WebExpertDev AI Customer Support Assistant vs Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries

Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries turns every post into an AI-aware destination. It generates an inline AI summary readers can expand next to the share buttons, and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants. Among the first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API: configure your AI provider once in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra accounts. Inline AI Summary Two-tier cascade: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 6.1+ install. Choose your AI model and mode: pick the provider and model used to generate summaries, or leave it on Automatic to use a fast, cost-effective model instead of the newest, most expensive one. Set how generation behaves too: AI with extractive fallback, AI only, extractive only, or disabled. Paragraph or bullet-list format: show the summary as prose (one paragraph per sentence) or as a concise bullet list, with configurable length (1-5 sentences or points). Collapsible inline block with native , data-nosnippet and Schema.org CreativeWork microdata so search engines treat it as derived content, not competition. Editor controls in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit manually, regenerate on demand, hide per post (independently from the buttons). Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client. Async generation via WP-Cron. [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode also available. Sharing Social networks: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email, Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest. AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking back to your URL. 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation, drag-and-drop ordering. SEO-friendly ( or , auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins). Analytics Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown, period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV export. Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. VigIA cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible. Why use it? Cite your source naturally: when readers expand the summary or share to an AI assistant, your URL travels with the content. Reach every audience: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place. Future-proof: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients. External services This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when the inline AI Summary feature is enabled and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available). All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external service. AI Summary generation When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks “Regenerate” or “Generate AI summary”), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()) to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally by WordPress core. What is sent: Post title (plain text) Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text) A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary What is not sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses, user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers. Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates): OpenAI — Terms of use · Privacy policy Anthropic — Terms of service · Privacy policy Google AI — Terms of service · Privacy policy If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request is made. How to opt out Set AI Summary generation to Disabled in the AI Summary tab of the plugin settings. Or choose Extractive only to keep summaries fully local — zero external requests, ever. Or choose AI only while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated. The visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button is off by default; if enabled, you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks never reach an external provider. Sharing buttons The social and AI sharing buttons render as / elements that open the respective destination only when the visitor clicks them — your server does not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button clicks runs locally on your own site. Advanced Usage Shortcode parameters The [ayudawp_share_buttons] shortcode accepts several parameters: buttons: Comma-separated list of buttons to display – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon"] – Available: twitter, linkedin, facebook, telegram, whatsapp, email, raindrop, reddit, bluesky, line, mastodon, threads, pinterest, claude, chatgpt, google_ai, gemini, grok, perplexity, deepseek, mistral, copilot, qwen, meta_ai style: Visual style to use – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="outline"] – Options: minimal, brand, outline, dark, custom, icons-only size: Button size preset – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons size="compact"] – Options: compact, normal, large, fluid show_icons: Show icons with text (for non-icons-only styles) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_icons="true" style="brand"] – Options: true, false icon_style: Icon corner style (for icons-only mode) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] – Options: circular, square alignment: Button alignment – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons alignment="center"] – Options: left, center show_title: Show or hide the section title – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="false"] – Options: true, false title_text: Custom title text – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_text="Share this content"] title_style: Title HTML element – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_style="h3"] – Options: h3, h4, h5, h6, span ai_title: Section title for AI buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI"] social_title: Section title for social buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons social_title="Share on social media"] Combined examples: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"] [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"] [ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"] AI summary shortcode The [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone collapsible block. Useful when you want to place the summary somewhere other than where the share buttons are auto-inserted, or when you have buttons disabled but still want to surface the summary. post_id: Render the summary of a specific post – Example: [ayudawp_aiss_summary post_id="123"] – Defaults to the current post in the loop when omitted The shortcode outputs nothing when the post has no stored summary, so it is safe to drop into templates without conditional wrappers. CSS Customization Guide The plugin uses CSS custom properties for all brand colors. You can override these in your theme to change any platform color globally: Override platform colors: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #ff0000; –ayudawp-chatgpt: #00ff00; } Main container classes: – .ayudawp-share-buttons – Main wrapper container – .ayudawp-buttons-container – Direct container for all buttons – .ayudawp-title – Title element before buttons – .ayudawp-section-title – Section title with extra top margin – .ayudawp-aiss-centered – Applied when centered alignment is enabled Button classes: – .ayudawp-share-btn – Base class for all buttons (both and elements) – .ayudawp-icon-wrapper – Container for button icons – .ayudawp-button-text – Text label inside buttons – .ayudawp-icon – SVG icon element Style modifier classes: – .brand – Brand colors style – .outline – Outline style (brand-colored borders) – .minimal – Minimal style – .dark – Dark background style – .custom – Custom colors style – .icons-only – Icons-only mode – .with-icons – Text buttons with icons – .circular – Circular icon buttons – .square – Square icon buttons Size modifier classes: – .size-compact – Compact button size – .size-large – Large button size – .size-fluid – Fluid width buttons Platform-specific classes (on buttons): – .twitter, .linkedin, .facebook, .telegram, .whatsapp – .email, .raindrop, .reddit, .bluesky, .line – .mastodon, .threads, .pinterest – .claude, .chatgpt, .google-ai, .gemini, .grok – .perplexity, .deepseek, .mistral, .copilot – .qwen, .meta-ai – .ai – Applied to all AI platform buttons Example: Change Claude button color: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #your-color; } Example: Change all AI buttons background: .ayudawp-share-buttons .ayudawp-share-btn.ai { background: #f0f0f0; } Example: Hide specific button: .ayudawp-share-btn.facebook { display: none; } Customize or remove separator lines: The main container has top and bottom border lines. You can hide either of them from the settings (Share Buttons → Separator lines) with no code. CSS is only needed to replace them with your own style: .ayudawp-share-buttons { border-top: 2px dashed #ccc; border-bottom: 2px dashed #ccc; } Important notes: – The use of !important is no longer needed for most overrides – Use CSS custom properties to change brand colors cleanly – Test on both desktop and mobile viewports – Icons-only buttons have fixed dimensions (44px default, 36px compact, 54px large) Technical Details System requirements WordPress 6.1 or higher (7.0+ for AI-generated summaries) PHP 7.4 or higher (compatible up to PHP 8.4) Theme compatible with wp_head() and wp_footer() Performance features Modular file structure for maximum efficiency Selective loading of resources (CSS/JS only where buttons display) No external dependencies Optimized CSS with custom properties and minimal specificity Lightweight SVG icons (under 1KB each) Minimal database impact: analytics queries are cached (5 min) and compatible with persistent object cache (Redis, Memcached) Smart responsive layouts REST API for lightweight analytics data retrieval Developer features Clean, documented code WordPress coding standards compliant Hook-based architecture Modular class structure in /includes folder Extensible icon system using Simple Icons Translation ready Comprehensive shortcode API SEO-friendly markup options Post meta for individual exclusions Centralized platform color definitions Support Need private support or custom development?

WebExpertDev AI Customer Support Assistant for stores using WooCommerce exposes lightweight, token-protected REST/OpenAPI tools that compatible AI support platforms can use for customer-safe product and order support. It is not a chatbot and does not include an AI model. It provides WooCommerce OpenAPI tools, setup assets, generated instructions, and admin configuration screens for stores that connect those tools to a compatible chat or AI assistant platform. Tawk.to compatibility: this plugin is Tawk.to Ready today and works with Tawk.to AI Assist compatible OpenAPI setup. It is also OpenAPI-compatible by design for AI assistants that support OpenAPI tool calling, HTTPS REST endpoints, and bearer authentication. Disclaimer: This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Tawk.to. All third-party trademarks belong to their owners. No external AI API calls, remote services, external trackers, account code, cart links, autoship actions, or write actions are included in the Free scope. Free Features Bearer-token REST security with hashed token storage. Public health and OpenAPI schema endpoints. Optional token requirement for product tools. WooCommerce product search with short-lived transient caching. Product availability by SKU or product ID. Verified order status requiring order number plus billing email or ZIP. Customer-safe status mapping for built-in and custom WooCommerce statuses. Customer-safe tracking summaries from supported local tracking metadata. Admin-controlled privacy-safe logs with enable/disable, clear logs, and retention cleanup. Tawk.to Ready setup prompt, knowledge block, test questions, and checklist. Generic OpenAPI-compatible setup guidance for compatible AI assistants. Optional Tawk widget embed using property ID and widget ID fields. Config export/import for non-secret plugin settings. AI behavior mode and industry preset scaffolding for prompt/knowledge generation. Free Scope Boundaries The Free plugin does not create carts, create reorder links, capture leads, process payments, modify orders, process refunds, send emails, send webhooks, or connect to external CRM, automation, shipping, or AI services. Developer extension points are present for compatible custom implementations, but those integrations are not included in the Free plugin. Optional Pro Add-On The Free plugin is fully usable on its own for safe product support, product availability, verified order status, tracking summaries, OpenAPI setup, and assistant-ready support configuration. For stores that want to turn support conversations into customer-click actions, WebExpertDev AI Customer Support Assistant Pro is an optional paid add-on hosted outside WordPress.org. Learn more about the optional Pro add-on on the WebExpertDev website. Pro adds separate paid workflows through separate Pro code: Lead Capture Secure Cart Links Secure Reorder Links Product Discovery AI Search Keywords Knowledge Builder Advanced Tracking support Pro secure links are signed, expiring, customer-click review links. They do not create orders, process payments, issue refunds, or secretly change carts. Free remains fully usable without Pro and does not include Freemius, payment, telemetry, account code, or Pro source. Third-Party Services This plugin does not call third-party APIs by itself and does not include a hosted AI service. If a site administrator enables the optional Tawk widget embed, visitor browsers may load the widget script from https://embed.tawk.to/ using the property ID and widget ID entered by the administrator. That widget service is provided by Tawk.to. Review Tawk.to’s privacy policy and terms before enabling the widget: Privacy policy: https://www.tawk.to/privacy-policy/ Terms of service: https://www.tawk.to/terms-of-service/ If a site administrator manually imports this plugin’s OpenAPI schema into Tawk.to AI Assist or another compatible OpenAPI-based AI platform, that platform may call this site’s REST endpoints using the bearer token the administrator provides. The plugin does not create a Tawk.to account, transmit API tokens to Tawk.to automatically, transmit tokens to any AI platform automatically, or imply any affiliation with Tawk.to. Security Model Protected endpoints use Authorization: Bearer TOKEN. Tokens are shown only immediately after generation and stored hashed. Order status is always protected and requires order number plus billing email or ZIP. The plugin does not return payment details, full addresses, internal notes, customer IDs, user IDs, private meta, fraud data, risk data, or backend routing. The optional Tawk widget embed uses safer ID-based fields for the Tawk property ID and widget ID. The plugin generates the widget URL from those IDs and does not accept arbitrary JavaScript embed code. Config exports exclude API tokens, token hashes, logs, order data, customer data, and secrets. Imports are sanitized and do not import secrets. Plugin settings are stored in the wcast_settings option. Privacy-safe logs are stored under wp-content/uploads/webexpertdev-ai-customer-support-assistant/logs/. Product search and generated prompt/knowledge caches use wcast_ transients when present. Uninstall cleanup is controlled from the plugin admin. By default, logs and generated caches are removed on uninstall, while settings are retained unless explicitly enabled for deletion. The plugin never deletes WooCommerce orders, products, customers, or order meta. Minimum Requirements PHP 7.4 or newer. WordPress 6.2 or newer. WooCommerce 7.1 or newer for live tools. If WooCommerce is inactive, the admin setup remains available and tools return unavailable responses. Platform Scope The Free plugin implements WooCommerce REST/OpenAPI tools under /wp-json/wc-ai-support/v1/. It is Tawk.to Ready today and OpenAPI-compatible by design for AI assistants that support OpenAPI tool calling and bearer authentication. Platform behavior varies, and this plugin does not claim official support for every AI platform.
