The free version provides the interface and framework but doesn’t require an API key. To unlock real AI processing, you’ll need to upgrade to Pro and configure an API key from your chosen AI provider. ### Which AI providers are supported in the Pro version? Pro version supports the following AI providers: – **ChatGPT (OpenAI)** – Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/privacy/ – **Claude (Anthropic)** – Privacy Policy: https:// www.anthropic.com/privacy – **Gemini (Google)** – Privacy Policy: https://policies. google.com/privacy – **DeepSeek** – Privacy Policy: https://www.deepseek.com/privacy–** Custom / Self-Hosted** — any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, or your own private deployment). API key is optional for internal no-auth deployments. These services provide AI processing for natural language understanding, product search, and customer support features. ### What data is sent to third-party AI services? **Free Version:** No data is sent to external services. All features use mock simulations. **Pro Version (Cloud AI providers):** When you use AI features, the following data is sent to your chosen AI provider: – Product information (name, description, price, attributes) – Customer queries and questions – Cart contents for analysis (when using cart analysis feature) Data is sent only when: – User actively uses AI search features – User requests AI cart analysis – User asks questions using the Product Assistant **Pro Version (Self-Hosted / Custom provider):** If you configure a self-hosted LLM endpoint (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, or your own private deployment), all AI processing happens within your own infrastructure. No product data or customer queries are sent to any third-party service. Your API keys and user personal information are never transmitted to our servers. ### Is this plugin compatible with my theme? Yes! The plugin is designed to work with any properly coded WordPress theme. It includes customizable templates that adapt to your theme’s styling. ### Will this slow down my website? No, the plugin is performance-optimized and only loads resources when needed. The free version has minimal impact on site speed. ### Can I customize the appearance? Absolutely! The plugin includes template files that you can customize, and it respects your theme’s styling by default. ### Does this work with variable products? Yes, the plugin supports all WooCommerce product types including simple, variable, grouped, and external products. ### Is it GDPR compliant? Yes, the plugin respects privacy laws. In the Pro version, API calls are made directly from your server to the AI provider – we don’t store or process your customer data. ### Can I use this on multiple sites? The free version can be used on unlimited sites. Pro licenses support one website per license. ### What happens if I deactivate the Pro version? Your site will continue to work normally with the free version features, switching back to mock simulation mode instead of real AI calls. Pro features will be disabled but all your settings and data remain intact. ### Do users need to be logged in to use AI features? Yes, AI features require user registration and login for better personalization and security. Guest users can browse products normally but need to create an account to access AI-powered search, cart analysis, and product Q&A features. ### Can I adjust the search performance settings? Yes! You can configure “Products Per Batch” (default: 100) and “Maximum Batches”( automatically calculated based on your store’s product count) in the Search Performance settings to optimize performance for your store size. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AI Product Assistant” is open source software.
