Swayam AI Chatbot

Why "Swayam"? Swayam (स्वयं)—an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "self." Your content. Your knowledge. Autonomously intelligent. Swayam AI Chatbot is a WordPress plugin that provides an intelligent chatbot powered by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. It indexes your WordPress content and uses AI to answer visitor questions based on your actual posts, pages, and custom post types. Features

• RAG-Powered Q&A - Answers questions using your actual WordPress content as context
• Automatic Content Indexing - Syncs posts, pages, and custom post types to a vector database
• Auto-Sync on Publish - Automatically updates the index when content is published, updated, or deleted
• Customizable Chat Interface - Use the shortcode or floating widget
• Admin Dashboard - Easy configuration with connection testing
• REST API - Programmatic access to the chatbot
• Rate Limiting - Built-in protection against spam
