Can I use Claude for replies?
Alpha Chat
Yes. Choose Anthropic for chat, then pick OpenAI or Voyage for embeddings. The two settings are independent.
Chat and Embedding ProvidersIllustrated flow. Select a topic to explore how it works.
Your Content, Within Reach
Visitors ask in their own words. Alpha Chat searches the knowledge you’ve indexed and brings useful context into the reply.
- 1
Choose the Content
Index posts, pages, and public custom post types. Add curated Q&A for answers that deserve extra care.
- 2
Keep the Index
Content chunks and vectors live in your WordPress database by default. No separate hosted vector database is required.
- 3
Answer With Context
The selected model receives the question, retrieved passages, and conversation context. Relevant source cards help visitors continue reading.
Source context helps an answer. It doesn’t guarantee correctness: the model can use general knowledge when context is thin. Review important answers and keep policies current.
Inside Alpha Chat
Manage content, inspect conversations, and choose how the assistant appears on your site.
See the indexing queue and knowledge-base coverage without leaving WordPress.
Choose chat and embedding providers separately, then tune the response settings.
A visitor reply, a source card, and the option to send a message in the chat panel.
A Chatbot You Can Configure
Control the knowledge, the model, the placement, and the follow-up.
Curated Q&A
Add focused answers for recurring questions, and import useful Q&A from page URLs, FAQ markup, or question headings.
Widget Placement
Use a Gutenberg block, shortcode, or opt-in floating launcher. Set device visibility and separate desktop and mobile offsets.
Isolated Widget Styles
Shadow DOM keeps the chat interface separate from most theme CSS. Set the accent, panel, and message colors in the plugin.
Conversation History
Review conversations, token usage, and sources in WordPress. Export conversation records as CSV when needed.
Developer Hooks
Replace providers or vector storage, adjust retrieved passages, and control widget visibility through documented interfaces and filters.
Choose Your AI Providers
Chat and embeddings are separate jobs. Pick the provider for each without moving your WordPress knowledge base to a hosted chatbot platform.
- Bring your own API keys and provider account.
- Choose Fast, Balanced, or Quality presets, or tune the settings.
- Set response length and reasoning options supported by your provider.
Indexing and visitor questions can create provider charges. Budget for embeddings as well as chat replies.
Chat Replies
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- xAI
- DeepSeek
Embeddings
- OpenAI
- Voyage AI
Site content goes to the embedding provider. Questions and relevant context go to the chat provider. Review their data policies before indexing sensitive material.
Keep the Conversation Open
Some questions need a person. Enable the contact form so visitors can leave a name, email, and message when a reply isn’t enough.
- Submissions are stored in WordPress and emailed to the administrator.
- Built-in limits help control chat requests and contact submissions.
- Conversation history gives you context for improving your content and answers.
This is an email contact path. Alpha Chat doesn’t provide a staffed live-chat desk, agent routing, or a ticketing SLA.

Before You Install
The cost, data, and answer-quality boundaries worth knowing.
Is Alpha Chat completely free?
The plugin and lifetime store update key are free. Chat and embedding API usage is paid through your chosen providers. Your hosting still runs the WordPress database and indexing jobs.
Does all data stay on my server?
No. The index and conversation records are stored in WordPress, but content is sent to your embedding provider and messages with relevant context go to your chat provider. Store license and update checks also contact the update service.
Does it answer only from my pages?
No. It prefers curated Q&A, the current page, and retrieved site context, but the current prompt also allows general knowledge when context is thin. Review responses before relying on it for important policy or product details.
Do I need a separate vector database?
No. The default vector store uses your WordPress database. Search cost and indexing time depend on the size of your content and hosting resources. Developers can replace the vector store through a filter.
Will it load on every page?
The floating launcher is opt-in. With it disabled, the widget is loaded for block or shortcode placements. The launcher has separate visibility and offset controls for different screen sizes.
Can visitors reach a human?
Yes, through the optional contact form. It stores the submission and emails the administrator. It is not a live agent inbox or a full help desk.
Make Your Content Easier to Find
Give visitors a place to ask. Keep the knowledge, provider choices, and follow-up under your control.
Start with your best content. Refine the assistant as you learn.
