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>
