<h4>Why “Swayam”?</h4>
Swayam (स्वयं)—an ancient Sanskrit word meaning “self.” Your content. Your knowledge. Autonomously intelligent.
Swayam AI Chatbot is a WordPress plugin that provides an intelligent chatbot powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. It indexes your WordPress content and uses AI to answer visitor questions based on your actual posts, pages, and custom post types.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>RAG-Powered Q&A – Answers questions using your actual WordPress content as context</li>
<li>Automatic Content Indexing – Syncs posts, pages, and custom post types to a vector database</li>
<li>Auto-Sync on Publish – Automatically updates the index when content is published, updated, or deleted</li>
<li>Customizable Chat Interface – Use the shortcode or floating widget</li>
<li>Admin Dashboard – Easy configuration with connection testing</li>
<li>REST API – Programmatic access to the chatbot</li>
<li>Rate Limiting – Built-in protection against spam</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>
Embed the chatbot on any page or post:
<pre><code>[swayam_ai_chatbot]
</code></pre>
With custom attributes:
<pre><code>[swayam_ai_chatbot title="Ask about our products" placeholder="What would you like to know?"]
</code></pre>
<h4>External Services</h4>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
Ollama (Required) 
This plugin requires a running Ollama instance to generate embeddings and chat responses using the Llama 3.2 model.
<ul>
<li>Ollama website: <a href="https://ollama.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ollama.com/</a></li>
<li>Ollama Privacy Policy: <a href="https://ollama.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ollama.com/privacy</a></li>
<li>Ollama Terms of Service: <a href="https://ollama.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ollama.com/terms</a></li>
</ul>
Ollama runs locally on your server or a server you control. No data is sent to third-party cloud services unless you configure it to connect to a remote Ollama instance.
Elasticsearch (Required) 
This plugin requires an Elasticsearch instance to store vector embeddings and perform semantic search.
<ul>
<li>Elasticsearch website: <a href="https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/</a></li>
<li>Elastic Privacy Policy: <a href="https://www.elastic.co/legal/privacy-statement" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.elastic.co/legal/privacy-statement</a></li>
<li>Elastic Terms of Service: <a href="https://www.elastic.co/legal/elastic-license" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.elastic.co/legal/elastic-license</a></li>
</ul>
Elasticsearch can run locally on your server. If using Elastic Cloud, your indexed content will be stored on Elastic’s servers according to their privacy policy.
Data Transmitted 
* To Ollama: Post content for embedding generation, user questions for response generation 
* To Elasticsearch: Post content, titles, excerpts, URLs, and vector embeddings

<li>Ability to specify what data points should be indexed and what the relevancy of those points are.</li>
<li>Fall back to default wordpress search if ElasticSearch server is not responsive.</li>
<li>Update ElasticSearch server when posts are removed/added/unpublished.</li>
<li>Provide a faceting API for building your own custom searches</li>
</ul>
