## Description

**A knowledge base your AI can’t stray from. Human in the loop, every time.**

Most AI generates a fresh answer every time someone asks a question. That’s where
hallucination comes from: the AI invents a plausible-sounding reply that may be 
wrong. Truebe works differently. You upload your documents, Truebe builds them into
an approved knowledge base, and a visitor only ever sees an answer someone on your
team has already reviewed. There’s no live AI generation at question time, so nothing
can be invented.

**How it works**

 1. Connect your AI key (see “What you need” below).
 2. Upload a PDF or Word (.docx) document, or point Truebe at a live webpage. Truebe
    reads it and drafts question-and-answer pairs.
 3. Review each pair in your Fact Library and approve the ones you want live. Each 
    pair shows a confidence score and its source citation before you approve it, and
    a near-duplicate check stops conflicting answers from both going live.
 4. Add the chatbot to any page with the [truebe_chat] shortcode.

When a visitor asks something, Truebe matches their question to your approved answers
and shows the closest one. If a question isn’t answered, it’s logged so it can be
anwered the next time.

**Why this matters now**

Regulators are moving on AI-generated communication with customers and clients. 
An approved answer with a timestamped audit trail, tracing to the document and person
who approved it, is always tracked.

**Do more, with a voice people already trust**

Once your knowledge base is built, Truebe can carry out real front-line work: answering
the same questions customers are always asking, routing appointments, catching intake
before it reaches a human. It’s not a bot improvising a personality. It’s your own
approved answers, in your own words, available around the clock.

**Every answer shows its source**

For each answer built from a document, Truebe records exactly where it came from:
the file, the section, and the page. You can open the source document straight to
the cited page while you review.

**Every approval is logged**

Every answer you approve is timestamped and recorded in an audit log, with who approved
it and when. You can export this log any time for compliance review, insurance, 
or an audit.

**It gets smarter every day**

When a visitor asks something your chatbot cannot answer, Truebe logs the question
instead of losing it. Near-identical questions are grouped, so you see “11 people
asked something like this” rather than eleven separate lines. Each unanswered question
becomes a one-click item on your Unanswered list: answer it once, approve it, and
the next visitor who asks gets a real answer.

**Beyond the chat widget**

When nothing matches, a visitor can be routed to a human, straight to your booking
page, phone line, or login, instead of hitting a dead end. Voice input lets visitors
ask by speaking instead of typing, and returning visitors pick up their conversation
where they left off. Emails and phone numbers in an answer become clickable automatically.

**What you need**

Truebe uses your own AI account to read your documents and draft answers. You provide
an API key from either OpenAI (ChatGPT) or Anthropic (Claude), or, on WordPress 
7.0 and later, Truebe can use a provider you’ve already connected through WordPress’s
own AI Connectors settings. The plugin includes a step-by-step guide that walks 
you through creating an account, adding credits, and copying your key. It takes 
about five minutes. The AI provider charges you directly per use (usually pennies).

Your key is used only to read your uploaded documents and draft answers. There is
no live AI call when a visitor asks a question.

**Free plan**

Every core feature works with no payment required and no limits: document processing,
answer approval, editing, source citations, the audit log and its export, the unanswered
questions list, the chatbot, and all customization.

Truebe.io is an optional account service for plan upgrades and support. Connecting
it is never required to use the core plugin’s features.

**Where your data lives**

Your approved questions and answers are stored in your own WordPress database, on
your own server. When you upload a document, it is read once by your chosen AI provider
to draft answers, then deleted. Truebe does not keep your documents or your answers.

You are responsible for the content you upload and approve. Please do not upload
documents containing private or personal data.

**Customize the chatbot**

Set the header label, greeting, and colors for visitor messages, bot messages, and
the fallback card. Choose a width, turn voice input on or off, and decide whether
to suggest related questions when there is no exact match. A live preview shows 
your changes as you make them.

### External services

This plugin connects to external services. Here is what is sent, when, and why.

#### Your AI provider (OpenAI or Anthropic)

You choose one provider and supply your own API key, or use one already connected
via WordPress 7.0+ AI Connectors. When you upload a document, its text is sent to
that provider to draft question-and-answer pairs. This happens only during document
processing. No data is sent to the AI provider when a visitor asks a question. The
provider bills your account directly.

openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
 Anthropic: Commercial Terms https://www.anthropic.
com/legal/commercial-terms — Privacy Policy https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

#### Truebe.io

Truebe.io is the account service that manages your Truebe subscription and sets 
your document allowance. The plugin is fully usable without connecting an account.

The plugin contacts truebe.io in these cases:

 * When you activate the plugin, it sends your site URL to truebe.io once, so we
   know the plugin is in use.
 * When you click “Start your subscription,” you are redirected to truebe.io to 
   sign in. Your site URL is included so you can be returned to your dashboard.
 * After connecting, the plugin exchanges a one-time token with truebe.io. Your 
   site URL is sent to complete the connection.
 * Once per day, if connected, the plugin checks in with truebe.io. It sends your
   permission token, your site URL, and the plugin version.
 * If you send a message from the Support tab, your message, your site URL, and 
   the plugin version are sent to truebe.io. Your email address is included only
   if you choose to provide one.

No document text, questions, answers, or visitor data is ever sent to truebe.io.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Go to Truebe and open Settings.
 3. Choose your AI provider (Claude or ChatGPT) and enter your API key, or connect 
    one through WordPress’s own AI Connectors if you’re on WordPress 7.0+.
 4. Open Upload Document and upload a PDF or Word (.docx) document, or crawl a URL.
 5. Open the Fact Library, review the drafted answers and their confidence scores, 
    and approve the ones you want live.
 6. Add [truebe_chat] to any page or post to display the chatbot.

## FAQ

### Can I restrict the chatbot to answer only from my own content?

Yes, completely. Truebe never uses a live AI model to answer a visitor, so there
is no built-in model knowledge that can leak in. Visitors only ever see answers 
you approved from your own documents. Answering with anything else is not possible.

### Do I need my own AI key?

Yes, unless you’re on WordPress 7.0+ and already have a provider connected through
WordPress’s own AI Connectors settings. Otherwise, Truebe uses your own OpenAI (
ChatGPT) or Anthropic (Claude) account to read your documents and draft answers.
The plugin includes a guided walkthrough to help you create an account and get a
key. The AI provider bills you directly, usually a few cents per document.

### Is Truebe free?

The core plugin is free: document processing, answer approval and editing, source
citations, the audit log and its export, the unanswered questions list, the chatbot,
and all customization work with no payment required. Visitor thumbs up/down ratings
require the Pro plan. Document allowances are set by the Truebe.io account service:
a free account includes 5 documents, a $49/month Pro subscription includes 25, and
extra 25-document packs are $20 each. You supply your own AI provider key either
way, and the provider bills you directly for the processing.

### Does the chatbot use AI to answer visitors?

No. The AI is used once, when you build answers from a document. At question time,
Truebe matches the visitor’s question to answers you already approved and shows 
the closest one. There is no live AI generation, so it cannot make anything up.

### What happens if a visitor asks something with no answer?

Truebe can show related approved questions instead of a dead end, offer a handoff
to a human, or simply say it does not have an answer for that yet. You control this
in Settings.

### Where are my answers stored?

In your own WordPress database, on your own server. Truebe does not store your documents
or your approved answers.

### What happens to a document after I upload it?

It is read once by your chosen AI provider to draft answers, then deleted.

### Can I edit the answers?

Yes. Every drafted answer is editable before and after you approve it. You decide
the exact wording a visitor sees.

### What file types can I upload?

PDF documents and Word (.docx) documents. You can also point Truebe at a live webpage
URL instead of uploading a file.

### How do I add the chatbot to my site?

Add the [truebe_chat] shortcode to any page or post.
