WP Craft Engineer

<p>WPCraftEngineer Product Finder for WooCommerce adds a floating chat widget that helps shoppers discover products through natural language.</p>
<p>It can work in two modes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Keyword mode</strong>: no external AI account required. The plugin uses on-site keyword matching and WooCommerce product data.</li>
<li><strong>AI provider mode</strong>: connect OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic to improve intent detection and reply quality.</li>
</ul>
<p>With WooCommerce product recommendations enabled, shoppers can ask things like:</p>
<ul>
<li>“Show me products under $50”</li>
<li>“I need a gift for a runner”</li>
<li>“What are your newest arrivals?”</li>
<li>“Do you have anything on sale?”</li>
</ul>
<p>If WooCommerce recommendations are disabled, the widget can still act as a general store assistant using your configured welcome message, fallback message, and custom instructions.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Floating chat widget for the front end</li>
<li>Optional WooCommerce product recommendations</li>
<li>Keyword mode with no API key required</li>
<li>Optional OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic provider support</li>
<li>Product cards with image, price, rating, stock status, and product links</li>
<li>Admin settings for color, bot name, greeting message, and chat history retention</li>
<li>Option to hide out-of-stock products</li>
