Ask Adam Lite

Ask Adam Lite makes it easy to add an AI-powered assistant to your WordPress site.
It works out of the box with your own OpenAI API key and provides a simple, standalone solution.
You can display it as a floating widget or drop it into any page or post using a shortcode.

Features in Lite:
– Floating AI chat widget or [ask_adam_lite] shortcode
– Works with your own OpenAI API key (no extra accounts required)
– Basic knowledge base: index up to one sitemap and one priority URL
– Simple admin settings for position, assistant name, and avatar
– Privacy-friendly — no data collection or tracking of your visitors
– Lightweight, fast, and secure — follows WordPress Coding Standards

Need more features?
Ask Adam Lite is fully functional on its own.
If you’d like advanced options such as multiple AI providers, real-time web search, custom chat themes, or multi-profile assistants, those are available in the Pro version at https://www.askadamit.com
