It provides a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) based agent that can answer your visitors’ questions using your site’s actual content. Designed as a true out-of-the-box solution, ChatBudgie is incredibly easy to use. Once activated, it automatically handles the indexing of your posts and pages and building a local search index without any complex configuration. ChatBudgie understands your content and provides context-aware responses, ensuring your visitors get the help they need. #### Smart Chat * **Knowledge Base Answers**: Delivers accurate, easy-to-understand responses based on your website’s actual content. * **Modern AI Integration**: Powered by leading models like OpenAI ChatGPT, Claude, Qwen and etc for intelligent conversations. * **RAG Technology**: Uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation to ensure AI stays grounded in your data. #### Easy to set up * **Seamless Integration**: Connect your SuperBudgie account in seconds and you’re ready to go. * **Visual Customizer**: Easily match the chat widget to your site’s brand with color and icon settings. * **Auto Indexing**: Knowledge base indexing runs automatically in the background, you don’t have to manually manage it. #### Zero Maintenance * **Auto-Maintained Index**: Your knowledge base index is automatically updated whenever content changes or new posts are added, ensuring your chatbot always has the latest info. * **Managed AI Models**: ChatBudgie handles the selection and configuration of leading AI models, so you don’t have to worry about technical details. * **Unified Token Billing**: Simply pay for ChatBudgie tokens; we manage the complex relationships and payments with AI providers. ### How it works ChatBudgie bridges the gap between your website content and AI through a sophisticated workflow: 1. **Local Knowledge Base**: The plugin scans your WordPress posts and pages, breaking them into semantic “chunks.” 2. **AI Embedding**: It calls superbudgie embedding API to select advanced AI models and transform these chunks into high-dimensional vector embeddings, which are stored securely in a **local** database on your server. 3. **Smart Search**: When a user asks a question, ChatBudgie performs a local vector search to find the most relevant information from your local index. 4. **LLM Generation**: The user query with retrieved context is sent to superbudgie chat API to select a Large Language Model (LLM) like GPT or Claude to generate a precise, human-like response, ensuring the answer is always grounded in your site’s actual data. ### External services This plugin relies on the following external services: #### SuperBudgie platform ChatBudgie connects to the SuperBudgie platform (`https://chat.superbudgie.com/`) to authenticate the site, generate embeddings for indexed content, generate chat responses, show account and billing information, and create/capture token purchase orders. Data sent to SuperBudgie depends on the feature being used: * When an administrator connects the plugin to a SuperBudgie account, the plugin sends the OAuth callback code, the plugin app name, and the site URL to the SuperBudgie authentication service. * When content is indexed, the plugin sends the post or page title, excerpt, content, content type, site URL, plugin app name, and the site’s ChatBudgie app key to the SuperBudgie embedding service. * When a visitor sends a chat message, the plugin sends the visitor’s message, recent conversation history, the relevant content snippets retrieved from the local index, the site URL, and the site’s ChatBudgie app key to the SuperBudgie chat service so it can generate a response. * When an administrator opens the ChatBudgie account, usage, or orders screens, the plugin sends the site’s ChatBudgie app key, plus pagination parameters for usage/orders requests, to the SuperBudgie account service. * When an administrator buys tokens, the plugin sends the selected package, amount, currency, display price, site URL, order ID, the plugin app name, and the site’s ChatBudgie app key to the SuperBudgie payment service. SuperBudgie terms of service: https://chat.superbudgie.com/terms-of-service SuperBudgie privacy policy: https://chat.superbudgie.com/privacy-policy #### PayPal ChatBudgie loads the PayPal JavaScript SDK in the plugin’s admin orders screen and uses PayPal to let administrators complete token purchases. Data sent to PayPal depends on the purchase flow: * When the admin orders page is loaded, the administrator’s browser connects to` https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js` to load the PayPal checkout script. * When an administrator completes checkout, PayPal receives the payment/order information needed to process the transaction. Payment details are handled by PayPal, not stored by this plugin.

It breaks the text into chunks and generates vector embeddings for each chunk. ### Is my data safe? The vector index of the knowledge base is stored locally in this site’s WordPress uploads directory. Only public data of your website will be indexed. ### Can I customize the chat bubble icon? Yes! You can choose from several built-in icons or upload your own custom icon in the Appearance settings. ### Does it support real-time updates? Yes, whenever you publish or update a post, ChatBudgie automatically updates its index. ### Why should I buy tokens? Tokens are the fuel for ChatBudgie’s AI capabilities. They are consumed when indexing your content (creating AI embeddings) and when answering user questions (generating LLM responses). By purchasing tokens from ChatBudgie, you get access to leading models like OpenAI ChatGPT and Claude without needing to manage separate API accounts or complex billing with multiple AI providers—we handle all that for you. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ChatBudgie” is open source software.
