WPCraftEngineer Product Finder for WooCommerce adds a floating chat widget that helps shoppers discover products through natural language.

It can work in two modes:

Keyword mode: no external AI account required. The plugin uses on-site keyword matching and WooCommerce product data.
AI provider mode: connect OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic to improve intent detection and reply quality.

With WooCommerce product recommendations enabled, shoppers can ask things like:

“Show me products under $50”
“I need a gift for a runner”
“What are your newest arrivals?”
“Do you have anything on sale?”

If WooCommerce recommendations are disabled, the widget can still act as a general store assistant using your configured welcome message, fallback message, and custom instructions.

Notes

WooCommerce is optional, but product recommendations require WooCommerce to be installed and active.
API keys are stored in your WordPress options table.
The plugin stores short chat history in transients so follow-up questions can work for the configured number of days.

External services

This plugin can connect to third-party AI services only when the site administrator selects a provider and enters an API key.
