The readme says:

3. Add your OpenAI key
   3.1. Go to Davix AI Engine → Chatbot → OpenAI Integration.

4. Paste your key into this field.
5. Click Save Changes at the bottom.

According to the docs, all AI features use your own OpenAI key.

2. Selecting an OpenAI Model #

From your documentation:

• Free:
  • Model fixed to gpt-4o-mini.
• Pro:
  • You can choose any supported chat-capable model via the UI.

Step-by-step:

1. In the same OpenAI Integration tab, locate the model field or dropdown.
2. In Free:
   • The model will be locked to gpt-4o-mini; you cannot change it from the UI.
3. In Pro:
   • You can select from available models in a dropdown (the plugin uses OpenAI chat models).

3. Setting the System Prompt and Temperature #

The OpenAI Integration tab also includes:

• system_prompt – used as the base instruction for the AI.
• temperature – controls how creative vs deterministic the AI should be.

Step-by-step:

1. In OpenAI Integration, find the System Prompt field.
2. Enter the instructions you want the chatbot to follow (for example, tone, type of answers).
3. Find the Temperature field.
4. Set a numeric value (docs mention default values like 0.6 for forms AI, but for Chatbot temperature is configurable in Chatbot settings).
5. Save changes.

The plugin then uses these values when calling OpenAI (e.g., handle_chat_request() uses openai_api_key, openai_model, system_prompt, and temperature).

4. Enabling Site Search Grounding #

The documentation explains that OpenAI Integration can optionally ground responses in your site content:

Available toggles:

• enable_site_search
• search_posts
• search_pages
• search_products (some options Pro-only when saving)

Step-by-step:

1. In OpenAI Integration, enable the site search toggle if present.
2. Choose which content types should be searched:
   • Posts
   • Pages
   • Products (if WooCommerce and Pro-level search are available)
3. Save changes.

When a user asks a question, the plugin can perform site search and pass relevant excerpts as context to OpenAI, improving accuracy.
