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.<\/p>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n
