It supports multiple AI providers, runs locally without API keys for FAQ matching, and offers enterprise-grade features for privacy-conscious organizations. #### Core Capabilities * **Multi-Provider AI** — Supports OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Claude (Anthropic), Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and Hugging Face. Switch providers without changing your workflow. * **Semantic Vector Search** — Two-tier architecture: Local MySQL engine for shared hosting (no custom PHP extensions needed) and cloud engines (Pinecone, Supabase) for scale. Finds content by meaning, not just keywords. * **Browser-Based FAQ Matching** — Answers common questions instantly in the visitor’s browser. Zero API costs, works offline, no data leaves the site. Falls back to cloud AI when needed. * **WordPress Autopilot** — AI agent that manages your WordPress site through chat commands: create posts, check for updates, scan for broken images, clear cache, and more. Administrator-only access. * **MCP Server** — Expose your chatbot, FAQs, and site analytics to external AI agents via the Model Context Protocol. Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or custom AI agents directly to your WordPress installation. * **GEO Scanner** — Analyze content for Generative Engine Optimization. Score each post/page across 10 factors that determine how AI search engines (Google SGE, Perplexity, ChatGPT Search) evaluate your content. One-click fixes for schema markup. * **Empathy Engine** — Real-time emotion detection adapts the AI’s response tone. Automatically escalates frustrated users to human support. * **Glass Box Transparency** — Every AI response shows a confidence score (0-100%) with source attribution. Admins can review low-confidence queries and improve their FAQ database. #### Designed for Every Hosting Environment * **Shared hosting (Bluehost, SiteGround, GoDaddy, HostGator)** — Local MySQL vector engine works without SSH access or custom PHP extensions * **Cloud / VPS** — Pinecone or Supabase for high-scale vector search * **Privacy-first mode** — Local Brain + Privacy Mode = zero external API calls #### Why Choose Sentient AI? Unlike basic chatbot plugins, Sentient AI offers: – Semantic search that understands meaning, not just keywords – Full site management through chat commands (Autopilot)– External AI agent integration via MCP (standard protocol) – Content optimization for AI-powered search engines (GEO) – Emotion-aware responses with automatic escalation– Transparent confidence scoring and source attribution – Privacy-first local processing with zero API costs – Multi-provider flexibility — use OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or others ### External Services This plugin connects to external AI service providers to generate intelligent chatbot responses.

The browser-based FAQ matcher and Local Brain feature answer common questions using your FAQ database without any API calls. For AI-generated responses beyond existing FAQs, an API key from a supported provider is required. ### Which AI providers are supported? OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-3.5), Claude by Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter ( multi-model access), and Hugging Face. You can switch between providers at any time. ### How does the semantic vector search work? The Vector Database (v2.8.0) converts your content into mathematical embeddings and stores them for similarity search. The Local MySQL engine works on any shared hosting using standard WordPress tables. For higher scale, Pinecone and Supabase cloud engines handle millions of vectors with SOC 2/GDPR compliance. ### Which vector engine should I choose? For shared hosting with under 10,000 posts, the Local MySQL engine works without any additional setup. For larger sites, Pinecone or Supabase offer free tiers and enterprise-grade scalability. ### What is the MCP Server? The MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol, a standard for connecting AI agents to external systems. It allows tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or custom AI agents to interact with your WordPress site — querying the chatbot, searching FAQs, managing content, and accessing analytics — all authenticated via API key. ### How does the GEO Scanner help my content? Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) ensures your content is cited by AI-powered search engines. The scanner analyzes each post across 10 factors — structured data, FAQ sections, citations, statistics, author expertise, content structure, and more— providing a score (0-100) with actionable suggestions and one-click fixes. ### Does this work with WooCommerce? Yes. The chatbot supports product lookup, order status checking, recommendations, and cart information. WooCommerce data is accessible through chat and is included in the Autopilot’s site management capabilities. ### Is my data sent to external services? Only when you explicitly configure an AI provider API key and a user query requires AI-generated response. FAQ-matched queries, Local Brain responses, and Privacy Mode interactions never leave your server. The plugin holds no data on its own — you control all API keys and provider choices. ### Can I customize the chatbot appearance? Yes. Six preset themes (Indigo, Ocean, Emerald, Rose, Amber, Slate) plus custom color pickers, border radius adjustment, and a live preview in settings. You can also configure quick replies, canned responses, and a pre-chat form. ### What is WordPress Autopilot? An administrator-only AI agent that executes WordPress tasks through the chat interface. Supported commands include creating posts and pages, listing content, checking for plugin/theme/core updates, finding broken images, clearing cache, and retrieving site statistics. All actions are logged for review. ## Arvostelut There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Avustajat & Kehittäjät “Sentient AI — AI-Powered WordPress Chatbot with Semantic Search, Autopilot & MCP Server” perustuu avoimeen lähdekoodiin.
