Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about AskMason
By default, no: it answers from the page it is placed on, plus that page's supplementary notes, so the answer can always be checked against the page. A page can also answer from the whole site: tick "Answer from the whole site on this page" in its AskMason box. That page's own text still comes first, then the passages from your other enabled pages that bear on the question, and the answer names the page it drew on with a link under it. Give a page a Site-wide priority of Primary in its box to have it consulted before the rest, or Background to have it consulted last; most pages stay Normal, the default, so there is nothing to sort. Only pages the visitor could open are consulted: a password-protected page is used only for a visitor who has entered its password. The Placement tab lists your enabled pages by priority.
The assistant says the page does not cover it and gives the contact email, phone, or both from your settings, whichever you chose to offer. It is told never to guess: it answers only from what the page and the notes contain, and says so when they do not contain the information. The "Take particular care with" setting on the General tab names the subjects where that matters most for your content (it starts as travel documents, visa, medical or health requirements, safety, accessibility, dates and times); edit it for your pages, or clear it to keep the general rule alone.
The Usage & log tab opens with a Content gaps report: every question the assistant could not answer from the page in the last 7, 30, or 90 days, grouped so the same question in different words counts once, most asked first, each with a link into the log. Add the answer to the page or its notes and the gap closes. A digest of the top gaps is emailed weekly (daily or off on the Privacy tab) to an address you choose, or the site's admin email. The digest carries visitors' questions only, never answers or identities, and nothing is sent for a period with no gaps.
Headings, text editors, HTML widgets, and icon lists, in page order. Images, galleries, and other non-text widgets are listed as "not read" in the AskMason box on the page's edit screen, so you can see what the assistant cannot.
The text of every WordPress block that stores its content: paragraphs, headings, lists, quotes, tables, covers, media and text, accordions, tabs, and anything nested inside groups and columns, in page order; classic-editor text is read as paragraphs. Not read: WordPress blocks that fetch their content when the page is shown (latest posts, query loops, post content, synced patterns), blocks from other plugins that render at view time (including everything nested inside them, since such a block may show its contents to some visitors and not others), blocks whose plugin is no longer active, and shortcodes. Everything not read is listed in the AskMason box on the page's edit screen. If something the assistant should know lives in one of those, put it in the supplementary notes.
Yes, two ways. Requests rejected for exceeding a limit are logged but excluded from both. Developers: the askmason_question action fires after every question with the page, the question, the answer, the outcome, and the usage, once the visitor has the answer. Integrations: an outgoing webhook on the Privacy tab posts the same as JSON to an https URL of yours, signed with a secret you set (an HMAC-SHA256 of the body in the X-AskMason-Signature header), with one retry and a failure list on the Usage & log tab. It is off until you set a URL. The payload carries visitors' questions and answers, which may hold personal details; what the receiving system does with them is your responsibility.
Yes. The AskMason box on the page's edit screen has an "Overrides for this page" section: assistant name, intro line, contact email and phone and which to offer, the "take particular care with" topics, the model (within your provider), the document budget, and the questions per visitor per day. Empty means the site setting; a line above the fields says what the page overrides. A shortcode attribute such as title still wins for that placement.
See Editions above. In short: Starter, the style controls, the other providers, CSV export, and settings backup; Pro, answers from the whole site, the Content gaps report and digest, per-page overrides, and the webhook, on up to five sites; Agency, unlimited sites and network activation. The free plugin answers questions from a page with an Anthropic key and is not a trial: it does not expire and nothing in it is locked.
Set a Monthly token budget on the Access & limits tab. Every token the provider reports is counted alike (uncached input, cache reads, cache writes, and output), and when the month's total reaches the budget the ask box disappears from every page, rather than refusing, until the first of the next month (UTC); a visitor who asks through a cached page is told the page cannot answer just now. Editors see a note where the box was. An administrator notice appears at 80 percent and again at 100 percent, once each per month. The budget is in tokens rather than money because providers price them differently: the header and the Usage & log tab show this month's tokens so you can set it from your provider's rate. 0, the default, turns it off. Keep log retention at 31 days or more for the count to be exact, since the month is summed from the log.
Yes. A visitor has to enter the page password before the assistant will answer, and the assistant is never available on a page the visitor could not view.
