How it works

ChatBudgie bridges the gap between your website content and AI through a sophisticated workflow:

1. Local Knowledge Base: The plugin scans your WordPress posts and pages, breaking them into semantic “chunks.”
2. AI Embedding: It calls superbudgie embedding API to select advanced AI models and transform these chunks into high-dimensional vector embeddings, which are stored securely in a local database on your server.
3. Smart Search: When a user asks a question, ChatBudgie performs a local vector search to find the most relevant information from your local index.
4. LLM Generation: The user query with retrieved context is sent to superbudgie chat API to select a Large Language Model (LLM) like GPT or Claude to generate a precise, human-like response, ensuring the answer is always grounded in your site’s actual data.

External services

This plugin relies on the following external services:

SuperBudgie platform

ChatBudgie connects to the SuperBudgie platform (https://chat.superbudgie.com/) to authenticate the site, generate embeddings for indexed content, generate chat responses, show account and billing information, and create/capture token purchase orders.

Data sent to SuperBudgie depends on the feature being used:

• When an administrator connects the plugin to a SuperBudgie account, the plugin sends the OAuth callback code, the plugin app name, and the site URL to the SuperBudgie authentication service.
• When content is indexed, the plugin sends the post or page title, excerpt, content, content type, site URL, plugin app name, and the site’s ChatBudgie app key to the SuperBudgie embedding service.
• When a visitor sends a chat message, the plugin sends the visitor’s message, recent conversation history, the relevant content snippets retrieved from the local index, the site URL, and the site’s ChatBudgie app key to the SuperBudgie chat service so it can generate a response.
• When an administrator opens the ChatBudgie account, usage, or orders screens, the plugin sends the site’s ChatBudgie app key, plus pagination parameters for usage/orders requests, to the SuperBudgie account service.
• When an administrator buys tokens, the plugin sends the selected package, amount, currency, display price, site URL, order ID, the plugin app name, and the site’s ChatBudgie app key to the SuperBudgie payment service.

PayPal

ChatBudgie loads the PayPal JavaScript SDK in the plugin’s admin orders screen and uses PayPal to let administrators complete token purchases.

Data sent to PayPal depends on the purchase flow:

• When the admin orders page is loaded, the administrator’s browser connects to https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js to load the PayPal checkout script.
• When an administrator completes checkout, PayPal receives the payment/order information needed to process the transaction. Payment details are handled by PayPal, not stored by this plugin.
