AI Search Bar

Description

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:

NOT a site search

By twistysnacks on July 29, 2024

First, you can only use this if you have free credits, or purchase credits, with OpenAI. Just an FYI for anyone looking for a free solution - this won't be it.

Second, it absolutely is not a site search. It just inserts a text box that allows you to chat with OpenAI. I'm sure there's a place for this, but if you're looking for a site search, you'll be just as disappointed as me.

I'm leaving one more star than it probably deserves because hey, at least y'all made a shortcode that inserts an OpenAI chatbot. It just doesn't do what you said it would do.

Very good job, that's exactly what I want

This is not an AI Search Bar

By morfjord on April 18, 2024

This is not an AI Search Bar. It is simply an OpenAI prompt on the website that has nothing to do with your own website. Do not use it at all with this plugin.
