Make your store visible to AI.
EcomAIBridge connects your WooCommerce store to AI agents, chatbots, and LLM crawlers. Make your products visible to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI tools — and add a built-in AI shopping assistant to your storefront.
Right now, customers are shopping through AI. They ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for product recommendations and buy without ever visiting your store directly. If your store isn’t connected to AI agents through a REST API or chat widget, you’re invisible to them.
<h4>What this plugin does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Structured Product API — Clean, paginated, filterable JSON endpoints (<code>/ecomaibridge/ai/products.json</code>, <code>/ai/categories.json</code>, etc.) that any AI agent or app can call directly.</li>
<li>AI Discovery Manifest — A <code>/.well-known/ai-bridge.json</code> file that describes your store’s endpoints so AI crawlers can auto-discover what’s available.</li>
<li>Built-in AI Chat Widget — A floating shopping assistant for your storefront. Connects to Groq (free tier) out of the box, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via the Custom provider option.</li>
<li>7-Day Activity Analytics — Lightweight, transient-backed analytics tab showing requests, top searches, missed-opportunity queries, and provider rate-limit hits.</li>
</ul>
A separate Pro Add-on plugin is available from ecomaibridge.com.
<h4>Built Natively for WooCommerce</h4>
Install from the WordPress plugin directory like any plugin, activate, and your product API is live instantly. Everything lives inside your WordPress admin — Overview, AI Chat Widget, Analytics, About.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin can connect to one external LLM service of your choice (Groq by default, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via the Custom provider option). It is documented below so you understand exactly what data leaves your site, when, and to whom. The plugin sends no analytics or telemetry, and does not perform any background “phone home” requests for license checks, version pings, or usage tracking.
Groq AI Inference API — required only if you enable the chat widget and use the default Groq provider.
<ul>
<li>Endpoint: <code>https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions</code></li>
<li>Purpose: Generate AI chat responses for the storefront chat widget.</li>
<li>When called: Each time a visitor sends a message through the chat widget. No request is made if the chat widget is disabled.</li>
<li>Data sent: The visitor’s chat message, conversation history for the current session, and a system prompt describing your store. No personally identifiable customer information (name, email, address, payment data) is sent.</li>
<li>Authentication: The Groq API key you provide in plugin settings, stored only in your WordPress database and transmitted only as a Bearer token to Groq.</li>
<li>Required: You must obtain your own free Groq API key at https://console.groq.com.</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://groq.com/terms-of-use/</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://groq.com/privacy-policy/</li>
</ul>
Custom OpenAI-compatible provider — only when you set the provider to “Custom” in admin and configure your own base URL.
<ul>
<li>Endpoint: whatever URL you enter in plugin settings.</li>
<li>Purpose, data sent, authentication: same as the Groq behaviour above, but routed to the endpoint you configured. Refer to your chosen provider’s terms and privacy documentation.</li>
</ul>

Markdown for AI Agents is a lightweight WordPress plugin that enables HTTP content negotiation for your site’s content. When a client (like an AI agent or a custom script) requests a page with the <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> header, the plugin intercepts the request and returns a clean, structured Markdown representation of the post or page content.
This is ideal for AI crawlers, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, and non-browser clients that prefer machine-friendly text over complex HTML.
Important note: This plugin is primarily a developer/integration tool. Human visitors browsing your site will never see any difference — the Markdown output is only served when explicitly requested via the <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> HTTP header. Normal browser requests always receive the standard HTML page.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatically detects <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> headers.</li>
<li>Converts HTML content to clean Markdown using the League HTMLToMarkdown library.</li>
<li>Strips away theme layout, navigation, headers, footers, and sidebars — serving only the main content.</li>
<li>Adds useful HTTP response headers: <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code>, <code>Vary: Accept</code>, and <code>X-Markdown-Word-Count</code>.</li>
<li>Respects WordPress visibility rules and filters.</li>
<li>No configuration required — works out of the box for posts, pages, and custom post types.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
This plugin uses a standard web technique called HTTP content negotiation. The same URL on your site can serve different representations of the same content depending on what the client asks for:
<ul>
<li>A regular browser sends <code>Accept: text/html</code> → receives your normal HTML page.</li>
<li>An AI agent sends <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> → receives a clean Markdown version of the same page.</li>
</ul>
No extra URLs, no duplicate content, no configuration needed. The plugin hooks into WordPress’s <code>template_redirect</code> action, detects the <code>Accept</code> header, captures the rendered HTML, converts it to Markdown, and returns it with appropriate headers.
<h3>Why Markdown for AI Agents?</h3>
When building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications or AI pipelines that ingest web content, HTML is extremely noisy. A typical WordPress page contains thousands of tokens worth of HTML tags, inline styles, navigation menus, scripts, and layout markup — none of which carries meaning for an AI model.
Serving clean Markdown instead can reduce token consumption by up to 60%, which means:
<ul>
<li>Lower API costs — fewer tokens ingested when loading pages into vector stores or LLM pipelines.</li>
<li>Faster processing — less text for the model to parse, filter, and discard.</li>
<li>Better retrieval accuracy — higher signal-to-noise ratio improves the quality of RAG results.</li>
<li>Simpler pipelines — no need for custom HTML stripping logic on the client side; the plugin handles it server-side.</li>
</ul>
Any AI agent, crawler, or ingestion script that sends <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> in its request header will automatically receive the clean Markdown version — no extra URLs, no separate endpoints, no changes to your content workflow.
