It runs on OpenAI’s models using _your own_ OpenAI key, so you stay in control and OpenAI bills you directly for what you use. No middle-man, no monthly plugin fee. **Everything here is free and fully functional** — no trials, no locked buttons, no time limits, no “upgrade to continue”. #### Why you’ll like it * **Up and running in minutes** — paste your OpenAI key, pick a personality (Support, Sales/SDR or FAQ), and you’re live. * **Looks like part of your brand** — customise colours, icon, position and the welcome message. * **Turns chats into leads** — the assistant naturally collects name, email, phone, company and any custom field you want, and saves them for you. * **Works everywhere you build** — a floating widget, the `[growthai_chat]` shortcode, plus blocks for Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder and WPBakery. * **Speaks your visitor’s language** — automatically replies in the visitor’s browser language. * **Knows your content** — upload documents so the assistant answers from your own material, not guesses. * **Privacy-friendly** — optional cookie-consent banner and a one-click “delete all my data on uninstall” switch. Your conversations stay in your own database. #### Go further with Global AI Chat Pro When you’re ready to scale, the optional **Global AI Chat Pro** add-on builds right on top of this free plugin. It’s a separate download — learn more at https://globalai. software/plugin-global-ai-chat. Install it and everything you already set up keeps working; remove it and the free plugin carries on exactly as before. Nothing to migrate, nothing to lose. Pro unlocks the features businesses ask for most: * **Live human takeover** — jump into any conversation from the **iOS & Android app** and reply as a real person, with push notifications the moment a visitor needs you. * **One app for all your sites** — the mobile app manages **multiple WordPress sites from a single login**, so agencies and multi-brand teams handle every conversation in one place. * **Voice calls** — let a visitor start a **voice call** with your team straight from the chat, answered live in the app. * **Unlimited agents** — run separate assistants for sales, support, FAQ and more, each with its own prompt, look and knowledge. * **No OpenAI key needed** — switch to managed AI billed by simple token packs, with access to top models — perfect if you’d rather not manage an OpenAI account. * **Auto-sync your whole site** — pages, posts and WooCommerce products are indexed automatically so the assistant always answers with up-to-date info. * **AI Prompt Generator** — a guided wizard writes a high-quality agent prompt for you in a couple of minutes. * **Booking built in** — connect Google Calendar and let the assistant schedule meetings. * **Send leads anywhere** — outbound webhooks push every captured lead to your CRM or automation tool. * **Never miss a lead** — instant email + mobile push the moment someone becomes a lead. * **White-label** — remove the “Powered by” badge and make the widget fully your own. * **One-click auto-updates** and **conversation analytics**. See the screenshots below for a look at both the free widget and the Pro features. ### External services This plugin relies on **one** third-party service: the OpenAI API. No other external endpoint is contacted by the free plugin. #### OpenAI API (required) * **What it is:** OpenAI provides the language model that generates chat replies and, when you upload knowledge-base documents, runs the file search against them. * **What is sent:** Every chat message the visitor submits, plus the system prompt your agent is configured with, is sent to `https://api.openai.com/v1/responses` using your own API key. When you upload training documents, the file bytes are sent to `https://api.openai.com/v1/files` and registered with `https://api.openai. com/v1/vector_stores` so the agent can search them. * **When:** On every user message (chat completion) and only when an admin manually uploads/deletes a knowledge-base document (vector store). * **Terms of service:** https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use * **Privacy policy:** https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy #### Not contacted by this free plugin The companion Pro addon (separate download, not on wp.org) introduces additional endpoints under `https://saas.globalai.software/` for license verification, managed token billing, mobile-app push notifications, plugin auto-updates, Google Calendar OAuth, outbound webhooks, page/post auto-sync, and the AI prompt generator. None of those endpoints are reached from this free plugin’s code — they are documented here only so admins know what changes if they later install the Pro addon. ### Security #### Visitor session token (`session_id`) Every chat conversation is bound to a `session_id` token generated **client-side, in the visitor’s browser**, using `window.crypto.getRandomValues` (a 128-bit cryptographically random value rendered as 32 hex characters with the prefix `gai_`). The token is stored in `localStorage` after the visitor accepts the cookie consent banner; without consent, an in-memory ephemeral token is used and discarded when the tab closes. The `session_id` is the access key for the chat REST endpoints (`/wp-json/growthai/ v1/chat`, `/wp-json/growthai/v1/live-chat/poll`). These endpoints are intentionally public (`permission_callback => __return_true`) so that anonymous site visitors can chat without needing a WordPress account — knowing the token is what authorises the request, the same security model used by mainstream chat / support widgets ( Crisp, Tawk, Intercom). Implications: * The token is **not** derived from the IP, User-Agent, cookies the server sets, or any sequential / predictable scheme. A third party cannot guess another visitor’s token. * The plugin never logs full `session_id` values in plaintext outside the database row that owns the conversation. * If the visitor clears their browser storage, the next page load gets a fresh token and a fresh conversation. * Old browsers without the Web Crypto API fall back to `Math.random()` — a worse entropy source. We surface this in the JS for transparency; if your audience relies on legacy browsers, factor that into your threat model. ## Screenshots [⌊The AI chat widget answering a visitor and capturing their email — live on your site.⌉⌊The AI chat widget answering a visitor and capturing their email — live on your site.⌉[ The AI chat widget answering a visitor and capturing their email — live on your site.

Upload the `global-ai-chat` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via ** Plugins Add New** on WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu. 3. Go to **Global AI Chat Geral** and paste your OpenAI API key (get one at https:// platform.openai.com/api-keys). 4. Configure your agent under **Global AI Chat Agentes**. 5. The chat widget will appear on your site. ## FAQ ### Do I need an OpenAI API key? Yes. You provide your own OpenAI key in **Settings Geral**. OpenAI bills you directly for the usage. The plugin stores the key encrypted in `wp_options` (AES-256-CBC); the plaintext is read on demand for the chat request only. ### Does the plugin work without a Pro license? Yes, fully. There is no license gate on any feature shipped with this plugin. The Pro addon is a separate plugin distributed outside wp.org; it adds optional SaaS- backed features (managed token billing, mobile app, auto-updates, analytics) but installing or removing it never affects the free plugin’s behaviour. ### Where are the conversations stored? In your WordPress database, in the custom tables `wp_growthai_conversations` and` wp_growthai_agents`. Nothing about conversations leaves your site unless you configure a webhook or enable the optional Pro addon. ### What happens when I uninstall the plugin? By default WordPress removes only the plugin files and your data stays. If you enable** Settings Geral “Eliminar todos os dados ao desinstalar”**, the plugin’s uninstall handler additionally drops its tables and clears every `growthai_*` option, transient, post meta and cron hook. ### Does the plugin track visitors? No. Visitor chat messages are sent to OpenAI for the agent to reply, and are stored in your DB. Nothing is sent to any analytics provider by the free plugin. See ** External services** below for the full list of endpoints the plugin may contact. ### Does this free plugin contact saas.globalai.software? No. The free plugin only contacts `api.openai.com`, using your own OpenAI API key. The Global AI SaaS (`saas.globalai.software`) is only contacted when you separately install the optional Pro addon — it is not bundled with this plugin and is never reached from the code shipped here. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Global AI Chat” is open source software.

The bundled en_US/pt_PT/es_ES catalogs are loaded explicitly and a locale map picks the right one. #### 3.6.16 * Agents admin: the **Configuracao** tab now delegates extra-field collection to add-ons via the `growthai:collect-agent-fields` event (the same pattern the Leads tab already uses), so optional fields contributed by the separate Pro addon persist correctly. No behaviour change for the free plugin on its own. * readme: rewrote the description to be clearer and less technical, and added a Screenshots section. #### 3.6.15 * Fix: o nome do atendente nao aparecia no widget (ficava “Atendente”) porque o poll de live-chat por admin-ajax nao incluia o campo `name`. Agora inclui, e o nome por mensagem aparece tambem no widget do visitante. #### 3.6.14 * Mensagens de humano mostram o NOME do atendente (por mensagem), em vez de um “ Atendente” generico — no widget do visitante e no painel “Conversas”. Cada mensagem guarda quem a enviou, criando um historico de quem disse o que. #### 3.6.13 * Balao de chamada no icone: o “Titulo de boas-vindas” passa a ser o texto de um balao que aparece junto ao icone do chat para chamar a atencao do visitante( aparece apos alguns segundos, dispensavel, abre o chat ao clicar). * A “Mensagem de boas-vindas” passa a ser a primeira mensagem dentro do chat e o campo aceita varias linhas (multi-linha). #### 3.6.12 * Lead capture: the name-extraction fallback used to require a capitalised first letter (“Thiago Vaz” yes, “thiago vaz” no), so any visitor who self-introduced in lowercase ended up with their name lost. The token regex now accepts mixed case and the saved value is normalised to Title Case before persisting. * Lead capture: extended the column allow-list (`name`, `email`, phone, `company`) to also accept the Portuguese equivalents (`nome`, `telefone`, `telemovel`, ` tel`, `empresa`). Without this, an agent created with a phone field labeled “ telefone” (which sanitize_dynamic_list slugifies into key=”telefone”) wrote the visitor’s phone number into the `lead_data` JSON blob instead of the dedicated column, so the admin UI displayed “Lead: email” with no phone visible. #### 3.6.11 * Admin conversations viewer no longer yanks the scrollbar around on every 2-second poll. The messages panel now preserves the admin’s scroll position when they have scrolled away from the most recent message, and only auto-pins to the bottom when they were already at the bottom (within 60px). The conversation list on the left also keeps its scroll position across the 10-second list refresh instead of resetting to the top. #### 3.6.10 * Live-chat handoff: the conversations table gains a new column handoff_owner_device_id( VARCHAR(64), nullable). When the optional Pro addon’s mobile app takes over a conversation, it stamps the acting device’s UUID here so other mobile devices know to lock the conversation UI. Adding the column lifts the DB schema version to 3.1 — dbDelta runs on the next admin load. * Live-chat handoff: when a visitor sends a message while handoff_active=1, the API handler now fires a new handoff_visitor_message event on `global_ai_chat_notify`. The Pro addon’s push relay routes this event to the single owning device (no fan-out), so the human attendant gets a direct push without spamming every other paired phone. #### 3.6.9 * Lead capture safety-net now also notifies. When the LLM forgets to call `save_lead_info` and the visitor’s message has an email/phone, the safety net in `class-api-handler. php` was persisting the lead silently — it now also fires the `global_ai_chat_notify` action so push, email and webhook integrations on the Pro side hear about these captures (previously only AI-tool-call captures triggered notifications). * Agents admin: the Leads tab now delegates extra-field collection to add-ons via the `growthai:collect-agent-fields` event. The previous Save handler only persisted `lead_enabled` + `lead_fields`, silently dropping every extra Pro field rendered in that tab (push triggers, email summary toggle/recipient/triggers). #### 3.6.8 * Lead notifications: the `lead_info_collected` action now also fires the first time a conversation captures any lead field (not only when every required field is filled). This lets the optional Pro mobile app / webhooks notify the admin as soon as a visitor becomes identifiable, even when the agent’s `lead_fields` list demands more keys than the visitor has provided so far. Strict completion still fires the action as before. #### 3.6.7 * Internationalization: the admin and widget UI is now translatable, with bundled translations for English (en_US), Spanish (es_ES) and European Portuguese (pt_PT). Added `load_plugin_textdomain()` so the shipped `/languages` files load, and a `global-ai-chat.pot` template for further translations. #### 3.6.6 * Plugin Check pass: `Tested up to` bumped to 7.0, and the legacy-table migration in `includes/class-agent.php` now interpolates `{$wpdb->prefix}growthai_agents` directly into the query string (the trusted `$wpdb->prefix` property concatenated with a hardcoded suffix) instead of going through an intermediate variable that the Plugin Check static analyser flagged. #### 3.6.5 * Security/escaping pass. The `[growthai_chat]` shortcode now builds its wrapper attributes through a strict allow-list (third-party filters must return an associative array of `data-*` names; values are escaped with `esc_attr()`) and its return value is wrapped with `wp_kses_post()` before output. Every builder render callback( Gutenberg block, WPBakery element, Elementor widget, Divi/Beaver modules) runs its `do_shortcode()` return value through `wp_kses_post()`. WPBakery/Divi `do_action(' global_ai_chat_shortcode_disabled')` capture buffers are also passed through ` wp_kses_post()` before return. #### 3.6.4 * Free is now a single-agent plugin — the `growthai_agents` table, multi-agent CRUD APIs (`create`, `delete`, `duplicate`, `count`, `max_allowed`, `can_create`), the `agent_id=new` admin flow and the agent-id REST routing have all been removed. The agent configuration lives in `wp_options['growthai_agent']`. * Page-builder integrations (Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery) and the `[growthai_chat]` shortcode no longer expose an “agent” parameter — there is only one agent to render. * New resolve filters (`global_ai_chat_resolve_agent_by_id`, `_by_slug`, `_all_agents`,` pre_update_agent`, `resolve_request_agent`) let an external add-on (sold separately, not hosted here) layer a multi-agent system on top without Free needing any knowledge of it. * Upgrade path: on first load, the first row of any legacy `growthai_agents` table is copied into the new wp_option so previously-configured installs keep their settings; the table itself is left untouched. #### 3.6.3 * Removed every code path in the free plugin that branched on whether the optional add-on was installed: deleted `GrowthAI_Extensions::is_pro_active()`, `plan()`,` plan_name()`; dropped the related filters; collapsed `if (is_pro_active()) { ...}` blocks in admin/agents/api code so a single, unconditional path renders. * Renamed the `global_ai_chat_render_license_panel` hook to the neutral `global_ai_chat_render_above_api_key`; the promotional banner is now controlled by the standalone `global_ai_chat_show_pro_banner` filter that defaults to true. * Model dropdown decoration moved to `global_ai_chat_model_dropdown_label` so extensions can append price multipliers without touching plugin code. * Submenu highlight is now filterable through `global_ai_chat_agent_submenu_highlight` instead of branching on add-on presence. #### 3.6.2 * Trialware cleanup: removed all Pro-only marketplace JS that previously shipped in the free plugin (plan-comparison table, “Adquirir” buttons, license activation, content sync, prompt generator wizard, platform-key toggle, webhook test, Google Calendar disconnect). * Stripped Pro-only branches from `admin/js/admin-script.js` (from 1130 to 330 lines) and `admin/js/agents.js`; Pro now injects its own JS for the features it ships. * Removed dead Pro UI strings (`Atendimento ativo` badge, license-tab callouts, platform-quota notices) from `class-admin-settings.php` and `admin/js/conversations. js`. * Document upload now uses the built-in Free vector store class (`GrowthAI_Vector_Store_Free`) which calls `api.openai.com` directly with the customer’s key — no Pro addon required. #### 3.6.1 * Security: knowledge-base uploads now validated server-side via `wp_check_filetype_and_ext` and `is_uploaded_file`; preset icon paths sanitised against traversal and run through `wp_kses` before output. * wp.org compliance: removed all remaining Pro placeholder strings, sales CTAs, and license-tab links from builder integrations (Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery). * i18n: every admin and visitor-facing string now uses the `global-ai-chat` text domain. * Admin: outdated-content notice gated behind `content_sync` Pro feature so Free skips the query entirely; tab redirects whitelisted; brand strings renamed to“ Global AI Chat”. * Cleanup: removed orphan `class-smtp.php`, `analytics.js`, `meta-box.js`; widget footer simplified to passive `Powered by Global AI Chat` attribution. #### 3.6.0 * External services: free plugin now only contacts `api.openai.com`. All optional SaaS endpoints moved to the Pro addon. * Knowledge base: built-in vector store handler in Free — uploads documents directly to OpenAI with your own key, no proxy. * Security: preset chat icons are now path-sanitised and run through `wp_kses` before rendering; visitor session tokens use `window.crypto.getRandomValues` ( Math.random fallback only on legacy browsers). * Admin: removed all “(Pro)” placeholder options, sales upsell sidebars, account- registration card, prompt marketplace and ads endpoint. One info-only Pro banner remains on the Geral tab. * i18n: all admin and visitor-facing strings wrapped in translation functions (` global-ai-chat` text domain). * `Domain Path: /languages` header added. #### 3.5.0 * GDPR cookies tab: full catalog of cookies/localStorage entries listed in admin and shown to visitors before any data is written. * Anti-hallucination grounding rule baked into every system prompt. * Server-side name regex fallback when the AI omits the lead name in a tool call. #### 3.4.0 * Renamed plugin to “Global AI Chat” (slug: `global-ai-chat`). * Free plugin works entirely without a license — chat calls OpenAI directly with your key. * Single-agent admin in Free. Multi-agent management, live chat handoff, Google Calendar booking, outbound webhooks, page/post auto-sync, AI prompt generator, mobile app, managed tokens, auto-updates and analytics all ship in the separate Pro addon at https://globalai.software/. * Free’s knowledge base now ships only document upload (PDF/DOCX/TXT). Page/post auto-sync moved to Pro. * New extension-point API (`GrowthAI_Extensions`) lets Pro hook cleanly into Free. * New Geral tab with OpenAI API key management + opt-in uninstall data deletion toggle. * sanitize_api_key preserves raw bytes instead of applying sanitize_text_field ( would strip valid key characters). #### 3.3.x * Typing indicator across plugin web, widget, and mobile app; scroll-to-bottom on open; non-destructive “switch agent” button in multi-agent widget; license rotation + refresh token rotation on the mobile app; nonce + rate-limit on public- facing ajax endpoints. #### 3.0.0 * Multi-agent: each agent has its own prompt, docs, lead fields and triggers. #### 2.0.0 * Multi-agent foundation. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **3.6.17** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/global-ai-chat/) * Tags * [AI](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/)[assistant](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/assistant/) [chat](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/chat/)[chatbot](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/chatbot/) [openai](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/openai/) * [Advanced View](https://kea.wordpress.org/plugins/global-ai-chat/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
