About KissAi Widget

From the official readme · v1.7.104

Description

KissAi Widget allows you to easily integrate AI assistants into your WordPress website, enhancing user engagement with intelligent, conversational experiences. Supporting OpenAI models and upcoming integrations with Claude and Gemini, this plugin enables AI-driven assistants for customer support, content generation, product guidance, and more.

The plugin offers custom assistant creation, allowing users to upload knowledge files and train AI assistants to provide accurate responses based on specific business data. The intuitive admin interface simplifies managing assistants, training them, and adjusting their behavior.

Key Features:

  • Customizable AI Assistants: Configure AI assistants with tailored settings and behaviors, including real-time SSE streaming for GPT-4o.
  • Advanced Knowledge Base: Upload multiple files, manage them within WordPress, and create vector stores to improve AI context and accuracy.
  • Threaded Conversations: Built-in system for storing and displaying user conversation history, providing persistent chat threads for better user engagement.
  • Suggested Questions: Optionally generate relevant follow-up or sample questions to guide user inquiries.
  • Multiple AI Model Support: Currently supports OpenAI’s GPT-4o and o3, with plans for Claude, Gemini, and more.
  • Interactive User Engagement: AI responds to real-time user inquiries, providing dynamic content updates and relevant suggestions.
  • Flexible API Integration: Use your OpenAI API key or the KissAi API key for seamless AI interactions.
  • Shortcode Integration: Embed AI assistants easily using shortcodes ([kissai_chat assistant_id="asst_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]) or visual page editors like Elementor or AVADA.
  • Custom Logging and Usage Stats: Records conversation usage and logs for easier troubleshooting and usage reporting.
  • Data Privacy and Security: Securely manages API keys and user data, respecting best practices for privacy and security.

External services

This plugin relies on two external services for its AI functionality:

  1. hub.kissai.io (KissAi Service)

    • Data Sent: Depending on your settings and usage, the plugin may send user registration details (e.g., email, name), and usage metrics to hub.kissai.io. This data is necessary for AI processing, building and updating AI knowledge bases, and tracking usage stats.
    • When: Data is transmitted whenever:
      • You or site visitors interact with an AI assistant (e.g. sending prompts or retrieving conversation logs).
      • Administrators create or train new assistants, update assistants, upload knowledge files, or check usage.
      • A user registers or logs in through the plugin.
    • Why: These operations are required for providing real-time AI responses, custom knowledge-based answers, user account management, model information, and usage metrics.
    • Terms & Privacy:
      • Terms of Service: https://hub.kissai.io/terms
      • Privacy Policy: https://hub.kissai.io/privacy
  2. OpenAI API

    • What: OpenAI’s API endpoints for GPT-4o, o3, and other supported models.
    • Data Sent: The plugin will send user queries/prompts, conversation snippets, or knowledge data to OpenAI for generating responses.
    • When: Data is transmitted to OpenAI each time the assistant processes a prompt, or when you upload knowledge files.
    • Why: Needed to use OpenAI as the AI model for generating chat responses.
    • Terms & Privacy:
      • Terms of Use: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
