Description of Ask My Content – AI Search Chatbot WordPress Plugin
Ask My Content indexes your pages, posts, products, events, and custom post types so visitors can ask questions and get answers from your actual site content, with source links.
Turn your WordPress pages, posts, products, events, and archives into an AI-powered answer engine. Visitors ask questions; Ask My Content answers using your actual site content and shows sources.
Unlike standard content search plugins that rely on keyword matching, Ask My Content uses semantic embeddings and retrieval-augmented generation to return direct answers in full sentences.
Supports Gutenberg, Elementor, Avada, and WooCommerce content.
Key Features
* Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) – answers are grounded in your actual site content.
* Uses AI for embeddings and completions (via a secure Node.js backend).
* Change tracking – edited pages/posts can be auto re-indexed immediately, or queued for manual re-indexing.
* Deleted content removal – auto notifies the backend when pages or posts are trashed or permanently deleted.
* Lightweight – no heavy admin UI or visual layout tools, just the essentials.
* Flexible – works with posts, pages, other content types, and header/footer.
* Website Admin can see Questions and Answers history, and related details.
How it works
1. After activating the plugin, go to Dashboard -> Ask My Content and press “Start Indexing” (or run wp amc index) to send your site content to the backend. Indexing must be completed before the chat can answer questions.
2. Enable the floating launcher to show the chat site-wide; or add the Ask My Content block to an existing or new page (or place the ask_my_content shortcode) and publish/update the page so the chat interface has a front-end location.
3. When a visitor asks a question, the chatbot retrieves the most relevant snippets from your indexed website content.
4. AI generates an answer based on that content.
After you edit content, enable Automatically re-index modified pages, posts, and content to sync changes in the background, or re-run indexing manually from Dashboard -> Ask My Content (or via wp amc index).
Deleted posts are sent to the backend automatically when they are trashed or removed.
Simple, usage-based pricing
Installing the Ask My Content WordPress plugin is free, and every new account includes $5 in free credit so you can try it on your own website.
There are no monthly subscription fees. You pay only for actual AI usage.
Website content indexing
Ask My Content indexes your website content so the AI can use it to answer visitors’ questions.
Indexing costs $1 per 1 million tokens.
The number of tokens depends on how much text your website contains, not simply on the number of pages. Based on actual websites using Ask My Content, initial indexing is often only a few dollars. For example, a site containing 2 million tokens would cost about $2 to index.
When your website changes, Ask My Content does not normally re-index the entire site. Only new or modified content needs to be indexed again.
Updated content can be indexed automatically when it is saved in WordPress, or you can request indexing manually from the Ask My Content plugin dashboard.
Visitor questions and answers
Each visitor question uses a small amount of credit to find relevant information in your website content and generate an answer.
A typical question and answer normally costs less than $0.01 (one US cent).
The exact cost varies depending on the question, the amount of relevant website content used, and the length of the answer.
You can see usage and cost for individual questions in the plugin’s History tab.
$5 free credit included
Every new installation includes $5 in free credit.
Because both indexing and individual questions generally cost very little, this is usually enough to index a website and test the chatbot with real questions before purchasing additional credit.
There is no monthly subscription and no commitment. Additional credit is needed only when the included balance is used.
What content is supported for indexing?
Ask My Content is designed to index the main readable text of your site content.
Currently supported:
* Standard WordPress pages and posts
* Gutenberg block content
* Elementor content in many common setups
* Avada content in many common setups
* WooCommerce product content, including product descriptions, short descriptions, price, SKU, weight, dimensions, and attributes
* Other public post types, if enabled in plugin settings
In general, the plugin reads the main post content the way WordPress normally renders it, using the standard content pipeline (apply_filters('the_content', ...)).
That means it usually works well with content that lives inside the main editor content area, but it may still miss text that comes only from:
* headers or footers
* sliders, popups, and announcement bars
* heavily customized builder widgets
* content injected from external sources or loaded later with JavaScript
If a page is important for search quality, open it in WordPress and make sure the main text is actually stored in the page, post, or product content itself before re-running indexing.
