## Description

Maca Tjatt adds a floating chat widget or inline shortcode to your site. Visitors
can ask questions and get answers based on your website content.

 * Uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (no plugin-managed API keys)
 * Local search index — relevant website snippets are matched and sent with each
   question
 * Index pages, posts, and custom knowledge text
 * Floating widget or `[maca_tjatt]` shortcode

Source code: https://github.com/maca59/maca-tjatt

### External services

This plugin uses the WordPress AI Client introduced in WordPress 7.0. AI requests
are routed through WordPress to whichever provider the site administrator has configured
under **Settings  Connectors** (for example the official AI Provider for OpenAI,
Anthropic, or Google plugins).

No AI data is sent unless the chat is enabled and a visitor or administrator asks
a question, or when an administrator builds the local search index.

#### AI providers (via WordPress Connectors)

Used when an administrator or visitor sends a chat question: the visitor question,
a short chat history (last few turns), and relevant indexed text snippets as context
are sent through the WordPress AI Client to the configured provider.

Data sent when an administrator builds the search index: website content is stored
locally in a custom database table on your site. Indexing does not call an external
AI service.

The exact provider, terms, and privacy policy depend on which AI provider plugin
the site owner installs and connects. Common official options include OpenAI, Anthropic,
and Google.

## FAQ

### Who pays for AI usage?

The site owner configures and pays for their chosen AI provider through WordPress
Connectors. This plugin does not include or bill for AI access.

No. Questions are processed in real time and not saved to the database. Only the
search index (website content chunks) is stored locally.

### What content is indexed?

Site name and tagline, optional custom knowledge text, published pages, posts, categories,
tags, public custom post types, and optionally selected pages.

### What WordPress version is required?

WordPress 7.0 or newer, with the built-in AI Client and at least one connected AI
provider.
