<h3><strong>WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING</strong></h3>
<p><em>“Motive always came recommended by the different communities we enquired through. We trialed a few other providers before switching, however they were under-featured, clunky and over-priced. When we trialed Motive the on-boarding was the smoothest I’d ever seen and we were able to get a workable search implementation almost instantly – it just worked and most importantly our customers loved it.”</em> JH – United Kingdom on Trustpilot</p>
<p><em>“I totally recommend this smart search engine solution to anyone running an online store. It’s reliable, fast, super easy to use, and cheaper than the other options out there. Plus, their customer support team is awesome. Really professional and helpful. That makes all the difference!”</em> –  Global Neoprene – France on Trustpilot</p>
<p><em>“The integration was surprisingly quick and easy, working seamlessly with WooCommerce. What really impressed us was how customizable the search tool is – it blended in so well with our website’s design that it felt like a built-in feature, keeping everything looking consistent without sacrificing any functionality. Our experience with Motive eCommerce Search and the team behind it has been incredibly positive, directly improving navigation and customer satisfaction in our stores.”</em> – Victor – Spain on Trustpilot</p>

<p><strong>Your visitors search for “comfortable shoes for hiking” and get zero results. That’s because default WordPress search only matches exact keywords — it doesn’t understand what people actually mean.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Savanto fixes that.</strong> It replaces your search with AI that understands natural language, adds an intelligent chat assistant, and powers smart product recommendations — all without needing an OpenAI account, API key, or any technical setup.</p>
<p>Install the plugin, activate it, and enter your Savanto Secret Key. Savanto handles the AI on its own servers so you never have to manage tokens, usage limits, or billing with OpenAI, Anthropic, or anyone else.</p>
<h4>🎥 See Savanto AI Chat in Action</h4>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sghnSXkfZKc?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span>
<h4>⚡ How Savanto Is Different From Other AI Plugins</h4>
<p>Most WordPress AI plugins are toolkits. They connect your site to external AI providers, but you have to bring your own API key, configure embeddings, choose models, and build the experience yourself. That works for developers. It does not work for store owners who just want better search.</p>
<p>Savanto is not a toolkit. It is a complete, ready to use product.</p>
<ul>
<li>✅ No OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key required</li>
<li>✅ No third party AI account to create or manage</li>
<li>✅ No vector database setup</li>
<li>✅ No prompt engineering or model selection</li>
<li>✅ No usage based billing surprises from external providers</li>
<li>✅ Everything runs through Savanto’s own AI infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<p>Under the hood, Savanto uses a multi-agent AI architecture with models specifically selected and tuned for each task — search ranking, chat conversations, product recommendations. You get the benefit of that engineering without touching a single setting.</p>
<p>Other AI plugins require your own API keys and developer knowledge to get running. Some customer support platforms offer AI as a premium add-on starting at $29/month or more. Savanto gives you AI search and chat as a finished product starting at $9/month with nothing else to configure.</p>
<h4>🔍 Semantic Search</h4>
<p>Replaces your default WordPress search with AI that understands natural language. When someone types “something warm but not too bulky” or “gifts under $50 for someone who likes cooking,” Savanto knows what they mean and returns the right results. It handles typos, vague descriptions, and conversational queries without any tuning.</p>
<h4>💬 AI Chat Assistant</h4>
<p>A built in assistant that guides visitors through your content and products. It answers questions, makes recommendations, and helps people find what they came for. Think of it as a knowledgeable sales associate that never clocks out.</p>
<h4>🎯 Smart Recommendations</h4>
<p>Context aware suggestions that surface relevant products, posts, and pages your visitors would have missed. Not based on browsing history or cookies. Based on understanding what the visitor is actually looking for.</p>
<h4>🤝 Live Agent Handoff</h4>
<p>The AI knows when a question needs a human. Complex or sensitive inquiries get routed to your support team seamlessly, so visitors never hit a dead end.</p>
<h4>🔄 Auto Sync</h4>
<p>When you publish new pages, products, or posts, Savanto picks them up automatically. No re-indexing. No manual updates. Your search results are always current.</p>
<h4>🛒 Built for WooCommerce</h4>
<p>Savanto scans your entire product catalog including titles, descriptions, pricing, categories, and custom fields. Visitors search the way they think, and Savanto delivers the right products. Fewer dead end searches means more conversions.</p>
<h4>🔐 Privacy First</h4>
<p>Savanto only indexes publicly available content on your site. It never touches private content, drafts, user data, or personal information.</p>
<h4>🚀 Performance</h4>
<p>Sub 100ms response times via global edge deployment. 99.9% uptime SLA. Your search will be faster than it has ever been.</p>
<h4>🔧 Compatible With</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress</li>
<li>WooCommerce</li>
<li>Elementor</li>
<li>Gutenberg</li>
<li>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)</li>
</ul>
<p>Developer API available at <a href="https://savanto.ai/docs/api" rel="nofollow ugc">savanto.ai/docs/api</a> for custom integrations.</p>
<h4>🆓 Getting Started</h4>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x0rCsAY4m_E?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span>
<p>Install the plugin, activate it, enter your Savanto Secret Key, and you’re live. Savanto begins indexing your content automatically. Most sites are fully searchable within minutes.</p>
<p>Plans start at $9/month with a 14 day free trial. No credit card required.</p>
<h4>Use of Third Party Services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to Savanto’s servers to provide AI powered search and chat functionality. When activated, your publicly available site content (pages, posts, and products) is sent to Savanto’s servers for indexing and processing.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.savanto.ai" rel="nofollow ugc">Savanto</a> – <a href="https://www.savanto.ai/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="https://www.savanto.ai/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<p>No data is shared with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other third party AI provider. All AI processing is handled through Savanto’s own infrastructure.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Savanto cloud service (savanto.ai) to provide AI-powered search and chat functionality.</p>
<h4>Data Sent to Savanto</h4>
<p>When you connect and sync content, the following data is transmitted to Savanto servers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Post and page content (title, body, excerpt, permalink)</li>
<li>Product information for WooCommerce (name, description, price, SKU, categories, images)</li>
<li>Taxonomy terms (categories, tags, product attributes)</li>
<li>Post meta that is marked as public</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data NOT Collected</h4>
<ul>
<li>User personal information (emails, names, addresses)</li>
<li>Order details or customer data</li>
<li>Passwords or authentication credentials</li>
<li>Private or draft content (only published content is synced)</li>
<li>Comments or user-generated content</li>
</ul>
<h4>Chat Widget</h4>
<p>The chat widget loads from Savanto’s CDN (cdn.savanto.ai). When visitors use the chat:</p>
<ul>
<li>Their questions are processed by Savanto’s AI</li>
<li>No personally identifiable information is collected</li>
<li>Chat conversations are not stored unless you enable analytics in your dashboard</li>
</ul>
<h4>MCP Server (WooCommerce)</h4>
<p>If you enable the MCP Orders domain for WooCommerce:</p>
<ul>
<li>Order lookups are performed locally on your WordPress server</li>
<li>Order data stays on your server and is not sent to Savanto</li>
<li>The Savanto cloud only routes requests to your server</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How Order Lookups Work:</strong></p>
<p>When a customer asks about their orders through the chat:</p>
<ol>
<li>The question is analyzed by Savanto’s AI in the cloud</li>
<li>If it’s an order question, Savanto sends a request back to YOUR WordPress site</li>
<li>Your WordPress plugin looks up the order using WooCommerce</li>
<li>Only the relevant order summary is returned to complete the AI response</li>
</ol>
<p>The full order database is never accessed by or copied to Savanto servers.</p>
<h4>Data Retention</h4>
<ul>
<li>Synced content remains in Savanto’s cloud until you disconnect or delete it</li>
<li>Disconnecting removes all your indexed content from Savanto servers</li>
<li>You can request complete data deletion by contacting support@savanto.ai</li>
</ul>
<h4>External Service</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to the <a href="https://savanto.ai" rel="nofollow ugc">Savanto</a> cloud service to provide AI-powered features. The plugin and cloud service are developed by the same team. By using this plugin, you agree to Savanto’s:</p>

<h4>GDPR Compliance</h4>
<p>Savanto is designed with privacy in mind. Since no personal user data is collected or transmitted, standard GDPR consent mechanisms for visitor data are not required. However, you should update your site’s privacy policy to disclose that content is processed by a third-party AI service.</p>
