
  • Site learning: indexes your posts and pages so the bot answers from your content
  • Knowledge base: add Q&A or upload TXT/MD/PDF/DOCX files (large documents are split into parts automatically so they embed reliably), with priority over general…
  • RAG hybrid search: combines keyword and semantic retrieval for grounded replies
  • Grounded Answers Only: an optional mode that makes the bot reply “I couldn’t find that” instead of inventing an answer your content doesn’t support
  • Web search: lets the bot pull current information when configured
  • MCP tools: exposes 5 Model Context Protocol tools, so agents such as Claude or ChatGPT can read and act on your site through conversation
  • Usage dashboard: tracks conversations, messages, and API cost
  • Usage Control: optional per-visitor daily caps so public traffic can’t run up your API bill
  • Unanswered Questions: records what the bot could not answer, with one-click “Add to knowledge” and an AI-drafted FAQ page
  • AI-smell score: an optional read-only score that flags machine-sounding wording in Japanese replies (detection only — replies are never altered)
  • Industry starter templates: one click applies a ready-made system prompt and preset questions for hotels, shops, clinics, professional services, or company…

  • 実運用でも問題なく、使いやすいプラグイン

    導入してしばらく経ちますが、今のところサイト訪問者（お客様）からの苦情等はなく、問題なくスムーズに稼働しています。万が一AIの回答が間違っていた場合でも、後から「ナレッジ設定」を追加することで次回以降の回答を修正できるため、実運用上も不都合を感じていません。手軽に導入できてしっかりと管理ができる、実用的な良いプラグインだと思います。

  • 無料で使えて、日本語対応の安心感。

    自社サイトにチャットボットが欲しいと考えていました。有料版にする前に無料版で使い勝手を試せるのが良い。もちろん無料で使い続けることもできるので、しばらくチャットボットを育ててみます。日本語で分かりやすい説明と動画があるのも安心でした。

  • Everything you'll ever need for an AI chatbot

    It was actually m ChatGTP who recommended me using Rapls and also helped me to set it up. The plugin is very impressive and functional. The cost/benefit are great, as a one time payment will take you a long way. Everything works as expected and is surprisingly easy to set up. Highly recommended.

  • ホームページに楽にチャットボットを設置！

    当方の扱っている店舗のHPに比較的楽にチャットボットを設置できました。月々の有料サービスがあるなかで、初期費用のみ安価で出来るのがすばらしいです。サイト学習も入れるとHPの内容を反映してくれます。

  • 機能が充実しており、かゆいところに手が届く

    無料版でも応答回数による制限などもなく、Gemini APIの無料枠でも動くため、ランニングコストがかからない。開発者が日本の方ということもあり、私には分かりやすく機能も充実しており、かゆいところに手が届く感じがある。 無料版でもナレッジ登録ができるため、FAQを学習させることで基本的な質問対応は可能ですが、Pro版のサイト学習と自動学習はとても便利。会話ログから利用者の潜在ニーズを拾ってWebサイトのコンテンツを充実させたり、FAQを充実させることでSEOやLLMOにも効果的で、コンテンツが充実すればその分、チャットの精度も上がるという良い循環ができる。 他にも便利なツールがたくさんあるので、試していきたい。
