<p><strong>Ethora Chat Assistant</strong> adds an AI chat widget to your WordPress site. The assistant reads your own pages and uses them to answer visitor questions, so when someone asks about your product, your pricing, or how to get in touch, they get a real answer instead of a generic contact form.</p>
<h4>Set it up in one click</h4>
<p>The plugin includes a <strong>Set Up Automatically</strong> button. Click it, sign up for a free Ethora account inside the popup, confirm your site URL, and the plugin will:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create your Ethora account.</li>
<li>Provision an AI assistant configured for your site.</li>
<li>Crawl up to 100 of your pages so the assistant can answer questions about them.</li>
<li>Save the assistant’s App ID into your plugin settings automatically.</li>
</ol>
<p>The widget is live on your site as soon as the wizard finishes. Total time: roughly a minute.</p>
<p>Already have an Ethora App ID? Paste it into the settings field instead – both flows produce the same result.</p>
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>A chat launcher on every page of your site (header or footer placement).</li>
<li>Answers grounded in your own content – the assistant cites what it knows from your indexed pages instead of making things up.</li>
<li>A free Ethora admin panel where you can edit the assistant’s prompt, change its name and avatar, re-index your pages after you update them, and review past visitor conversations.</li>
<li>Mobile-responsive widget that works on every screen size.</li>
<li>Optional Google Sign-In so returning visitors keep their chat history.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Typical use cases</h4>
<ul>
<li>Product and SaaS sites – “what does your tool do, how much, how do I integrate it?”</li>
<li>Documentation sites – the assistant answers from your docs.</li>
<li>E-commerce – shoppers ask about shipping, returns, sizing.</li>
<li>Customer support and help centres – first-line triage before a human steps in.</li>
<li>Lead generation and pre-sales – answer FAQs, capture warm leads.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works behind the scenes</h4>
<p>The widget JavaScript is bundled with the plugin and served from your own WordPress site (no remote script host). At runtime the widget connects to the Ethora chat / AI service to provision a chat session and stream responses. The full list of third-party services it contacts is in <strong>External services</strong> below.</p>
<p>The “Set Up Automatically” wizard runs in a popup on the Ethora admin domain (app.chat.ethora.com). When it finishes it sends only the new App ID back to your WordPress site via the browser’s <code>postMessage</code> API, and your WordPress site saves it to the plugin settings. No Ethora credentials are stored in WordPress.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin embeds the Ethora chat / AI assistant. Once you set an App ID and a visitor opens the chat, the widget connects to the following third-party services. No data is sent to these services until a visitor interacts with the chat widget.</p>
<p><strong>1. Ethora chat & AI service (provided by Dappros Ltd, trading as Ethora)</strong><br />
– Purpose: deliver real-time messaging, authenticate the chat session, and return AI assistant responses.<br />
– Data sent: chat messages, the configured App ID, session/authentication tokens, and basic profile data for signed-in users.<br />
– When: while a visitor uses the chat widget.<br />
– Service endpoints: Ethora REST API and XMPP real-time messaging servers on ethora.com domains.<br />
– Provider: https://ethora.com<br />
– Terms of Service: https://wiki.ethora.com/wiki/Info:Privacy_policy#Terms_of_Service<br />
– Privacy Policy: https://wiki.ethora.com/wiki/Info:Privacy_policy</p>
<p><strong>2. Google Sign-In (Google Firebase Authentication / Google OAuth 2.0)</strong><br />
– Purpose: optional “Sign in with Google” login for chat users.<br />
– Data sent: email address and basic Google profile information, only when a visitor chooses to sign in with Google.<br />
– When: during the optional Google sign-in flow.<br />
– Domains: identitytoolkit.googleapis.com, securetoken.googleapis.com, accounts.google.com.<br />
– Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms<br />
– Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</p>
<p><strong>3. LinkPreview (linkpreview.net)</strong><br />
– Purpose: generate preview cards for URLs shared inside chat messages.<br />
– Data sent: URLs contained in chat messages.<br />
– When: when a message contains a link.<br />
– Provider & Privacy Policy: https://www.linkpreview.net</p>
<p>Profile images for signed-in users may be displayed directly from Google’s user-content servers (lh3.googleusercontent.com).</p>
<p>The <strong>Set Up Automatically</strong> wizard, when used, additionally exchanges sign-up form data (email, password, first/last name) with the Ethora API to create your Ethora account, and submits your site URL for crawling. This data is sent only when you actively run the wizard.</p>
<h3>Source code</h3>
<p>The chat widget bundled with this plugin is built from Ethora’s open-source code.</p>
<ul>
<li>Plugin source: https://github.com/dappros/ethora-wp-plugin</li>
<li>Chat widget source: https://github.com/dappros/ethora-ai-chat-widget (Vite-built embeddable widget)</li>
<li>The non-minified, human-readable build of the widget is shipped alongside the plugin as <code>assets/js/ethora_assistant.js</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The widget is produced with a standard <code>npm install</code> + Vite build from the source repository above; no build step is required to run the plugin.</p>

<p><strong>Add an AI chatbot to WordPress that answers visitors from <em>your own</em> content — not generic web answers.</strong> When someone asks a question, Rapls AI Chatbot searches your posts, pages, and knowledge base first, then replies in natural language, in the visitor’s own language. It turns the content you already have into a 24/7 assistant for support, pre-sales, and FAQs.</p>
<p><strong>You can be live in about five minutes, for free, with no credit card.</strong> On first setup a guided “Start for free” panel hands you a free key from OpenRouter or the Google Gemini free tier, tests it, auto-selects a working model, and switches the chatbot on — no AI or API experience needed. There is no monthly SaaS fee and no per-message markup: it runs on your own API key, and your conversations stay on your own server.</p>
<p>Built for site owners, agencies, and developers who want control over the model, the data, and the cost. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter, and switch anytime.</p>
<h4>Why site owners pick Rapls</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Free to try, fast to launch.</strong> Guided onboarding gets you from install to a working chatbot in minutes, with a no-credit-card OpenRouter or Gemini key.</li>
<li><strong>Answers from your site, not the open web.</strong> RAG hybrid search grounds replies in your actual posts, pages, and knowledge base, so answers stay on-brand and accurate.</li>
<li><strong>Your data, your bill.</strong> Self-hosted: conversations and keys live on your WordPress install, and you pay your AI provider directly with no markup.</li>
<li><strong>No lock-in.</strong> Switch between OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and OpenRouter whenever you want.</li>
<li><strong>Speaks your visitors’ language.</strong> Automatic multi-language replies, so one bot serves an international audience.</li>
</ul>
<h4>What it does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Bring your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter, switchable per site.</li>
<li>Site learning: indexes your posts and pages so the bot answers from your content.</li>
<li>Knowledge base: add Q&A or upload PDF/DOCX files, with priority over general answers.</li>
<li>RAG hybrid search: combines keyword and semantic retrieval for grounded replies.</li>
<li>Web search: lets the bot pull current information when configured.</li>
<li>MCP tools: exposes 5 Model Context Protocol tools, so agents such as Claude or ChatGPT can read and act on your site through conversation.</li>
<li>Usage dashboard: tracks conversations, messages, and API cost.</li>
<li>Gutenberg block: drop the chatbot into any page or post.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Self-hosted and private</h4>
<p>Conversations and keys stay on your own WordPress install. You are billed by your AI provider directly, so cost is transparent and there is no markup.</p>
<h4>Free and Pro</h4>
<p>The free version covers the full chatbot, site learning, knowledge base, RAG, MCP, and the usage dashboard. Pro adds lead capture automation and RAG hybrid search fine-tuning.</p>
<h4>Up and running in about 5 minutes (free, no credit card)</h4>
<p>You do not need an API key or any AI experience to start. On first setup the plugin shows a “Start for free” panel with two no-credit-card paths: an OpenRouter free key or a Google Gemini free-tier key.</p>
<ol>
<li>Pick OpenRouter or Gemini.</li>
<li>Click through to get a free key (about a minute) and paste it in.</li>
<li>Press Test Connection — the key is validated and saved, a working free model is auto-selected, and the chatbot is switched on.</li>
</ol>
<p>That’s it. Each option states its data-handling trade-off up front (the Gemini free tier may use submitted content to improve Google’s models), so you choose with eyes open. You can switch to your own OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini key at any time.</p>
