<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin can connect to third-party AI services when an administrator configures an API key and a visitor or administrator uses the search, chat, provider test, or auto-classification features. The plugin sends the user’s question or test prompt, relevant knowledge base entry content, and selected model details to the configured AI provider so that the provider can generate search results, classifications, or chat answers.
<h4>Anthropic Claude</h4>
When Anthropic is selected, the plugin sends prompts, visitor questions, conversation history, and relevant knowledge base content to the Anthropic API at <code>https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages</code>. This is used to generate answers, classify entries, and test the configured provider connection.
