Add an AI-powered visitor assistant that answers questions from your WordPress content, supports contact flows, and helps WooCommerce shoppers.

== Description ==

Site Intent adds a page-aware chat widget and knowledge-base search to WordPress. Visitors can ask questions, use optional WooCommerce and Contact Us workflows, and receive answers powered by your configured AI provider when an API key is set.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/site-intent`, or install through the WordPress **Plugins** screen.
2. Activate Site Intent through the **Plugins** screen.
3. Open **Site Intent** in the admin menu and complete the setup wizard.
4. Add an OpenAI or Google Gemini API key in **Site Intent → Settings** to enable AI answers.
5. Enable the chat widget and choose which pages to include in the knowledge base as needed.

== Screenshots ==

1. Site Intent dashboard showing setup status, knowledge-base readiness, and visitor assistant controls.
2. Knowledge base screen for choosing which WordPress content the assistant can use.
3. Frontend chat widget where visitors can ask questions and use guided actions.
4. Inbox screen for reviewing visitor contact requests submitted through the widget.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I control what content the assistant uses? =

Yes. Site Intent lets you choose which WordPress posts, pages, or supported content are included in the knowledge base. The assistant is designed to answer from the content you select.

= Does Site Intent work without WooCommerce? =

Yes. WooCommerce is optional. If WooCommerce is active, Site Intent can provide store-related visitor assistance such as product browsing or order status features, depending on your settings. If WooCommerce is not active, the general knowledge base and contact features can still be used.

== Privacy ==

Site Intent stores plugin data on your WordPress site. What is stored depends on administrator settings and which features are enabled.

When Contact Us requests are enabled, visitors may submit an email address and message through the chat widget. These requests are stored in the Site Intent inbox on your site.

If chat history and activity storage are enabled, Site Intent may store visitor questions, assistant replies, workflow activity, and related page context so site administrators can review conversations and improve the knowledge base. Site owners can turn this storage off and manage retention or cleanup in **Site Intent → Data & Privacy**.

Site Intent uses browser storage and a session identifier so the chat can continue across messages. Visitors may voluntarily type personal information into chat or contact fields, so site owners should describe their use of Site Intent in their own privacy policy as appropriate.

For suggested privacy policy wording inside wp-admin, see **Settings → Privacy → Privacy Policy Guide** after Site Intent is active.

== External services ==

Site Intent can connect to third-party AI providers when a site administrator configures an API key. No AI requests are sent until a valid provider API key is saved.

Depending on enabled functionality, Site Intent may send the visitor's current question, relevant excerpts from selected site content, and selected knowledge-base content used for indexing or answer generation.

Site Intent does not route AI requests through Site Intent-owned servers and does not send stored local transcript history to an AI provider merely because transcripts exist on your site.

Site owners should review each provider's terms and privacy documentation and account for AI processing in their own site privacy policy.
