A site-wide AI engine for WordPress: one key, one place to configure, and a local API that powers AI features across your plugins.

== Description ==

Sole Engine gives a WordPress site a single AI connection. You enter one key in
one settings page, and every plugin using WordPress's AI features uses it,
including future plugins by Sole Computer.

* One key configures AI for the whole site
* Semantic indexing of your content
* A local PHP API other plugins call
* Block any plugin from using the engine
* If the service is unreachable, your site keeps working. The plugin is built
  so that its own failure does not break the site.

= External services =

This plugin relies on Sole Engine, an external service operated by Sole
Computer (https://sole.computer). The plugin cannot perform AI work without
it, and it requires an active Sole Account membership at sole.computer.

Terms of service: https://sole.computer/wordpress/engine/terms.html
Privacy policy: https://sole.computer/wordpress/engine/privacy.html

The plugin contacts `engine.sole.computer` over HTTPS. Keys are created and
revoked at https://account.sole.computer/.

**What is sent, and when.** When a plugin asks the engine to do AI work, the
plugin sends the content for that operation and the credentials to authenticate
it. With semantic features enabled, saving a post sends its content for
indexing, and deleting or unpublishing one sends a request to remove it;
background jobs send queued content for the same purpose. The settings screen
checks whether a saved key is accepted.

**Stored data.** With semantic features enabled, content and its index data are
stored by the service so search works across requests. Turning semantic features
off stops this, and stored data can be purged from the settings page.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate Sole Engine.
2. Open https://account.sole.computer/ and create a key.
3. Paste it into Settings > Sole Engine and save.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need a key? =

Yes. Without one the plugin installs and activates normally but performs no AI
work.

= Can I stop content being stored? =

Yes. Turn semantic features off, and purge stored data from the settings page.
