★ Product 1 of 4

The free WordPress plugin
that ships the whole stack.

Most AI plugins do one thing: content or a chatbot or a CRM. WAIPress is the first free plugin that ships the full operations stack together — so the chatbot knows your products, the CRM knows your chats, and your automations know all three.

Provider-agnostic. Bring your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint or a local Ollama. No data is proxied through third-party services.

Why not MySQL?

Powered by HeliosDB

The hosted flavors replace MySQL with HeliosDB — a Rust database that's 12x smaller, 13x less RAM, with native vector search and encryption built in. The free plugin runs on whatever MySQL you already have, with HeliosDB-Nano as an optional accelerator once your knowledge base grows past ~10k chunks.
