System Requirements & Dependencies

This article explains what environment Davix AI Engine expects and which services it integrates with, based only on your plugin metadata and documentation.

1. Minimum WordPress and PHP Versions #

The plugin header (readme.txt) defines the basic requirements:

• Requires at least WordPress: 6.0
• Tested up to WordPress: 6.7
• Requires PHP: 7.4 or later

Step-by-step, this means:

1. Your WordPress installation should be version 6.0 or higher.
2. Your PHP version on the server must be 7.4+.
3. The plugin has been tested up to 6.7, which is the latest version mentioned in your readme at the time.

2. WordPress Components Used by the Plugin #

The documentation makes it clear that Davix AI Engine uses core WordPress APIs:

• REST API – for chat endpoints, LLM index, AI Writer, Telegram bridge.
• Admin menus – to add Davix AI Engine and its submenus.
• Shortcodes – specifically

• Meta boxes – e.g., “Davix LLM Index” meta box on posts.
• AJAX – especially for Forms module actions and admin interactions.

From a practical standpoint:

• REST must work normally on your site (no plugins blocking it).
• Admin access is required to configure the plugin (capability manage_options is used for menus).

3. External Services Required #

3.1. OpenAI API #

Most AI features (chatbot, forms AI replies, comment auto-replies, AI Writer) require a valid OpenAI API key:

• The plugin uses your own OpenAI key.
• You configure the key in the Chatbot → OpenAI Integration tab.
• The default model for free is gpt-4o-mini.

There is no extra logic described in the docs beyond that: the plugin calls OpenAI with your chosen model, prompt, temperature, etc.

3.2. Telegram Bot API (Pro Only) #

The plugin integrates with Telegram Bot API for:

• Telegram live chat / human handoff.
• Telegram alerts for Forms module and Comment/Review auto-replies (Pro).

You must:

• Provide a Telegram bot token in the settings.
• Provide chat IDs or channel usernames where messages or alerts will be sent.

3.3. Freemius Licensing (Pro) #

The plugin uses Freemius:

• All Pro-only code paths check my_fs()->can_use_premium_code().
• If this returns false, Pro fields are cleared or ignored, and Pro modules are disabled.

This means Pro features are tightly bound to the Freemius license state.

4. WooCommerce (For Review Auto-Replies) #

The auto-reply module for reviews uses WooCommerce reviews (product reviews are just comments with type review and post type product).

If WooCommerce is not active, the product review integration will not apply.
