It embeds a sleek, floating chat bubble on your website. When a user asks a question, Shihela Contextual Site Assistant extracts context from the current page (e.g., page title, content snippets) and uses the native WordPress 7.0+ AI Client to provide accurate, contextually relevant answers.<\/p>\n\n<p>Because it utilizes the native WordPress AI Client, credentials and model configurations are managed globally at the site level under Settings \u2192 Connectors. This ensures maximum security and allows site administrators to change providers seamlessly without editing plugin options.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin also automatically captures leads when visitors leave their contact information (such as name, email, or requirements), saves them securely in your database, and sends email notifications.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Context-Aware Responses:<\/strong> Automatically reads page contents to answer questions in context.<\/li>\n<li><strong>WordPress Native AI Client:<\/strong> Fully integrated with the native WordPress 7.0+ AI Client API.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provider Agnostic:<\/strong> Out-of-the-box support for any LLM provider configured in your WordPress dashboard (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lead Capture &amp; Management:<\/strong> Automatically parses and saves customer inquiries in the WordPress database and notifies administrators.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom Positioning &amp; Styling:<\/strong> Set widget position (bottom-right, bottom-left, top-right, top-left) and customize branding colors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Premium Design:<\/strong> Sleek layout featuring glassmorphic effects, responsive styles, typing animation loaders, and chat session histories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rate Limiting:<\/strong> Built-in server-side IP rate limiting protecting your server and API limits from bot abuse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Third-Party Services &amp; Data Privacy Notice<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin utilizes the native WordPress AI Client to communicate with generative AI models. Depending on your WordPress Core Connectors configuration, user queries and current page text context are transmitted via secure HTTPS API requests to the configured AI provider.
