ICON SL – Smart AI Search adds an advanced semantic search experience to WordPress websites.
Without an API key, searches fall back to the default local WordPress search behavior. To use Smart AI Search as intended, connect your ICON SL API key so the plugin can index public site content and return AI-powered semantic results.
<ul>
<li>Clean admin page focused on search behavior, usage, and maintenance tasks.</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>[iconslsas_search]</code> to show the Smart AI Search interface on any page.</li>
<li>Optional integration to use the Smart AI Search page as the default WordPress search experience.</li>
<li>Connect an API key to enable semantic indexing and AI-powered search results.</li>
<li>Local/classic WordPress search remains available as the fallback when the API key is not configured or semantic search is unavailable.</li>
<li>Semantic indexing keeps AI results in sync with your published content after the service is connected.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to ICON SL services to provide account management, setup, usage information, indexing, and AI-powered semantic search results. Without this connection, the plugin falls back to local WordPress search.
Service provider: 
ICON SL, https://iconsl.com/
When connected, the service indexes only public, published, searchable site content and processes search queries so semantic results can be shown to visitors. Without an API key, searches are handled locally by WordPress and the external service is not used for visitor search queries.
Data sent to this service:
<ul>
<li>Search queries — When semantic search is enabled with an API key, visitor search text is sent to retrieve relevant results. Results are filtered again in WordPress before display so only currently public/searchable posts can be returned.</li>
<li>Connection details — The saved account connection and site identity are used to authenticate the site with the service.</li>
<li>Public content data — Public post titles, content, URLs, modification dates, and related indexing information may be sent to build or refresh the semantic search index. Private, draft, pending, future, trashed, auto-draft, password-protected, and non-public/non-searchable post types are excluded.</li>
<li>PDF attachment data — PDF files are uploaded only when the attachment is public/searchable or attached to public searchable content. Private/protected media, uploads attached to private/draft/password-protected content, and local server file paths are not sent.</li>
<li>Index cleanup data — When indexed content is deleted or is no longer public/searchable, the plugin asks the service to remove stale semantic index records.</li>
<li>Usage/account data — When an administrator loads usage information or updates settings, the plugin may send the saved connection, site identity, and relevant non-secret search configuration values.</li>
</ul>
This plugin does not send database credentials, admin-only settings, private metadata, account keys in frontend JavaScript, or personal data about site visitors to the external service. When semantic search is enabled, only the search query text is transmitted for each visitor search.
Smart AI Search website and dashboard
The admin screen links to the Smart AI Search website so administrators can connect the service and manage their plan. These links are opened only when an administrator clicks them. WordPress sends the normal browser request data for a clicked external link, such as IP address, browser user agent, and referring page, according to the external site’s own policies.

ICON SL – Smart AI Search

Advanced AI-powered search for WordPress, with normal WordPress search used when no API key is connected.

Alessandro Lioce

Creator Assistant Hub is the core infrastructure plugin of the Creator Assistant ecosystem. It connects your WordPress site to OpenAI and Qdrant to automatically generate and store vector embeddings for your content, enabling semantic search and AI-powered features.
How it works
The Hub is the shared infrastructure layer for the Creator Assistant ecosystem. When a compatible add-on is active and activates a vectorizer, the plugin generates vector embeddings via the OpenAI API and stores them in your Qdrant vector database cluster whenever a post is published or updated. This makes your content available for semantic search and retrieval by Creator Assistant add-ons. Without an active add-on, the Hub runs in standby mode — no content is sent to external services.
Key features
<ul>
<li>Automatic post vectorization — when an add-on activates a vectorizer, embeddings are generated and stored whenever a post is published or updated. Without an active add-on, no vectorization takes place.</li>
<li>Chunk-based vectorization — splits post content into word-level segments and stores each chunk as a separate Qdrant point, enabling fine-grained retrieval (activated by add-ons via filter).</li>
<li>Summary-based vectorization — generates a short AI summary of each post via OpenAI Chat Completions, then embeds and stores a single point per post for high-level semantic search (activated by add-ons via filter).</li>
<li>Background batch vectorization — an hourly cron job automatically picks up any existing posts that have not yet been vectorized, so your entire content library is indexed without manual intervention.</li>
<li>OpenAI integration — uses the <code>text-embedding-3-small</code> model (1536 dimensions) via the OpenAI Embeddings API for all vectorizers; the Summary vectorizer additionally calls the OpenAI Chat Completions API (<code>gpt-4.1-nano</code>) to generate post summaries.</li>
<li>Qdrant integration — stores and retrieves vector embeddings from your Qdrant Cloud cluster. Two collections are used: <code>post_chunk</code> for chunk-level points and <code>post_summary</code> for post-level summary points.</li>
<li>Block editor panel — shows the vectorization status of each post directly in the block editor sidebar (document settings panel).</li>
<li>Post list column — adds a “Vector Status” column to the posts and pages admin list, showing the vectorization status of each entry at a glance.</li>
<li>Settings page — configure OpenAI API key, Qdrant endpoint and API key, and cache expiration from a dedicated admin page.</li>
<li>API response caching — configurable cache duration to reduce API usage and latency.</li>
<li>Site Health check — reports the Hub service status in the WordPress Site Health screen.</li>
<li>Qdrant keep-alive — sends a daily lightweight ping to prevent free-tier Qdrant Cloud clusters from being suspended.</li>
<li>WPML compatible — detects the post language via WPML hooks (when WPML is active) and includes it in the Qdrant payload for multilingual filtering.</li>
<li>Extensible — exposes actions and filters so add-ons can register additional post types, override vectorizer behaviour, customise Qdrant payloads, and add settings tabs.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
OpenAI — used to generate vector embeddings from your post content via the Embeddings API. When the Summary vectorizer is active (enabled by an add-on), post content is also sent to the Chat Completions API to generate a short AI summary before embedding.
