Privacy
When you chat, this plugin may send relevant site context and your message to the AI provider you connected (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). Review your provider’s privacy policy. This plugin does not send data to a Codiecool cloud service.
External services
This plugin relies on third-party AI providers that you connect under Settings Connectors (WordPress AI Client). Chat, tool use, and optional image generation run through the provider you choose. The plugin does not hard-code a single vendor API URL; it uses the WordPress AI Client / Connectors APIs.
Typical providers you may connect (depending on which connector plugins you install):
-
OpenAI — chat completions and (when the connected models support it) image generation via the WordPress AI Client. Data sent: your prompts, relevant site context the agent selects, and for images the image prompt. Sent when you chat or confirm an image-generation action.
Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy -
Anthropic — chat via the WordPress AI Client when that connector is active. Data sent: prompts and selected site context when you chat.
Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms
Privacy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy -
Google (AI / Gemini connectors) — chat (and image models if offered by the connector) via the WordPress AI Client. Data sent: prompts and selected site context when you chat.
Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms
Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
You choose which providers to install and which API keys to store. Keys are managed by WordPress Connectors / the AI Client, not by a Codiecool server.
Public URL fetch (fetch-url ability): When you ask the agent to read a public documentation URL, WordPress may request that URL over HTTPS/HTTP and return extracted text. No API key is sent to those sites.

FAQ
-
Do I need WordPress 7.0?
-
Yes. Site Assistant depends on the Core AI Client, Abilities, and Connectors APIs introduced in WordPress 7.0.
-
Where do I put my API key?
-
In Connectors (provider plugin + API key). You can manage keys from Site Assistant Settings Connectors or the full WordPress Connectors screen.
-
Can Site Assistant change my site by itself?
-
Destructive or write actions are proposed in chat and require your Confirm (and may require admin approval for restricted users). Keep Write actions enabled only if you want that workflow.
-
What about MCP / Developer tools?
-
Settings Developer shows Coming soon in this release. MCP Server, MCP Client, and plugin bridges will ship in a future update.
-
Why is voice input not working?
-
The browser Speech Recognition API requires HTTPS (or localhost). On Local WP, enable SSL and open wp-admin over
https://. -
Does Site Assistant work without WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WooCommerce-related tools appear only when WooCommerce is active.
