Content-aware AI chatbot for WordPress. Bring your own API key, answer from site content, and improve with vector search.

== Description ==
KimaAI brings modern AI features to WordPress by connecting your site to AI providers (like OpenAI) and exposing them through an easy-to-configure chatbot and a growing set of AI tools.

== With KimaAI you can: ==
* Build a customizable chatbot with model/provider selection, content awareness, quick actions, and an optional attention popover.
* Add a vector database search tool and multilingual embeddings to power smarter, language-aware answers.
* Collect chatbot feedback to understand response quality and improve your on-site experience over time.
* Use a setup wizard to get started quickly, plus a settings system designed to be maintainable and extensible.
* Extend KimaAI via developer hooks/filters to register and control custom tools and tool execution.

KimaAI is built to stay flexible: it works for non-technical users who want a powerful chatbot, and it also provides hooks and internal APIs for developers who want to integrate AI deeper into their workflows.

* More features coming soon!

== My Vision for AI ==
AI is incredible, no doubt about it. It's changing everything—from the way we work to the way we create. But for me, AI isn't just about churning out endless content or automating everything for the sake of it. I want to see AI being used thoughtfully—as a tool that actually helps people.
I dream of an AI-driven world where creators can focus on their ideas instead of struggling with words, where language barriers don't hold anyone back, and where tedious work is handled for us so we can spend more time on what really matters—our passions, our families, and just enjoying life.

I'll always push for AI to be used in a way that empowers rather than overwhelms. Hope you're with me on this! 💡💙
