Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Sentient AI
Does this work without an API key?
Yes! With Local Brain enabled, the chatbot answers FAQ questions locally without any API key. For AI-powered responses beyond FAQs, you need an API key from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or another supported provider.
What makes this different from other chatbot plugins?
Everything. Sentient AI has Local Brain (zero-cost local processing), WordPress Autopilot (site management through chat), Sentient Memory (continuous learning), Empathy Engine (emotion-aware responses), and Glass Box (transparent confidence scoring). No other chatbot plugin has all of these.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes! The chatbot works alongside WooCommerce. You can train the AI on your product pages and answer customer questions instantly.
Can I use it without sending data to external APIs?
Yes! Enable Privacy Mode in settings. The chatbot will only use your local FAQ database and never send data to OpenAI, Claude, or any external service.
Does it slow down my website?
No. The chatbot loads asynchronously in the footer. Local Brain assets (Fuse.js + local-brain.js) are only loaded when enabled and total ~8KB.
How does Local Brain work?
Local Brain uses Fuse.js for fuzzy search across your FAQ database. When a user asks a question, it searches locally in the browser first. If it finds a good match, it returns the answer without any API call.
Can I customize the chatbot's appearance?
Yes. You can change the welcome message, chat position (left/right), colors via CSS, and toggle confidence scores, source links, and sentiment indicators.
