Description
AutoChat adds an AI-powered chat assistant to WordPress with a local knowledge base, optional Pinecone sync, analytics, and a customizable frontend widget.
The plugin is designed to work without Pinecone. Internal content, external sources, uploaded resources, and manual knowledge-base entries are indexed locally first. If Pinecone is enabled and synced, AutoChat can use Pinecone retrieval as an additional source instead of becoming dependent on it.
Use AutoChat to:
- answer common visitor questions automatically
- build a chat knowledge base from multiple data sources
- keep a local retrieval path active even when Pinecone is disabled
- review conversation volume and estimated token usage in the dashboard
- configure assistant language and widget presentation from wp-admin
