Descriere
Why „Swayam”?
Swayam (स्वयं)—an ancient Sanskrit word meaning „self.” Your content. Your knowledge. Autonomously intelligent.
Swayam AI Chatbot is a WordPress plugin that provides an intelligent chatbot powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. It indexes your WordPress content and uses AI to answer visitor questions based on your actual posts, pages, and custom post types.
Features
- RAG-Powered Q&A – Answers questions using your actual WordPress content as context
- Automatic Content Indexing – Syncs posts, pages, and custom post types to a vector database
- Auto-Sync on Publish – Automatically updates the index when content is published, updated, or deleted
- Customizable Chat Interface – Use the shortcode or floating widget
- Admin Dashboard – Easy configuration with connection testing
- REST API – Programmatic access to the chatbot
- Rate Limiting – Built-in protection against spam
Shortcode Usage
Embed the chatbot on any page or post:
[swayam_ai_chatbot]
With custom attributes:
[swayam_ai_chatbot title="Ask about our products" placeholder="What would you like to know?"]
