AI-powered sales and support assistant for WordPress using OpenAI to answer customer questions and capture leads.

== Description ==

AI Sales Assistant Lite is an AI-powered sales and support assistant for WordPress that answers customer questions, promotes your products and services, and helps capture leads using OpenAI.

Customize your assistant by configuring:

* Company information
* Products and services
* Hero section content
* Suggested questions
* Contact information
* Chat appearance and colors
* Welcome message
* Call-to-action section
* OpenAI API key and AI model

Display the assistant anywhere on your website using the shortcode:

[kwclc_lead_chat]

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin ZIP file through **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin**.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Go to **AI Sales Assistant → Setup Wizard**.
4. Enter your company information, services, contact details, and OpenAI API key.
5. Add the shortcode `[kwclc_lead_chat]` to any page or post where you want the assistant to appear.

== External Services ==

This plugin connects to the OpenAI API only after the site owner enters a valid OpenAI API key in the plugin settings.

When a visitor sends a message through the assistant, the plugin sends the following information to OpenAI to generate a response:

* The visitor's current message.
* Recent conversation history.
* Assistant instructions configured by the site owner.

No data is sent to OpenAI until an API key has been configured and a visitor submits a message.

Depending on how the website is configured, visitor messages may contain personal information voluntarily entered by the visitor.
