### External services

This plugin connects to the OpenAI API to generate chatbot responses.

It sends data to OpenAI only when a site visitor submits a chat message. Depending
on the plugin configuration, the transmitted data can include:

 * the visitor’s chat message
 * the configured bot system prompt
 * relevant recent chat history needed to answer the request
 * optional uploaded knowledge-file content assigned to the bot

This service is provided by OpenAI.

 * Terms of Use: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/
 * Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/

Site owners are responsible for assessing whether their privacy notice and consent
flows need to mention this external service.

## UKK

### What is included in the free edition?

The free edition includes one active bot, voice recording, design settings, popup
mode for Bot 1, and one uploaded knowledge file (up to 10 MB) for Bot 1. Two OpenAI
models are available: GPT-4o mini and GPT-4.1 mini.

### How do I embed the chatbot on my website?

Use the shortcode `[bkiai_chat bot="1"]` to embed the chatbot on a page or post.
You can also enable the popup mode in the Bot 1 settings.

### Does the plugin use external services?

Yes. The plugin sends chat requests to OpenAI in order to generate responses. Please
review the external-services section above.

### Which models are available in the free edition?

The free edition includes GPT-4o mini and GPT-4.1 mini. Pro and Expert add the full
model set including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-5 mini, GPT-5, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3,
and GPT-5.4 nano/mini/pro.

### What is the maximum knowledge-file size?

The free edition allows one knowledge file up to 10 MB. Supported formats: Markdown(.
md), plain text (.txt), and CSV. Pro allows up to 25 MB per file, Expert up to 100
MB per file.

### Do I need an OpenAI API key?

Yes. For the plugin to work, you need your own OpenAI API key. The plugin connects
your WordPress site to the OpenAI models, and OpenAI API usage costs are billed 
separately through your OpenAI account.

### Can I upgrade to Pro or Expert later?

Yes. You can start with the Free edition and later upgrade to Pro (2 bots, all advanced
features) or Expert (up to 20 bots) at any time. Upgrade is possible on the BusinessKiai
product page.

### Can the chatbot read my website content as knowledge?

Website-content knowledge sources (crawling your own pages as knowledge) is a Pro/
Expert feature. In the Free edition, you can upload one Markdown, TXT, or CSV file
as the bot’s knowledge base.

### Is the free edition suitable for production sites?

Yes, the free edition is fully functional for smaller sites, first chatbot projects,
and single-bot use cases. The public request protection (per-IP burst limit) and
daily token limit help control spam and API costs.

## Muutosloki

#### 3.5.0

 * Added semantic search powered by OpenAI embeddings. The chatbot now finds relevant
   information in knowledge files based on meaning, not just keywords. Questions
   like ”how much does it cost?” now correctly match content about ”Preis” or ”Gebühr”
   even without shared words.
 * Added automatic background migration for existing knowledge files. When the plugin
   is updated, embeddings for already-uploaded files are generated via WP-Cron without
   blocking the admin.
 * Added intelligent Markdown chunker that understands escaped Markdown syntax from
   Word/Google Docs exports, detects pseudo-headings, tracks heading hierarchy, 
   and enriches each chunk with its section context for significantly better retrieval
   quality.
 * Added keyword-fallback: if the OpenAI embeddings API is temporarily unavailable,
   the chatbot automatically falls back to the previous keyword-based search. No
   downtime for visitors.
 * Added status badges per knowledge file in admin (ready / preparing / no semantic
   search).
 * Added help popup with structuring guidelines and a downloadable example knowledge
   file (hair salon template).
 * Added debug mode via `?bkiai_debug=1` URL parameter (admins only) for troubleshooting
   bot answers.
 * Added dashboard widget showing indexed files, chunks, and search status.
 * Added new database table `{prefix}_bkiai_embeddings` to store vector data. Automatically
   created on plugin activation, removed on uninstall.

#### 3.4.0

 * Fixed: The shortcode `[bkiai_chat bot="1"]` now works correctly in the Gutenberg
   block editor and on Full Site Editing (FSE) block themes (Twenty Twenty-Three/
   Four/Five and similar). Previously the chat rendered its markup but produced 
   a `bkiaiChatConfig is not defined` JavaScript error on page load, and the input
   field could not send messages. Root cause: on block-based rendering the shortcode
   runs after the normal script-enqueue phase, so `wp_localize_script()` was ignored.
   The shortcode now outputs its JavaScript configuration as an inline script directly
   before the chat markup, which works reliably with any theme and page builder.
 * Fixed: Frontend assets are now loaded whenever Bot 1 is enabled, not only when
   popup mode is active. This allows the shortcode to be used on any page without
   first enabling popup mode.
 * Added explicit 10 MB upload limit per knowledge file in the free edition. Larger
   files are rejected with a clear admin notice that names the file and the limit,
   so the reason is transparent.
 * Added memory-safety guard for knowledge-file reading: files larger than the plugin
   can safely process in the current PHP memory limit are skipped rather than triggering
   an out-of-memory crash.
 * Improved knowledge-file retrieval: intent-aware ranking now boosts matching chunks
   when the visitor asks for a summary, a list, or a specific section. Heading-aware
   chunking, bullet-list detection, and first-chunk summary priority make answers
   more on-point without any configuration.
 * Markdown auto-detection: files saved as .txt but containing Markdown headings
   are now chunked with the Markdown chunker automatically, producing better section-
   level retrieval for knowledge articles.
 * Admin: upgrade links now point to the current BKiAI Chat sales page and pre-select
   the Pro 1-website variant in the EDD shopping cart, reducing friction on the 
   upgrade path.
 * Admin: remaining German strings in the upgrade box (header, button labels, description)
   translated to English for consistent UI.
 * Added German translation (bkiai-chat-de_DE.po/.mo) covering all current admin
   strings. The plugin now automatically displays in German when the WordPress site
   language is set to German.
 * Internal: plugin version constant (`BKIAI_CHAT_FREE_VERSION`) synchronised with
   the plugin header so that browser cache-busting for CSS/JS works correctly on
   updates.

#### 3.3.0

 * Improved free-edition frontend UX with right-aligned controls, clearer voice-
   button states, and a ready tone for browser voice input.
 * Added a bot-specific source-reference toggle with server-side source filtering
   for Bot 1.
 * Added public request protection settings plus an inline help popup in the free
   settings.
 * Improved knowledge-file retrieval with chunk-based matching for Markdown, TXT,
   and CSV files.
 * Moved BKiAI Chat to its own top-level admin menu and refreshed the free-edition
   settings flow.
 * Cleaned the WordPress.org package and line endings for a store-ready update.

#### 3.2.2

 * Improved frontend voice button UX with right-aligned controls, red active state,
   and a short ready tone.
 * Fixed transparent chat header logo rendering.
 * Added bot-specific source-reference toggle and server-side source filtering for
   Bot 1.
 * Added public burst protection settings for public chat requests in the free edition.
 * Improved knowledge-file retrieval with chunk-based matching for Markdown, TXT,
   and CSV files.

#### 3.2.0

 * WordPress.org resubmission release with the cleaned free build, updated package
   structure, and streamlined settings experience.

#### 3.1.11

 * Removed remaining realtime/live-voice JavaScript from the free build and kept
   voice input limited to supported browser speech recognition.
 * Cleaned dead locked-feature CSS selectors and repository wording in uninstall
   metadata.

#### 3.1.10

 * Clarified the real minimum message-area height and aligned the saved setting 
   with the frontend minimum of 150px.

#### 3.1.9

 * Fix: restored popup page selection list and missing context/helper methods for
   the WP.org test build.

#### 3.1.8

 * Fixed missing AJAX chat handlers in the WP.org candidate build.
 * Restored selectable page/post list for popup targeting.

#### 3.1.7

 * Removed remaining premium-only PHP handlers from the free build, including realtime
   voice, image generation, PDF generation, and local log-storage code.
 * Cleaned the package structure for the WordPress.org re-submission and kept the
   in-plugin upgrade link focused on the external product page.

#### 3.1.6

 * Added a WordPress.org-safe upgrade link to the Pro and Expert product page inside
   the settings screen.
 * Kept the free settings focused on usable free functionality without reintroducing
   locked premium tabs.

#### 3.1.1

 * Removed repository-internal compare and upgrade areas from the free build.
 * Reduced the free build to one active bot and free-only options.
 * Moved admin CSS and admin JavaScript out of the main plugin file.
 * Clarified external-services documentation for OpenAI.
 * Updated the plugin name to BKiAI Chat.

#### 3.1.0

 * Added a backend design setting for the default chat input-field height.
 * Added animated three-dot loading feedback before streamed answers appear.
 * Refined the streamed response speed to feel more natural and human-like.
