It provides calm, neutral AI oversight for on-page conversations — without tracking users, storing messages, or profiling visitors. AdamBox is an **AI moderator**, not a chatbot and not a participant. ### Core Principles * Clean and lean architecture * WordPress coding standards compliant * Privacy-first by design * No user tracking or profiling * No persistent message storage * No custom database tables * No external JavaScript frameworks * Community-first and fully open source ### What AdamBox Does * Renders a live, moderation-enabled chatbox via shortcode * Allows multiple visitors to chat together on the same page * Uses session-based display names (no accounts required) * Temporarily observes recent messages for moderation context only * Intervenes calmly and neutrally when moderation is needed * Uses WordPress REST API and vanilla JavaScript only ### What AdamBox Does _Not_ Do * No long-term memory * No learning from conversations * No user profiling or identity tracking * No chat transcripts saved to the database * No analytics or tracking scripts * No feature gating in the free version AdamBox is built for site owners who want **responsible AI oversight** without sacrificing privacy, performance, or control. ### Usage Insert the shortcode anywhere you want the live chat chatbox to appear: ``` [adambox] ``` Each page maintains its own conversation context. Messages are shared live between visitors on the same page. ### Settings AdamBox adds a settings page at: **Settings AdamBox** Available options include: ### API Configuration * Optional OpenAI API key * Stored securely using WordPress options ### Moderation Controls * Moderation strictness: - Low - Medium (default) - High * AI intervention level: - Intervene only (default) - Summarize when needed - Actively guide These controls affect **how and when** the AI moderator intervenes — not what users are allowed to say. ### Privacy AdamBox is privacy-first by design. * No persistent user data * No chat logs stored in the database * No cookies beyond session state (or localStorage fallback) * No analytics or tracking scripts * No third-party JavaScript frameworks Messages exist **only temporarily** for moderation context and are discarded automatically. ### External Services AdamBox optionally connects to the OpenAI API to provide AI-powered moderation. This service is used only when a site administrator supplies their own OpenAI API key in the plugin settings. Data sent: – User-submitted chat messages (text only) – Sent only at the moment moderation is triggered No data is stored by AdamBox after processing. Service provider: OpenAI, Inc.
