Introducing ChatGPT WordPress Plugin: Add AI to Your Website in Minutes

Hello world, I’m Ali, founder of Key Medium. I spent the weekend tinkering with the ChatGPT API and created a simple WordPress plugin.

If you’re looking to add an AI chatbot to your WordPress website quickly and easily, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, I’ll introduce you to ChatGPT, a powerful WordPress plugin that leverages OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Turbo model to create a sophisticated reasoning system. With ChatGPT, you can create a chatbot that can answer your customers’ questions, provide support, and more.

Installing ChatGPT on Your Website

Installing ChatGPT on your website is quick and easy. First, download, install, and activate the plugin on your website. You can get the plugin for free from the WordPress community once it’s approved, or download it at no cost:

Next, get your OpenAI API token by visiting their website. If you need help, refer to their documentation or ask ChatGPT. You can also experiment with their Playground if you’re building a similar plugin.

Creating a System Role

Use OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 Turbo model with associated content set in the ChatGPT WordPress plugin to create a system role’s content payload, which will make a POST request to the Chat API. This instruction prompt sets the context for your chatbot, and it can be customized to your needs. For example, it can be: “You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. As an AI assistant representing Key Medium, a digital agency specializing in web design and digital marketing for mission-driven organizations. Answer as concisely as possible. Knowledge cutoff: July 2021. Current date: April 3rd, 2023.”

Setting Up the API Endpoint

Set the API endpoint to the right one (use chat, not completions), like Chat from OpenAI, and save it in the WordPress plugin settings. Next, add a shortcode to any page or place it in your theme. The chatbot will then float in the bottom right-hand side of your webpage, ready to assist your customers and prospects. You can experiment with it and tweak your instruction to the system.

The Power of ChatGPT: A Breakthrough in AI

While AI chatbots have been around for a while, the recent breakthrough in AI reasoning systems, like OpenAI’s GPT-4, has drastically improved their functionality. ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) that uses natural language processing (NLP) to generate text, translate languages, write creative content, and answer questions informally. With AI, things move very fast, and we need to understand its limitations as we operationalize it in our workflows to boost productivity and impact.

Understanding the Reasoning System

The declarative software paradigm that GPT’s reasoning system follows is a significant breakthrough. This system prompts the chatbot to do what you want as an output rather than using software with clicks, drags, swipes, and taps. This difference is well-explained by the co-founder & CTO of HubSpot, who released ChatSpot and is investing millions in the space.

Chat UX and Voice User Interface: Both Depend on NLP

AI Chatbots have been around for a while, and so has Voice Search. The BIG difference now is their reasoning engine — which has drastically improved, especially with OpenAI’s GPT-4 recent release.

With its natural language understanding, ChatGPT provides relevant answers that can be based on our brand voice and tone and the information we feed to it. It can, for example, take related blog posts on your WordPress site or your organization’s pages and discern that clearly and concisely to your user’s input. Simply put, this offers a new way to personalize digital experiences to make them more meaningful and impactful. The utility of ChatGPT is exciting, and the possibilities for how it can positively impact our work are endless.

Use it to generate text, translate languages, write creative content, and answer your questions informally. Think of it as a “calculator for words,” as tech researcher Simon Willison puts it.

With AI, weeks are like months or years, because things are moving quickly in this space. Google’s Bard was released less than two weeks ago, and how it impacts SEO will be huge to watch and adapt to. So, watch it with me, use it, experiment, and share what you’re building with me on LinkedIn or Twitter!
