Description

PointerDev AI Chat provides:

Admin settings page under Settings > PointerDev AI Chat
Frontend shortcode [pointerdevai_chat] that loads the widget bundle
Guest mode and login-required mode support
Server-side end-user token mint endpoint for logged-in WordPress users
Runtime session token lifecycle support for server-side AJAX proxy flows (exchange, refresh, revoke)

The widget JavaScript is bundled locally with this plugin. No JavaScript, CSS, or image assets are loaded from a CDN.

External Service

This plugin connects your WordPress site to the PointerDev AI service. A PointerDev AI account, project ID, publishable key, and, for login-required mode, secret key are required.

When visitors use the chat widget, the plugin sends chat messages, project credentials, anonymous visitor identifiers or logged-in user token data, and configured metadata to the API Base URL saved in Settings > PointerDev AI Chat. The default service endpoint is https://pointerdev.ai/, but site administrators may configure their own PointerDev AI API base URL.

Service provider: PointerDev AI
Service URL: https://pointerdev.ai/
Privacy policy: https://pointerdev.ai/privacy-policy

FAQ

How does login_required mode work?

When auth_mode is end_user (or auto with logged-in users), plugin mints end-user tokens server-side using your stored secret key and feeds them to the widget.

Primary filter pointerdevai_end_user_token can override the generated token.
Legacy filter pointerai_end_user_token is still available for custom overrides.
When this filter returns a token, it overrides built-in token minting for widget auth.
The same server-side minting path is used by the plugin AJAX proxy when needed.

Default sub derivation is multisite-aware (blog_id:user_id). If you need Laravel-style parity (user_id only), use filter pointerdevai_end_user_subject_seed.
Legacy filter pointerai_end_user_subject_seed still works.

Can I use this for anonymous chat?

Yes. Set auth mode to anonymous or auto.
