Rapls AI Chatbot

描述

Rapls AI Chatbot adds an AI assistant to your WordPress site that runs on your own API key. There is no monthly SaaS fee and no third party storing your conversations. You connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter, and the chatbot answers from your own content.

It is built for developers, agencies, and technical site owners who want control over the model, the data, and the cost. If you do not have an API key yet, you can start for free: OpenRouter offers free models with no credit card required, and the plugin guides you through it on first setup.

What it does

  • Bring your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter, switchable per site.
  • Site learning: indexes your posts and pages so the bot answers from your content.
  • Knowledge base: add Q&A or upload PDF/DOCX files, with priority over general answers.
  • RAG hybrid search: combines keyword and semantic retrieval for grounded replies.
  • Web search: lets the bot pull current information when configured.
  • MCP tools: exposes 7 Model Context Protocol tools, so agents such as Claude or ChatGPT can read and act on your site through conversation.
  • Usage dashboard: tracks conversations, messages, and API cost.
  • Gutenberg block: drop the chatbot into any page or post.

Self-hosted and private

Conversations and keys stay on your own WordPress install. You are billed by your AI provider directly, so cost is transparent and there is no markup.

Free and Pro

The free version covers the full chatbot, site learning, knowledge base, RAG, MCP, and the usage dashboard. Pro adds lead capture automation and RAG hybrid search fine-tuning.

Get started without paying

On first setup the plugin shows a guided path to an OpenRouter free key (no credit card). Paste the key, run the connection test, and the chatbot works immediately. You can switch to your own OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini key at any time.

External Services

This plugin connects to the following external third-party services. No data is sent to any service until you configure an API key and enable the feature in the plugin settings. Each service requires the site administrator to create an account and obtain API credentials. By using these services, you agree to their respective terms and privacy policies listed below.

1. OpenAI (GPT models): AI Provider

Used when you select OpenAI as your AI provider. User messages and optionally site content are sent to generate AI responses.

2. Anthropic (Claude models): AI Provider

Used when you select Anthropic Claude as your AI provider. User messages and optionally site content are sent to generate AI responses.

3. Google (Gemini models): AI Provider

Used when you select Google Gemini as your AI provider. User messages and optionally site content are sent to generate AI responses.

4. OpenRouter: AI Provider

Used when you select OpenRouter as your AI provider. OpenRouter is a unified API gateway that routes requests to various AI models.

5. Google reCAPTCHA v3 (Optional)

Used only if you enable reCAPTCHA in the plugin settings for spam protection. The visitor’s IP address and interaction data are sent to Google for verification.

6. LINE Messaging API (Pro Add-on, Optional)

Used only if you enable the LINE integration via the Pro add-on. Connects to the LINE Messaging API for chatbot-to-LINE messaging.

Cross-Site Embed

The plugin includes an optional embed loader script (embed-loader.js) for embedding the chatbot on external websites via an iframe. This script does not load any external CDN resources or third-party scripts. It creates an iframe pointing back to your own WordPress site, and all data processing occurs on your server.

Data Transmitted to External Services

  • User messages: Chat messages entered by visitors (sent to the configured AI provider only)
  • Site content (if Site Learning is enabled): Excerpts from your published posts/pages (sent to the configured AI provider)
  • Knowledge base (if configured): Custom Q&A entries you create (sent to the configured AI provider)
  • IP address (reCAPTCHA only): Sent to Google for spam verification

Data Storage

  • Conversation history: Stored locally in your WordPress database (can be disabled)
  • Visitor IP: Stored as SHA-256 hash (not plain text) for rate limiting
  • Retention: Configurable auto-deletion period (default 90 days)

User Controls

You can disable these features in the plugin settings:
* Conversation history saving
* Site content crawling/learning
* Google reCAPTCHA verification

常見問題

Do I need an API key?

Yes. Rapls runs on your own API key so your data and cost stay under your control. If you do not have one, the plugin guides you to a free OpenRouter key on first setup, which needs no credit card.

Can I use it for free?

Yes. The plugin itself is free, and you can run it at no cost using OpenRouter free models. Free models have rate limits, so for production traffic you may want a paid model or your own provider key.

Can I use multiple AI providers?

Yes. Configure multiple providers in Settings and switch between them. WordPress 7.0 Connectors API also supports unified key management.

Does it crawl my entire site automatically?

Yes. Enable “Site Learning” in Settings to crawl published content (posts, pages, custom post types, WooCommerce products). Configure crawl scope and frequency.

Can I embed on external sites?

Yes. Configure cross-site embed in Display Settings. Use iframe or script loader.

How do I set up WordPress 7.0 Connectors API?

In Settings > AI Settings, Connectors UI appears if WP 7.0 is active. Register your Claude API key once; all Connectors-compatible plugins access it.

Is there conversation history?

Yes. Data Management tab lets you save/review all conversations. Configure retention period (30/90/365 days or indefinite).

Troubleshooting: chat not appearing?

  • Verify API key is valid (test in Settings)
  • Check Gutenberg block or Display Settings (enable sitewide)
  • Review Security Diagnostics for rate limit, IP detection, or consent issues

無料版でも応答回数による制限などもなく、Gemini APIの無料枠でも動くため、ランニングコストがかからない。開発者が日本の方ということもあり、私には分かりやすく機能も充実しており、かゆいところに手が届く感じがある。 無料版でもナレッジ登録ができるため、FAQを学習させることで基本的な質問対応は可能ですが、Pro版のサイト学習と自動学習はとても便利。会話ログから利用者の潜在ニーズを拾ってWebサイトのコンテンツを充実させたり、FAQを充実させることでSEOやLLMOにも効果的で、コンテンツが充実すればその分、チャットの精度も上がるという良い循環ができる。 他にも便利なツールがたくさんあるので、試していきたい。

Got it running in a few minutes. Clean UI, works as described. A few settings were a bit confusing at first, but nothing major.

修改日誌

1.9.0

  • Added: “Start for free” onboarding panel that appears on the Settings page when no provider API key has been saved. Walks new users from zero to a working chatbot in about a minute using an OpenRouter free API key (no credit card required). Key is encrypted (AES-256-GCM), provider auto-set to OpenRouter, and a concrete free model id (e.g. openai/gpt-oss-120b:free) is picked from the live /v1/models catalog and saved as the active model.
  • Added: Automatic 429 fallback for free models. When the active :free model is throttled upstream (Venice / NVIDIA / etc), the active model is marked as throttled for 10 minutes, an alternative :free model is picked from the catalog, persisted to settings, and the chat request is retried once. Paid models pass quota errors through unchanged.
  • Changed: Plugin description and search tags repositioned from “Claude-native RAG chatbot” to “self-hosted, BYOK, multi-provider” so the listing reflects the actual feature set (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenRouter). Two new FAQ entries: “Do I need an API key?” and “Can I use it for free?”.
  • Hardened: OpenRouter key validation now requires the sk-or- prefix and hits /v1/auth/key (real auth check) instead of /v1/models (which returns 200 for any string). The existing per-provider Test Connection button shares the fix.
  • Fixed: Rate-limit countdown badge no longer wipes the paper-plane SVG icon (the icon is restored when the cooldown ends), and the remaining-seconds text is now high-contrast white on the brand-color disc instead of blending with the disabled-gray background.
  • Added: Free-version manual (Japanese and English) gains a “Quick Start (run it for free)” section explaining the onboarding flow and rate-limit notes.

1.8.2

  • Documentation: refreshed the plugin description, feature list, FAQ, and search tags. No functional changes.

1.8.1

  • Fixed: “Undefined array key link_target” PHP warning emitted by the chatbot widget on sites where the link-target option had never been saved.

1.8.0

  • Added: WordPress 7.0 “AI Client (Connectors)” provider — chat routes through wp_ai_client_prompt(); API keys and models are managed in Settings Connectors instead of the plugin.
  • Added: Curated cross-provider model dropdown, plus an automatic one-shot retry without temperature for models (GPT-5 / o-series) that reject a custom value.
  • Fixed: API-key-decryption “please re-enter” notice now fires only when the active provider’s own key is broken; the wpai path skips the plugin-side key pre-check.
  • Tested up to: WordPress 7.0.

1.5.6

  • Response Language setting fix
  • Recommended for all users

1.5.0

  • Major update: Gutenberg block, Abilities API, language auto-detect, OpenRouter

1.4.0

  • Web search, cross-site embed, PDF/DOCX knowledge, vector embedding hybrid search

1.3.0

  • Response caching, audit logs, conversion tracking, offline messages

1.0.0
