Meet Botisst, a feature-rich, self-hosted AI chatbot designed specifically for WordPress. Instead of routing your data through expensive third-party subscriptions, Botisst connects your site directly to OpenAI or Google Gemini.
Botisst includes an advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) engine built right in. You can train the AI on your own content by adding text snippets, website URLs, and existing WordPress pages or posts. Your knowledge base is securely indexed and stored using either a built-in local SQLite vector database (zero configuration required) or Pinecone (for scalable cloud storage).
Key Features
