hi, I'm Taras (chat/messaging and AI bots)
Hi, sorry about the delay. Yes so this can be adjusted via prompt setting in the admin panel. Most of businesses or consultants sell services or products, so the default prompt setting tells it to offer the website owner's product or services where relevant. That can be easily changed to say, for example, our website is about helping people learn new things. But I get it that you are sceptical in regards to AI bots, and I agree that it is not a magic solution to everything. I will delete this demo but will be happy to create another one for a commercial project if you have any you'd like to test it on. Thank you, this is helpful!

hi, I'm Taras (chat/messaging and AI bots)
Yes this was the reason they didn't approve us initially but we are going through a 2nd or 3rd iteration now. Have removed dependencies and other items they were concerned about. We have a chat server that has to be connected to our infrastructure (XMPP, websockets) so it can't work without that. Also it's a React build with some dependencies. Source code is here: https://github.com/dappros/ethora-wp-plugin

hi, I'm Taras (chat/messaging and AI bots)
Yes so this product is basically a RAG bot. RAG = Retrieval Augmented Generation so this means it enhances an LLM-powered AI bot with additional information retrieval techniques so it can work within the context of your business. The way it works is: 1. You provide your website's URL (either via our admin panel or via a wordpress plugin) 2. System indexes your pages. For example I just tried it with aerin.co.uk and it found 115 pages. 3. It converts your pages in vector embeddings format so it kind of adds additional layer of memory for the LLM, so in essence you get your own AI bot, knowledgeable about your business specifics. 4. You add the widget code to your website (either via HTML/Javascript code or via WP plugin). 5. Your visitors can ask questions and it will respond, but it will be better than ChatGPT (bare OpenAI API) because it has this RAG layer that has memory about your business. I'm still trying to figure out who will be the best target customers profile for us. When I demonstrated this to small businesses they like yeah awesome, let's use this. However I don't see this adding much value for them or their visitors. Like if the website is 3-5 pages, you can easily find things there without any AI bot. It seems that medium to large businesses, with 200-300 pages websites, would benefit from this. Basically this allows visitors to ask questions in human language and find answers quicker without having to read and navigate all that. Let me know what you think, any feedback is appreciated. I can host a copy of your website on github pages temporarily to demonstrate how it works or you could try yourself at ethora.com if you like, just sign up for a free account, add website to index and copy the widget code to a local copy of the website, or even simpler just test the widget from the admin panel. You can delete the app later. Thanks!

Custom HTML5 Javascript video player (problem with rewind)
Greetings all, I'm trying to build a custom front-end for a home security camera project (which I later plan to open-source and share with others if it turns out to be useful). Project employs Raspberry Pi that only record video when movement is detected. The challenge is to overlay multiple video fragments over 24h timeline; this requires a custom video player control. This archive uploaded to Dropbox (7 Mb) is an attempt at that, it almost works but I cannot figure out how to make rewind work properly. During the 1st video (robot playing AC/DC) you can rewind by clicking anywhere in the video. After it reaches the green circle where 2nd video starts, the rewind is broken and clicking anywhere on 1st or 2nd video in the timelime only rewinds to the beginning of the respective video. Please disregard the ugly UI, this will be updated with professional design if we manage to fix the custom video control bit. Will be grateful for your advice, also happy to pay for consulting here and/or display you as contributor once github repository is made public.
