## Description

Context Assistant adds an AI chat widget to your site — but unlike a
 generic chatbot,
it is built around three ideas:

 * **Page context.** The assistant knows _where_ the visitor is: which
    post or 
   product is open, its title and categories. Never the page body, never form input,
   never cookies — only small facts you allow.
 * **Answers from your content.** Published posts, pages and products
    are synced
   into a knowledge base; the assistant answers questions about _your_ site, grounded
   in retrieval, not model memory.
 * **Safe actions.** The assistant can act — search content, draft
    posts, check
   a customer’s own order, update stock — always with the signed-in user’s own WordPress
   capabilities, and any change only after an explicit preview card and an Apply
   click. Deletions need a second confirmation and go to the trash, never permanent
   removal.

The heavy lifting (models, retrieval, orchestration) runs on a Context
 Assistant
server; this plugin connects your site to it. Your secret API key is encrypted at
rest and never leaves your server — visitors only ever hold short-lived tokens.

**WooCommerce:** with WooCommerce active, the assistant additionally
 searches the
catalog with live prices and stock, shows a signed-in customer the status of their
own orders, and lets shop managers update stock through the preview/Apply flow.

**For developers:** add your own assistant tools with the
 context_assistant_tools
filter, extend the page context with context_assistant_page_context, and control
widget visibility with context_assistant_should_render. WP-CLI: `wp context-assistant
sync`.

### External services

This plugin does not work on its own: the models, retrieval and
 orchestration run
on a **Context Assistant server** that you configure in **Settings  Context Assistant**(
the API URL). That server is either your own self-hosted instance or the hosted 
Context Assistant service — the plugin talks only to whichever URL you enter.

What the plugin sends to that server, and when:

 * **When a visitor opens the chat** — a short-lived embed token is
    minted for 
   the browser, and the page context you allowed (page URL, titles, public taxonomy
   terms; each behind its own privacy toggle, never the page body or form input)
   is attached to the conversation.
 * **On each message** — the visitor’s message text and that page
    context, so the
   assistant can answer. Visitors are identified by an anonymous cookie, not by 
   name.
 * **When knowledge sync is enabled** — the text of your _published_
    posts, pages
   and products (never drafts or private content), so the assistant can answer from
   your own content.
 * **When the Remote Tools bridge is enabled** — the server calls back
    into your
   site to run tools under the signed-in user’s own WordPress capabilities; your
   secret API key stays encrypted on your server and is never sent to the browser.

Conversation transcripts are stored on that server and can be exported
 or deleted(
see the FAQ). No data is sent anywhere else.

If you use the **hosted** Context Assistant service, it is operated
 under its own
terms of service and privacy policy: Terms: https://contextassistant.io/terms/ Privacy:

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

 *   Context Assistant Shows the Context Assistant chat widget on this page (useful
   when the widget is limited to selected post types).

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin.
 2. Open **Settings  Context Assistant**.
 3. Enter your API URL, secret key (`ca_sk_…`) and Assistant ID from the Context Assistant
    console, and make sure your site’s origin is allow-listed on the assistant.
 4. Press **Check connection** — three green checks mean the widget is live on your
    site.
 5. Optional: enable **Knowledge base sync** so the assistant answers from your content,
    and the **Remote Tools bridge** so it can act.

## FAQ

### Which key goes into the settings?

The Context Assistant secret key (`ca_sk_…`) from your console. The AI
 provider
key (e.g. an OpenAI `sk-…` key) is configured on the Context Assistant server and
never enters WordPress.

### What data does the widget send?

Per message: the page URL, titles and public taxonomy terms — each
 behind its own
toggle, and never the page body. The knowledge base sync sends only published content.
Visitors are identified by an anonymous cookie; the plugin sets no tracking cookies
beyond it.

### Does it work with page caching?

Yes. Anonymous pages carry nothing user-specific — tokens are fetched
 by the browser
after the page loads, so full-page caches keep working.

### Can visitors change my site through the assistant?

No. Guests only see read-only tools over already-public content.
 Mutating tools
exist only for signed-in users with the matching WordPress capabilities, and every
mutation requires an explicit confirmation in the chat.

### Can I export or delete the conversation history?

Yes. Transcripts are stored on the Context Assistant server, not in
 your WordPress
database. The server exposes an export of all conversations and deletion of any 
single conversation, so a visitor’s data can be handed over or erased on request(
GDPR). Self-hosting the server keeps that data entirely under your control — see
below.

### Where are the widget’s readable sources?

The plugin enqueues a minified `assets/embed.js`. Its full, unminified
 source ships
beside it as `assets/embed.src.js`, and both are built from `packages/embed-sdk`
in the public repository — no build step is hidden.
