I wanted visitors to be able to ask my site a question and get a real answer, not a search box. Most AI chat plugins solve this by building a vector database and syncing embeddings, which felt like a lot of machinery for a personal site.
So the plugin does something simpler. It reads everything published here, posts, pages, the timeline, media appearances, ACF fields, and sends the whole thing as context to Claude on each conversation. Content gets cached for 12 hours and clears automatically the moment I publish something new.
It runs on Claude Haiku, the cheapest model that still gives good answers for this kind of thing. Rate limiting keeps usage predictable, and I get an email if it spikes. Ask it something the content doesn’t cover and it says so, rather than guessing.
It’s live on this site right now, bottom right corner. Ask it something.
