Aco Smart AI Assistant

Aco Smart AI Assistant adds an AI-powered chat widget to WordPress websites so visitors can ask questions and get fast, relevant responses.

The plugin is designed for broad website assistance use cases, including general Q&A, page or topic summaries, and helpful suggestions based on your site content and user prompts. It can use your chosen AI provider (OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Google Gemini) to generate natural language replies for business websites, portfolios, content-heavy blogs, and storytelling websites.

For online stores, the same assistant can also support product-focused conversations, WooCommerce product suggestions, and recommendations when WooCommerce data is available.

Site owners can configure assistant behavior from wp-admin, including assistant name, welcome message, selected provider, model, and API key. Basic usage tracking and rate-limiting controls are included to help reduce abuse and monitor request activity.

If no valid API key is configured, the widget can still load with fallback behavior, but AI-generated responses will not be available.
