Port8 AI

Port8 is an AI chat assistant that answers your visitors’ questions using your own content — your pages, posts and, if you run WooCommerce, your product catalog.

This plugin puts the assistant on your site. Without it you would paste a script tag into your theme or into a snippet plugin; with it, you connect the site once and the widget is there.

What this plugin does

• Loads the Port8 chat widget on your site’s front end.
• Lets Port8 record which assistant this site is linked to.
• Reports the plugin’s own version and connection state so the Port8 dashboard can show whether it is installed.

What this plugin does not do

• It stores no passwords and no API keys.
• It never sends anything to Port8 on its own — no page content, no orders, no visitor data.
• It adds no scheduled tasks, no database tables, and no tracking.

External service

This plugin is the front end for Port8, a hosted AI assistant service, and requires a Port8 account.

Your visitors’ browsers load the chat widget script from https://port8.ai, and the chat itself runs against Port8’s servers. That means Port8 receives what a visitor types into the chat, in order to answer it.

Separately — and only after you explicitly approve it in your own WordPress admin — Port8 reads your published content through WordPress’s REST API so the assistant can answer from it.
That access is granted through WordPress’s own application-password screen and is revoked the same way, under Users → Profile → Application Passwords. This plugin is not involved in it and never handles those credentials.
