FAQ
-
Do I need an API key?
-
For OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Google Gemini — yes, you need your own API key. For Ollama — no key needed, just a running Ollama server.
-
How do I get an API key?
-
- OpenAI: platform.openai.com
- Anthropic: console.anthropic.com
- DeepSeek: platform.deepseek.com
- Google Gemini: aistudio.google.com
-
Where can I run Ollama?
-
Locally on your server, or any machine reachable via HTTP. Visit ollama.com for installation instructions.
-
Does the plugin store conversations?
-
Yes — in two custom database tables in your own database. All data is deleted when you uninstall the plugin. Guest sessions use a cookie token and are never linked to personal data.
-
Can I disable conversation history?
-
A “no-storage” mode is on the roadmap. Currently you can clear conversations using the trash icon in the chat sidebar.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. Frontend assets (~25 KB CSS + ~15 KB JS) only load on pages where the
[eaic_chat]shortcode is used. -
Can I use multiple providers on the same site?
-
Yes — use the
providerattribute to specify different providers on different pages:[eaic_chat provider="openai"]on one page and[eaic_chat provider="gemini"]on another. -
Is this plugin really free?
-
Yes — GPL-2.0-or-later. The only costs are to your chosen AI provider. Ollama is completely free.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
WooCommerce-specific bots (Order Status Bot, Product Q&A Bot, Floating Widget) are available in EasyIT AI Chat Pro.
