Never the page body, never form input, never cookies — only small facts you allow. * **Answers from your content.** Published posts, pages and products are synced into a knowledge base; the assistant answers questions about _your_ site, grounded in retrieval, not model memory. * **Safe actions.** The assistant can act — search content, draft posts, check a customer’s own order, update stock — always with the signed-in user’s own WordPress capabilities, and any change only after an explicit preview card and an Apply click. Deletions need a second confirmation and go to the trash, never permanent removal. The heavy lifting (models, retrieval, orchestration) runs on a Context Assistant server; this plugin connects your site to it. Your secret API key is encrypted at rest and never leaves your server — visitors only ever hold short-lived tokens. **WooCommerce:** with WooCommerce active, the assistant additionally searches the catalog with live prices and stock, shows a signed-in customer the status of their own orders, and lets shop managers update stock through the preview/Apply flow. **For developers:** add your own assistant tools with the context_assistant_tools filter, extend the page context with context_assistant_page_context, and control widget visibility with context_assistant_should_render. WP-CLI: `wp context-assistant sync`. ### External services This plugin does not work on its own: the models, retrieval and orchestration run on a **Context Assistant server** that you configure in **Settings Context Assistant**( the API URL). That server is the hosted Context Assistant service. What the plugin sends to that server, and when: * **On pages where the configured widget is enabled** — the browser loads https:// contextassistant.io/assets/embed.js over HTTPS. This service request exposes normal connection information such as IP address and user agent. The script request uses a no-referrer policy; no API key or chat token is included in its URL. The widget is not loaded on unconfigured/disabled pages. * **When the widget loads** — a short-lived embed token is minted for the browser to fetch widget settings and restore conversation history. The page context you allowed (page URL, titles, public taxonomy terms; each behind its own privacy toggle, never the page body or form input) is attached to the conversation. * **On each message** — the visitor’s message text and that page context, so the assistant can answer. Visitors are identified by an anonymous cookie, not by name. * **When knowledge sync is enabled** — the text of your _published_ posts, pages and products (never drafts or private content), so the assistant can answer from your own content. * **When the Remote Tools bridge is enabled** — the server calls back into your site to run tools under the signed-in user’s own WordPress capabilities; your secret API key stays encrypted on your server and is never sent to the browser. Conversation transcripts are stored on that server and can be exported or deleted( see the FAQ). The service processes messages according to its privacy policy. The widget uses browser local storage to remember whether a visitor has dismissed or engaged with its automatic greeting. If you use the **hosted** Context Assistant service, it is operated under its own terms of service and privacy policy: Terms: https://contextassistant.io/terms/ Privacy: https://contextassistant.io/privacy/ ## Screenshots [⌊A visitor asks in plain language; the answer is grounded in the site's own published pages.

Install and activate the plugin. 2. Open **Settings Context Assistant**. 3. Enter your API URL, secret key (`ca_sk_…`) and Assistant ID from the Context Assistant console, and make sure your site’s origin is allow-listed on the assistant. 4. Press **Check connection** — three green checks mean the widget is live on your site. 5. Optional: enable **Knowledge base sync** so the assistant answers from your content, and the **Remote Tools bridge** so it can act. ## FAQ ### Which key goes into the settings? The Context Assistant secret key (`ca_sk_…`) from your console. The AI provider key (e.g. an OpenAI `sk-…` key) is configured on the Context Assistant server and never enters WordPress. ### What data does the widget send? Per message: the page URL, titles and public taxonomy terms — each behind its own toggle, and never the page body. The knowledge base sync sends only published content. Visitors are identified by an anonymous cookie; the plugin sets no tracking cookies beyond it. ### Does it work with page caching? Yes. Anonymous pages carry nothing user-specific — tokens are fetched by the browser after the page loads, so full-page caches keep working. ### Can visitors change my site through the assistant? No. Guests only see read-only tools over already-public content. Mutating tools exist only for signed-in users with the matching WordPress capabilities, and every mutation requires an explicit confirmation in the chat. ### Can I export or delete the conversation history? Yes. Transcripts are stored on the Context Assistant server, not in your WordPress database. The server exposes an export of all conversations and deletion of any single conversation, so a visitor’s data can be handed over or erased on request. ### Where are the widget’s readable sources? The widget loads from https://contextassistant.io/assets/embed.js. Readable source: https://contextassistant.io/assets/embed.src.js. The plugin retains `assets/embed. js` for old cached pages that reference it, with its readable source beside it in` assets/embed.src.js`. ### Do widget updates require a plugin update? Compatible hosted widget updates do not require a new plugin release. Changes to WordPress integration, token handling or synchronization still do. The widget is connected directly with a script tag, without a separate loader or automatic fallback. If the script is unavailable, the chat does not appear. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Context Assistant” is open source software.
