## Description

ChatMaxima AI Chatbot puts a chatbot on your WordPress site that answers questions
from your own content. A guided setup takes about five minutes and never leaves 
WordPress:

 1. **Connect** – Sign in to ChatMaxima, or create a free account right in the plugin.
 2. **Knowledge** – Choose which posts, pages and other content types to sync. The 
    plugin copies them into a ChatMaxima knowledge source in small batches, with progress
    shown as it goes.
 3. **Chatbot** – Give the bot a name, an avatar, a role (support, sales, booking, 
    or your own words), a tone, a welcome message and any extra rules. Try sample questions
    and see how it answers before anyone else does. MaxIA V4 is included at no cost;
    you can also use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or Groq key.
 4. **Install** – Preview the real chat widget in the admin, then switch it on for 
    visitors when you are ready.

After setup, the plugin’s Home page shows the connection, knowledge source, chatbot
and widget at a glance, each editable in place.

#### Features

 * **Guided setup** – Four steps with progress saved, so you can leave and come 
   back
 * **Free account from the plugin** – 1,000 messages a month and the MaxIA V4 AI
   model, no API key needed
 * **Content sync** – Published, public posts and pages only; drafts, private and
   password-protected content are never sent
 * **Auto Sync** – New and updated posts are added to the knowledge source when 
   published, and removed when trashed
 * **Per-post control** – A sync box in the editor shows status and lets you exclude
   a post
 * **Bulk sync** – Sync selected posts from the Posts list
 * **Chatbot persona** – Name, avatar, role, tone, welcome message and extra instructions
 * **Live preview** – Ask the chatbot sample questions while you set it up
 * **Your own AI key** – OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or Groq, checked before
   it is saved and kept in your ChatMaxima workspace, never in WordPress
 * **One switch to go live** – The widget shows to visitors only when you turn it
   on
 * **Multisite ready** – Each site connects on its own

#### Requirements

 * A ChatMaxima account (one can be created during setup)
 * WordPress 5.0 or higher
 * PHP 7.4 or higher

### External Services

This plugin connects to ChatMaxima, a third-party AI chatbot and customer messaging
service, to provide its core functionality. A ChatMaxima account is required.

The plugin communicates with ChatMaxima in the following ways:

 * **Chatbot widget:** On pages where the widget is enabled, the plugin loads the
   ChatMaxima widget script from https://widget.chatmaxima.com/embed.min.js so the
   chatbot can render for your visitors.
 * **Account authentication:** When you connect the plugin, your ChatMaxima login
   credentials are sent to the ChatMaxima API to obtain an access token. Only the
   resulting token is stored in your WordPress database.
 * **Content sync:** When you sync content, the URLs of the published, public WordPress
   posts and pages you choose are sent to the ChatMaxima API, which reads those 
   pages so they can be indexed into your selected knowledge source for AI training.
 * **Chatbot setup:** The chatbot name, avatar image, role, tone, welcome message
   and instructions you enter, and any AI provider API key you choose to add, are
   sent to the ChatMaxima API and stored in your ChatMaxima workspace. Keys are 
   never stored in WordPress.
 * **Account creation:** If you create an account from the plugin, the name, email
   address and password you enter and your site’s title are sent to the ChatMaxima
   API. ChatMaxima emails a code to confirm the address.

Data is sent to ChatMaxima only when you connect the plugin, sync content, or serve
the widget. The plugin itself does not collect personal data from your site visitors.

## FAQ

### Do I need a ChatMaxima account?

Yes. You can create a free one during setup without leaving WordPress. The free 
plan includes 1,000 messages a month and the MaxIA V4 AI model.

### Do I need an AI API key?

No. MaxIA V4 is included with your ChatMaxima account. You only need a key if you
prefer a model from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Groq, and that company then bills
you for each reply. A key you add is checked with the provider first and stored 
in your ChatMaxima workspace, never in WordPress.

### What is a knowledge source?

A knowledge source is where your content is stored and indexed for AI training. 
When you sync your WordPress posts, they are added to the knowledge source so the
AI chatbot can answer questions about your content.

### How does content sync work?

The plugin sends the addresses of your published, public posts and pages to ChatMaxima’s
API. ChatMaxima then reads those pages into your knowledge source. Drafts, private
posts and password-protected posts are never sent.

### Can I customize the chatbot appearance?

The name, avatar and welcome message are set in the plugin. Colours, position and
the rest of the widget’s look are changed in the ChatMaxima dashboard.

### Where do the chats go?

To the ChatMaxima inbox, under the web channel the plugin sets up for your site.
A person on your team can take over any chat from there.

### Will this slow down my website?

No, the plugin uses lightweight JavaScript that loads asynchronously. Content syncing
happens via AJAX in the admin area and won’t affect frontend performance.

### Can I exclude certain posts from syncing?

Yes, each post has a “ChatMaxima Sync” meta box where you can check “Exclude from
sync” to prevent that post from being synced.

### Does auto-sync work with custom post types?

Yes, you can select which post types to sync in the settings. Auto-sync will work
for all selected post types.
