AI-powered chat widget with floating and embedded display modes. Answers questions using the current page as context.

Description

Lumination AI Chatbot adds an intelligent chat assistant to your WordPress site. The chatbot reads the content of the page the user is viewing and uses it as context for answers — making it ideal for educational sites, documentation, and tutoring platforms.

Requires Lumination Core (free) — install it first.

Two Display Modes

Floating widget — a purple chat bubble appears in the bottom-right corner of every page. Click it to open the chat panel. Toggle this on or off in the settings.

Embedded panel — place [lumination_chatbot] on any page or post for a full, always-open chat panel inline. Perfect for a dedicated "Chat with AI" page.

Both modes can be active at the same time.

Features

• Page-aware AI — the chatbot fetches and reads the current page as context for every response
• Custom instructions — set a persona or domain focus in the settings
• Conversation history — up to 12 turns sent with each message for coherent multi-turn chats
• Per-user rate limiting — prevents API abuse
• Access control — restrict via the lumination_core_can_submit filter
• Usage logged to the Core analytics dashboard

Getting Started

1. Install and activate Lumination Core, configure your API credentials.
2. Install and activate Lumination AI Chatbot.
3. Go to Tools → Lumination → Chatbot to customise appearance and behaviour.

Installation

1. Install Lumination Core first and configure your API credentials.
2. Upload the lumination-chatbot folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
3. Activate the plugin via the Plugins screen.
4. Go to Tools → Lumination → Chatbot and configure appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use both floating and embedded at the same time?

Yes. Enable the floating widget in settings and place [lumination_chatbot] on a specific page. Each instance is independent with its own conversation history.

How does the chatbot know what page the user is on?

When the user sends a message, the plugin fetches the current page URL server-side, strips navigation/headers/footers, and includes up to 8,000 characters of the page text in the AI prompt.

Can I restrict who can use the chatbot?

Yes — use the lumination_core_can_submit filter with capability 'chatbot'.

I upgraded from v1 — will my settings migrate?

Yes. On first activation, the plugin automatically migrates lmc_* option names to the new lumination_chatbot_* names. API credentials are copied to Lumination Core's settings if they are not already set there.
