AI chat widget for WordPress & WooCommerce with multi-channel messaging (WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram) and order sync.

== Description ==

**Thikaa AI** connects your WordPress site to the Thikaa platform — an AI customer-communication engine trusted by 500+ businesses across the MENA region. Drop an intelligent chat widget on your site, then let the same AI brain answer your customers everywhere they message you: your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram — all from one unified inbox.

= Smart AI that actually feels human =

Thikaa runs on the world's leading AI models — **Claude Opus 4.5 (Anthropic)**, **GPT-4o (OpenAI)**, and **Gemini 3 Pro (Google)** — and automatically picks the right one for each conversation. Your bot understands context, remembers the chat, speaks naturally in **Arabic & English** (and matches your customer's dialect), and answers product, order, and support questions on its own — 24/7, with no scripts to write.

* **Multi-model AI** - Powered by Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini. The bot routes each message to the best model for speed and quality.
* **Voice that talks back** - The bot can reply with real voice notes — it actually speaks to your customers.
* **AI that answers phone calls** - On WhatsApp, the AI can pick up and handle voice calls.
* **Reads images** - Customers can send a photo of a product or receipt and the bot understands it.
* **Knowledge Base & RAG** - Trains on your own content so answers stay accurate and on-brand.
