Description
LearnHub Chat Assistant with OpenAI lets you add a fully configurable AI chat assistant to your WordPress website using your own OpenAI API key.
Configure the assistant’s instructions, welcome message, appearance and placement directly from the WordPress admin settings page.
This plugin is developed by LearnHub ApS and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI.
OpenAI usage is not included. You must use your own OpenAI API key and pay OpenAI directly for usage.
A separate Pro version with additional features is available from LearnHub ApS outside WordPress.org. This WordPress.org version is a fully functional single-assistant plugin.
Shortcode
[lhca_chatbot]
Add this shortcode to any page or post to display the chat assistant.
External services
This plugin connects to the OpenAI API when a visitor sends a message to the chat assistant.
What data is sent to OpenAI:
* The visitor’s chat message
* The configured assistant instruction (system prompt)
* Optional conversation context (page title and URL, if enabled)
* Optional conversation history (previous turns, if enabled)
The site owner must provide their own OpenAI API key. The API key is stored in the WordPress database and is only accessible to authorized administrators. It is never exposed on the public frontend.
OpenAI usage is billed directly by OpenAI based on the site owner’s API key.
- OpenAI Terms of Use: https://openai.com/policies/
- OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
If OpenAI tools such as web search, file search or code interpreter are enabled by the site owner, visitor messages and assistant configuration may also be processed by OpenAI as part of those tool calls.
Optional Webhook Integration
The plugin includes an optional webhook feature. If you explicitly enable and configure a webhook URL in the settings, the plugin can send chat history (including user messages and AI responses) to that URL when specific trigger words are used or when the chat is closed. This feature is disabled by default. The site owner is responsible for any third-party data processing at the configured webhook URL.
Privacy
This plugin does not collect or store personal data about visitors beyond what is necessary for the chat session. Chat messages are sent to OpenAI’s API for processing. The site owner is responsible for informing visitors about this data transfer in their privacy policy.
