Sell.AI is an AI sales assistant that lives in a chat widget on your WooCommerce store. Customers describe what they’re looking for in plain language, and the chatbot searches your product catalog, shows interactive product cards, and helps them buy — without leaving the chat.
How it works
- A customer opens the chat and types what they need — in any language.
- Sell.AI searches your WooCommerce catalog using fast keyword-based search.
- The chatbot responds with a helpful answer and interactive product cards (image, price, stock, Add to Cart).
- The customer adds products to cart directly from the chat.

Third-Party Services
OpenAI API
Customer messages and relevant product data are sent to the OpenAI API to generate AI-powered responses. This requires your own OpenAI API key. Data is transmitted only when a customer sends a message in the chat widget.
No other external services are used by this plugin.
