StoreGauge AI for WooCommerce

StoreGauge AI for WooCommerce adds a private AI assistant to your WordPress dashboard. Ask questions like “How did sales trend last week?”, “Which products are running low?” or “Who are my best customers?” — and get answers from your live store data, with automatic charts, quick prompt chips and a short daily briefing on issues that deserve attention.

Bring your own key: connect Google Gemini, OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible provider — including a custom endpoint like GMI Cloud or your own local server. Your API key and your store data travel directly from your server to the provider you choose: no middleman service, no data passing through us.

Safe by design: the assistant is read-only — it can analyze revenue, orders, stock, customers, coupons and reviews, but it can never modify anything. Customer emails are masked, every AI access is written to an audit log, and everything is OFF until you enable it.

Also included: read-only store abilities for the WordPress 7.1 Abilities API, so external AI assistants (via an MCP adapter) can query the same data — with the same masking and audit trail.

StoreGauge AI connects your WooCommerce store to the AI assistant of your choice — safely.

• AI chat sidebar in wp-admin — ask about your shop in plain language. Answers stream in live, and the AI calls the read-only store tools itself with its own arguments: “compare last 7 days vs last 30 days” just works. Pick the model per chat from a dropdown with capability badges (Vision, Tools, context size), attach a product photo or a text file, and every conversation is stored in your own database. Uses YOUR API key with any OpenAI-compatible provider (OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Mistral, Ollama, LM Studio…). Your key and your data never pass through us.
• Read-only store abilities for the WordPress Abilities API / official MCP adapter: revenue summaries, recent orders, low-stock products, top sellers, product prices with unit costs (so the AI can reason about pricing and margins). Every ability is OFF by default and re-checks permissions on every single call.
• Local audit log — every AI-visible action is recorded in your own database, with customer contact details masked and automatic pruning after 30 days (filterable).

External services

This plugin contacts one external service: the AI provider you choose and configure in the settings. Nothing is sent anywhere until you enable a feature and paste your own API key.

When you use the chat sidebar (or connect an MCP client), your own server sends requests directly to the provider base URL you configured, for example:

• Google Gemini (https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai) — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy
• OpenAI (https://api.openai.com/v1) — Terms of Use, Privacy Policy
• OpenRouter (https://openrouter.ai/api/v1) — Terms of Service, Privacy Policy

What is sent with each chat request:

• Your chat message and the recent conversation history (last 10 messages). If you attach a product photo or a text file, that attachment is included too — the AI provider needs it to answer.
• The results of read-only store tools the AI requests: revenue summaries, order lists (customer contact details masked), low-stock products, top sellers, product prices and costs. This data is included in the request so the provider’s AI model can answer.
• Your API key, as an authorization header, sent only to the base URL you configured.

The plugin author receives nothing: no telemetry, no analytics, no proxy server. The API key is stored in your own site’s database and never leaves your server except to call the provider you configured.

Privacy

Store data goes directly from your server to the AI provider YOU configure. The plugin author receives nothing.
