Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about KnowScapes AI Client
No. KnowScapes issues a free Community key, which is enough to run the widget. If you would rather use OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter, you use your own key there and are billed by them.
KnowScapes (paid plan). It is technically identical to the free entry — same service, same address, same agents — but it is a separate entry with a key slot of its own, so a paid key is not pasted into a field labelled as the fair-use tier, and switching between the two does not overwrite either key. The free-key request form only appears while the free entry is selected.
The KnowScapes service declines further messages until the next period, and visitors see a short notice that the assistant is unavailable for now. The plugin itself is unaffected: nothing is disabled, no setting is lost, and the widget resumes on its own once the allowance is back. The reason, and a link to the current figures, appear on the plugin's settings screen while it lasts. If the allowance is too small for your site, enter your own OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key instead — the plugin works the same way with any of them. A reply stops in the middle of a sentence The reply ran into Maximum reply length on the settings screen. That setting
happens to be, which reads as the assistant breaking mid-thought. Raise it — the default is 4096 tokens, roughly 3,000 words, and up to 32768 is accepted. Only the tokens actually used are billed, so a generous limit costs nothing by itself. The plugin now notices this rather than leaving you to spot it by reading the chat: the reply carries a short neutral line telling the visitor it was cut short and that they can ask for the rest, and the settings screen shows which limit was hit and suggests a higher one. That notice clears itself once the limit is raised.
Use the shortcode [knowscapes_ai_chat] in a post, a page, a block or a template. Add a height if the default of 480 pixels does not suit: [knowscapes_ai_chat height="600"]. Each shortcode is a chat of its own, so two on one page do not share a conversation, and the floating launcher — if you leave it switched on — is a third. To have the chat only where you place it, set Where the launcher appears to the shortcode-only option.
Three ways, and they combine. Where the launcher appears can restrict it to the content types you choose, which means single entries of those types — archives, the blog index and search results are not single entries and never match. Never on these entries takes a list of post or page IDs and suppresses the launcher there whatever the rule above says, which is what you want for a checkout or a contact page. And the launcher can be hidden on screens narrower than 600 pixels, for sites where a chat panel would cover the page on a phone. A shortcode placed inside an entry always works, exclusions included — placing it there is itself the decision.
With page context on, the title, address and plain text of the page the visitor
or {content}, up to the character limit you set, and travel to the provider with each message. {site_name} is also available. Only fully published, public content is ever read. A draft, a scheduled or pending post, a private one, a password-protected one, a revision, an autosave and anything of a post type that is not publicly queryable are all refused, and the text is taken from the stored content with shortcodes stripped rather than executed. This matters because the page is identified by an ID that comes from the visitor's browser, so it has to be treated as something anyone can change: the checks are what stop the assistant being asked about post 123 and answering out of an unpublished draft. It is off by default, because it changes what leaves your site. Switching it on also adds a paragraph to the privacy policy text the plugin suggests under Tools → Privacy.
Set Who may use it to signed-in users only. That both hides the chat and refuses the request behind it, so it is not bypassed by someone who knows the REST route. Signed-in users also get their own rate limit, counted per account rather than per address — which is fairer as well as more accurate, since colleagues behind one office router no longer share a single budget.
An empty box asks the visitor to think of something. Starter questions give them two to four buttons instead; they cost nothing until one is clicked, and they also steer people towards what your agent answers well. Set them under Appearance, one per line.
