The AI Search Bar plugin allows you to embed a ChatGPT-like search box into your website using a simple shortcode. When users type a prompt into the search bar, it communicates directly with OpenAI’s API to generate a response—just like ChatGPT. ⚠️ Important: This plugin does not search or display your website’s internal content. It is strictly used to allow ChatGPT-style prompt-based interaction via OpenAI’s service. We use trusted third-party services to generate responses: 🔗 https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions Key Features Embed a ChatGPT-style search bar using [ai_search_bar] Uses OpenAI’s GPT model to answer prompts Works like ChatGPT—answers based on user input, not website content Easy to set up with no coding required Clean, lightweight, and fast Install via WordPress Dashboard Log in to your WordPress admin area.
