Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Oliver, builder of YakWP — a free, self-hosted AI chatbot plugin for WordPress/WooCommerce.
The problem I kept hitting: cloud chatbot SaaS charges $50-100/month, routes your visitors' conversations through their servers, and often still can't answer a question about MY actual site.
YakWP flips that. You install it on your own site and connect your own API key — Google Gemini's free tier covers most sites at $0/month, or use OpenAI, OpenCode Go, or OpenRouter. It answers from your own content using RAG and semantic search. No vendor SaaS fee. No third-party server between you and your visitors.
The free tier is fully functional — not a trial:
RAG — answers grounded in your own posts and pages
Semantic search — matches by meaning, not just keywords
Lead capture — asks for an email on buying intent
4 chat modes + quick replies + dark mode
Webhook export to n8n, Make, Zapier
On WooCommerce, it reads price, SKU, and category from your catalog, so shoppers get real answers about what you sell.
Pro is optional — from €3/month or €64 one-time lifetime.
What's the one question your site's users ask that you wish your chatbot answered better? Ask me anything — I'm here all day.
