Description

The AI Search Bar plugin allows you to embed a ChatGPT-like search box into your website using a simple shortcode. When users type a prompt into the search bar, it communicates directly with OpenAI’s API to generate a response—just like ChatGPT.

⚠️ Important: This plugin does not search or display your website’s internal content. It is strictly used to allow ChatGPT-style prompt-based interaction via OpenAI’s service.

We use trusted third-party services to generate responses:
