When a visitor is looking for a product, the bot answers with product cards instead of prose. Switch it on under Design → Widgets → Shopping Assistant.
What a visitor can do
- Describe what they need in their own words — “a good chair for computer work”.
- Narrow it down: “under 200”, “in black”, “with armrests”.
- Refer back: “the second one”, “compare those two”, “show me cheaper”.
- Ask why: the bot names a best pick and gives a reason.
Settings
- Cards per answer — three to six.
- Exclude categories — gift cards, spare parts, anything you do not want recommended.
- Allow adding to the cart — off means cards only link to the product page.
The bot may only choose from products your catalog returned for that question, and every price on a card is read from WooCommerce. A product id the model invents is discarded before the answer is sent.
