详情介绍:

Your catalog usually has the right product. Shoppers just can’t find it with dropdowns and keyword search. Virelo adds a conversational shopping assistant to your WooCommerce store. A shopper types something like “a rain jacket for hiking, under $80” and Virelo answers with real products from your indexed catalog — including a short reason for each match, the live price, the current stock status, and a working link to the product page. Every recommendation is grounded. The AI model can only choose from products Virelo retrieved from your database, and price and stock are verified against WooCommerce right before the card is rendered. No invented products, no dead links, no stale prices. This plugin is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Automattic or WooCommerce. How it works

Index — Virelo builds a searchable index of your products in your own WordPress database, in batches, in the background.
Retrieve — a shopper question is turned into a filtered, ranked shortlist using price, stock, attributes, keyword signals, and embedding similarity.
Ground — only that shortlist is handed to the language model, so answers cannot drift outside your catalog.
Verify — product identity, price, and stock are re-checked live before the recommendation is shown.

What shoppers get

Plain-language search instead of filter stacking
Multi-turn chat that keeps context — budget, colour, size, occasion, or “show me something else”
Clarifying questions when the request is too vague to answer well
Match reasons so the recommendation is explainable, not a black box
Live price and stock at render time
Optional voice input using the browser Web Speech API
Add to cart directly from a recommendation for simple, in-stock products

What merchants get

Bring your own AI provider — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, LongCat, OpenRouter, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or WordPress AI Client connectors on WordPress 7.0+
No external vector database — hybrid retrieval runs inside your WordPress database
Optional local embeddings so you can run retrieval without paying for an embeddings API
Parent or variation indexing so size and colour rows can be matched individually
Analytics for shopper queries, matches, and click-through
Unmatched demand insights — see what shoppers asked for that your catalog could not answer, then buy or write accordingly
Tunable retrieval — result count, similarity threshold, and candidate pre-filter limit
Abuse-protection rate limits for anonymous and logged-in visitors
Background indexing via Action Scheduler, so large catalogues do not block admin
Privacy tooling — integrates with WordPress personal data export and erase

Place it anywhere

Floating bubble across the site
Search bar in a hero, header, or any section
“Ask Virelo” button that opens the assistant
Full embedded chat panel
Gutenberg block, plus shortcodes: [virelo type="search"], [virelo type="button"], [virelo type="panel"], [virelo type="floating"]

Styling and branding Set your own widget title and accent colour so the assistant matches your theme. The “Powered by Virelo” attribution is optional and off by default — it appears only if you deliberately switch it on. Privacy first Virelo does not phone home. Outbound requests go only to the AI provider you configure, optionally to WordPress AI connectors on your site, and optionally to a webhook URL you set. Nothing is sent until you save credentials and a feature is actually used. See the External services section for a full per-provider breakdown.

安装:

Upload the plugin ZIP via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, or install from WordPress.org.
Activate the plugin (WooCommerce must be active).
Go to WooCommerce → Virelo.
Choose your AI provider, enter your API key, and save — or configure a WordPress AI connector on WordPress 7.0+.
Click Reindex Catalog and wait until indexing finishes.
Visit the storefront — the floating assistant appears when enabled, or place the block or a shortcode.

升级注意事项:

1.0.1 Documentation and plugin directory artwork only. No settings changes and no reindex required. 1.0.0 Fresh identity and storage keys. Re-enter your API key and reindex the catalog after updating.

常见问题:

Do I need an AI API key?

You need either an API key from a supported provider, or a WordPress AI Client connector configured on your site (WordPress 7.0+). Embeddings can also run locally, so retrieval does not have to depend on a paid embeddings API.

Which AI providers are supported?

OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, LongCat, OpenRouter, and any OpenAI-compatible base URL you enter. On WordPress 7.0+ Virelo will prefer a configured WordPress AI Client connector for chat when one is available.

Do I need Pinecone, Weaviate, or another vector database?

No. Retrieval is hybrid and runs inside your existing WordPress database, so there is no extra infrastructure to host or pay for.

Can the assistant recommend a product that does not exist?

No. The model can only select from the candidate products Virelo retrieved from your catalog, and each recommendation is re-verified for identity, price, and stock before it is displayed.

Does it work with variable products?

Yes. You can index parent products or individual variations, so requests that hinge on size or colour can match the right variation row.

Will it slow down my store?

Indexing runs in the background in batches via Action Scheduler rather than during page loads. The assistant loads on the storefront and calls your configured provider only when a shopper actually asks something.

Who pays for AI API usage?

You do — requests use your provider API key or your site’s AI connectors. Configure the abuse-protection rate limits under WooCommerce → Virelo to keep unexpected traffic in check.

Does this plugin phone home?

No. Outbound requests go only to the AI provider (or custom API base) you configure, optionally to WordPress AI connectors on WordPress 7.0+, and optionally to a webhook URL you set. Nothing is sent to the plugin author’s servers.

What data is sent to the AI provider?

Product titles, descriptions, and related catalog text may be sent when indexing/embeddings run. Shopper prompts and short catalog snippets may be sent when Virelo answers a query. This happens only after you save credentials and use those features.

Is “Powered by Virelo” shown on the storefront?

No, not by default. Attribution is optional and stays off until you enable Show “Powered by Virelo” attribution under WooCommerce → Virelo → Settings.

I added products but the assistant does not mention them

Run Reindex Catalog under WooCommerce → Virelo, or wait for the background queue to pick up the changes. New and edited products are queued automatically.

Which shortcodes are available?

[virelo type="search"], [virelo type="button"], [virelo type="panel"], and [virelo type="floating"].
