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.
