The Convoworks GPT WordPress Plugin is an extension package for the Convoworks WP. This package is a bridge to the OpenAI API, allowing WordPress site owners to harness the power of GPT-based models directly within their websites. The plugin can either be part of the Convoworks core or function as a separate plugin, with that decision pending.
Service Templates
GPT Example Chat
This template provides a simple and interactive chat experience. It includes a basic system prompt and, additionally, loads up to 10 pages into the chat context using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). This approach makes it a ready-to-use chatbot for small business websites with a few pages, helping users find information that might otherwise be hard to locate.
The template also includes a simple GPT function example that can generate a random number.
This template is a solid base for building your next public-facing chat. For more details, check out A Dead Simple RAG Setup for WordPress: AI Chatbots for Small Websites
GPT Site Admin
The GPT Site Admin template is designed as a robust AI assistant to help manage your system. In addition to basic instructions, this bot has access to PHP’s call_user_func() function, enabling it to fetch and manipulate posts, create files, and more.

Functions
The Convoworks GPT WordPress Plugin registers several expression language functions to enhance interactions:
tokenize_string( $text, $stopWords=null): Processes a given string by removing HTML, converting it to lowercase, stripping punctuation, and tokenizing it by spaces. It removes common stop words, making the string suitable for use with the embeddings API.serialize_gpt_messages( $messages ): Serializes an array of GPT API messages into a human-readable string format.unserialize_gpt_messages( $strMessages ): This function deserializes a human-readable conversation string back into an array of messages in GPT API format.split_text_into_chunks( $text, $maxChar=30000, $margin=1000 ): Splits a large text document into smaller chunks at natural language boundaries, making it suitable for vector database indexing. If the last chunk is smaller than the margin, it is appended to the previous chunk to avoid small, incomplete segments.
Key Features
The package introduces several new and enhanced components:
- GPT Chat Completion API Element & GPT Chat Completion API v2: OpenAI API wrapper elements tailored for chat completions with advanced dynamic capabilities and added contexts.
- System Message & Conversation Messages: Components essential for managing and maintaining the context of conversations with GPT Chat Completion API v2.
- Chat Function: Function definitions enhancing GPT Chat Completion API v2 component.
- GPT Embeddings Element: A tool for fetching vector representations of given input through the OpenAI Embeddings API.
- GPT Moderation API: Ensures generated content aligns with guidelines by validating input through the OpenAI Moderation API.
In addition to the new components, the plugin offers a service template named GPT Example Chat that includes pre-configured setups, demonstrating the practical application of these elements.
