Overview

About this plugin

A visitor searches your site for “comfortable shoes for hiking” and gets nothing back. WordPress search matches words, not meaning, so anything phrased differently to your product titles returns an empty page.

Savanto replaces that search. It understands what people are asking for, adds a chat assistant that answers from your own content, and suggests related products. You do not need an OpenAI account, an API key, or any technical setup.

Install the plugin, activate it, and click Connect to Savanto. You sign in or create a free account, approve the connection, and your site is live. There is no key to copy.

Savanto runs the AI on its own servers, so you never manage tokens, usage limits, or billing with OpenAI, Anthropic, or anyone else.

How Savanto Differs From Other AI Plugins

Most WordPress AI plugins are toolkits. They connect your site to an external AI provider, but you bring your own API key, configure embeddings, choose models, and build the experience yourself. That suits developers.

It does not suit a store owner who wants better search.

Savanto is a finished product rather than a toolkit. There is no API key from OpenAI, Anthropic or Google to supply, no third-party AI account to manage, no vector database to stand up, and no prompts or models to choose. Everything runs on Savanto’s own infrastructure, so there are no usage bills arriving from providers you did not sign up with.

Savanto uses different models for different jobs, each chosen and tuned for the task: ranking search results, holding a conversation, matching products. You get that work without configuring any of it.

Other AI plugins need your own keys and some developer knowledge before they do anything. Some support platforms sell AI as an add-on from around $29 a month. Savanto gives you search and chat on a free plan that does not expire, with nothing else to set up.

Paid plans start at $9 a month when you need higher limits.

Semantic Search

Replaces WordPress search with search that reads intent. Someone types “something warm but not too bulky” or “gifts under $50 for someone who likes cooking” and gets sensible results. Typos, vague descriptions and full questions all work without tuning.

Chat Assistant

An assistant on your site that answers questions from the content you have synced, suggests products, and points people to the right page. It works from your own material, so it is not guessing at what you sell.

Recommendations

Suggestions drawn from what a visitor is actually looking for, rather than from cookies or browsing history. Related products, posts and pages that a category-based list would have missed.

Live Agent Handoff

The assistant recognises a question it should not answer alone and hands the visitor to your support team, so nobody reaches a dead end.

Automatic Sync

Publish a page, product or post and Savanto picks it up. Nothing to re-index by hand, and search results stay current as your content changes.

Built for WooCommerce

Savanto reads your whole catalogue: titles, descriptions, prices, categories and custom fields. Visitors search in their own words and still find the right product, which means fewer searches that end in nothing.

Privacy

Savanto indexes only publicly available content. It does not touch private posts, drafts, user accounts or personal data.

Performance

Search runs on Savanto’s infrastructure with global edge delivery, so it adds no load to your WordPress hosting. Responses typically return in under 100ms. Enterprise plans include a contractual uptime SLA with service credits.

ai). When visitors use the chat:

  • Their questions are processed by Savanto’s AI
  • No personally identifiable information is collected
  • Chat conversations are not stored unless you enable analytics in your dashboard

MCP Server (WooCommerce)

If you enable the MCP Orders domain for WooCommerce:

  • Order lookups are performed locally on your WordPress server
  • Order data stays on your server and is not sent to Savanto
  • The Savanto cloud only routes requests to your server

How Order Lookups Work:

When a customer asks about their orders through the chat:

  • The question is analyzed by Savanto’s AI in the cloud
  • If it’s an order question, Savanto sends a request back to YOUR WordPress site
  • Your WordPress plugin looks up the order using WooCommerce
  • Only the relevant order summary is returned to complete the AI response

The full order database is never accessed by or copied to Savanto servers.

Data Retention

  • Synced content remains in Savanto’s cloud until you disconnect or delete it
  • Disconnecting removes all your indexed content from Savanto servers

External Service

This plugin connects to the Savanto cloud service to provide its search and chat features. The plugin and cloud service are developed by the same team. By using this plugin, you agree to Savanto’s:

  • Terms of Service

GDPR Compliance

Savanto is designed with privacy in mind. Since no personal user data is collected or transmitted, standard GDPR consent mechanisms for visitor data are not required. However, you should update your site’s privacy policy to disclose that content is processed by a third-party AI service.
