External Services
This plugin requires an external AI service to function. All natural language query processing is handled by the HeyTrisha AI Engine.
Service Provider:
– Service Name: HeyTrisha AI Engine
– Default API URL: https://api.heytrisha.com
– Provider: HeyTrisha Technologies
Purpose & Functionality:
The external service processes natural language questions and generates safe SQL queries for your WordPress database. It uses OpenAI’s GPT models to understand your questions and translate them into database queries.
What Data is Transmitted:
The plugin sends the following information to the API service:
– Your natural language questions (e.g., “Show me today’s orders”)
– WordPress database schema (table structure and column names only – NO actual data)
– WordPress site URL (for site identification and response routing)
– API authentication key (for secure authorization)
– OpenAI API credentials (stored securely on the API server during initial setup)
What Data is NOT Transmitted:
– Customer payment information or credit card data
– User passwords or authentication tokens
– Actual database records or content
– Personal identifying information (unless you specifically include it in your question)
– WordPress admin credentials
When Data is Transmitted:
– During initial plugin setup (one-time credential registration)
– Each time you submit a question via the chatbot interface
– When updating plugin settings
– NO automatic or background transmissions occur
Service Terms & Privacy:
– Terms of Service: https://heytrisha.com/terms-of-service
– Privacy Policy: https://heytrisha.com/privacy-policy
– Data Processing Agreement: Available upon request
Self-Hosting Option:
Advanced users can configure a custom API endpoint in the plugin settings to host their own instance of the HeyTrisha AI Engine. The engine source code and deployment instructions are available separately.
Required for Functionality:
This external service is mandatory for the plugin to work. The plugin acts as a lightweight client that delegates all AI processing to the external service, ensuring compatibility with WordPress.org hosting requirements.
