Description

HiFiBots AI Agents connects your site to your HiFiBots account at wp.hifibots.com. HiFiBots is the company behind the HiFi-WP product line.

From Augmentable LLC:

Publish AI-written posts and pages straight to your site
Auto-create the custom post types your content needs (works with ACF)
Edit any page directly on the front end with the Riverstep inline editor
Add a chatbot that answers from your own content — as an on-page bubble or via a hosted AI agent
Hands-off affiliate link handling

This plugin requires a HiFi-WP account and a user-level API key from the HiFi-WP dashboard at wp.hifibots.com/downloads.

External Services

This plugin connects to HiFi-WP / HiFiBots services operated by Augmentable LLC. A HiFi-WP account is required for most features.

Service URLs

API: https://wordpressgpt-api-325927718367.us-central1.run.app
Web app (chat widget, SSO, AI agent): https://wp.hifibots.com

What is sent, when, and why

Connection check (admin settings): your saved API key and Site ID are sent to the API to verify that the account and site are valid and reachable. All plugin settings remain fully accessible regardless of the result.
AI publishing & REST tools (when agents post or update content): post content, titles, meta, custom post types, ACF field values, and site identifiers — so content can be created or updated on your site.
Riverstep inline editor (when a logged-in user runs an AI edit): the selected content fragment, editing instruction, and optional read-only context (article title, meta description, neighboring sections) — so the AI can rewrite in place.
Onsite chatbot (when enabled and a visitor opens chat): Site ID, site URL, page URL, page title, and chat messages — so the chatbot can answer using your indexed content.
Offsite AI agent / SSO launcher (when enabled): Site ID, site URL, and launch context — so visitors can open your hosted AI agent at wp.hifibots.com.
Instant chatbot indexing (RAG) (when content changes on watched post types): post ID, post type, title, URL, and change event metadata — so the chatbot knowledge base stays up to date.
CTA email-capture forms (when a visitor submits an inline form): email address and CTA/campaign identifiers — proxied server-side with your API key (the key is never exposed to visitors).
Outbound click analytics (public front-end, opt-in and OFF by default): only sent if you explicitly enable “Outbound Click Analytics” in the settings. When enabled, the Site ID, site URL, and anonymous click metadata for tagged monetization links are sent to the performance dashboard. Only the public Site ID is used in the browser; the API key is not exposed to visitors.
Affiliate redirect clicks (/go/{slug}): click metadata is reported server-side when cloaked links are followed.

Terms & privacy

No data is sent to these services until you configure an API key (and Site ID where required) and enable a feature. Outbound click analytics is off by default and only runs if you explicitly enable it.

Privacy

This plugin stores your HiFi-WP API key and Site ID in the WordPress options table on your server. Content and visitor interactions are transmitted to HiFi-WP services only as described in External Services above, when the corresponding feature is enabled.

For full details on how Augmentable LLC handles personal data, see the HiFi-WP privacy policy.

Installation

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Deactivate older HiFi-WP Publisher and HiFi-WP Chat SSO plugins if they are installed.
Activate HiFiBots AI Agents.
Open Settings HiFi-WP.
Enter your HiFi-WP API key and Site ID, then click Save Changes. The connection is verified automatically; use Test Connection to re-check at any time.

FAQ

Do I need to click Test Connection?: No. After you save your API key and Site ID, the plugin checks the connection automatically (at most once every 6 hours). Test Connection is optional and forces an immediate re-check.
Should I keep the old plugins active?: No. V3 is intended to replace the older Publisher and Chat SSO plugins. Deactivate old HiFi-WP plugins before using V3 runtime features.
Does the plugin track my visitors?: No, not unless you ask it to. Outbound click analytics is opt-in and OFF by default. Nothing about visitor clicks is sent anywhere unless you explicitly enable “Outbound Click Analytics” in the settings.
Does this plugin work without a HiFi-WP account?: The plugin installs and all of its settings are fully accessible, but the features that depend on the external HiFiBots service — AI publishing, the inline editor AI assist, the chatbot, and content indexing — need an active HiFi-WP account and API key from wp.hifibots.com to do their work. Nothing in the plugin is locked or disabled locally.

Changelog

3.0.5

Fixed missing JavaScript and CSS runtime assets in the downloadable plugin.

3.0.4

Unified every internal identifier (functions, defines, options, transients, AJAX actions, script/style handles) under the single plugin-distinct hifibots_ prefix, matching the public [hifibots_chat] shortcode.
Removed the Custom Post Type UI integration. Custom post types are now created inside ACF’s own store (via acf_update_post_type) so they appear in and are managed from the ACF Post Types dashboard, and work with the free version of ACF. Sites without ACF fall back to native registration.
Removed pre-release legacy option migration code paths.
Uninstall now removes every option, transient, and scheduled event the plugin creates.
Connection settings fields no longer trigger browser password-manager autofill, which could overwrite the API key and Site ID with the site’s WordPress login on save.

3.0.3

Updated API key field help text: documents hifi_ prefix keys.

3.0.2

Hardened naming uniqueness for WordPress.org best practices: the admin settings page slug is now hifibots-ai-agents (was hifi-wp).
Settings migration now reads only the plugin’s own prefixed option names; removed a legacy reserved-prefix (wp_) option fallback.

3.0.1

Floating chat widget: unified panel chrome with TPS report chat (S/M/L size presets, drag resize, full-width input).
Floating widget iframe now owns the panel header; removed duplicate blue WP header bar.
Panel size persists across page loads; resize messages from the iframe update the outer panel dimensions.
Accent color and title from plugin settings are passed into the iframe on launch.
Content sync now also queues posts that match selected categories/tags, not only selected post types, so tagged content reaches the chatbot index promptly.
“Categories & Tags” diagnostics now list the actual selected term names instead of just a count.
Moved Outbound Click Analytics to the Connection Settings tab where it belongs.
Removed an unnecessary set_time_limit() call (HTTP request already has its own timeout).

3.0.0

First public release of the unified HiFiBots AI Agents plugin.
Unified settings screen: Connection, Custom Post Type Plugin, Riverstep Inline Editor, Chatbot & AI Agent.
Riverstep inline front-end editor with AI-assisted, block-accurate edits.
Onsite chatbot bubble and offsite/hosted AI agent launcher shortcode ([hifibots_chat]).
Automatic custom post type and ACF field group creation, AI content publishing, and instant content indexing — all powered by your HiFiBots account.
All settings and features are fully accessible locally; features that rely on the external HiFiBots service simply require a valid account and API key to operate.
Outbound click analytics is opt-in and OFF by default.
Automatic connection verification on the settings screen (Test Connection optional).
