AI Training

OpenAI’s text embeddings measure the relatedness of text strings.

We use this technology to create a semantic search engine, KnowledgeBase and a chat bot.

To use this feature, you must first create a Pinecone account.

You can think of Pinecone as a long-term external memory for your bot.

info

OpenAI charges a cost of $0.00002 per 1,000 tokens for embeddings.

Assuming that 750 words are approximately equal to 1,000 tokens, let's consider a scenario where you have a website with 1,000 pages, and each page has 750 words.

In this case, the website would have a total of 750,000 words, which translates to 1,000,000 tokens. Therefore, the cost of embeddings for the entire website would be $0.02.

Please note that this is only an approximation. For the precise cost, please refer to OpenAI usage.

You can use embeddings for:

  • Chat Bot - You can use the embeddings feature to create a chat widget that will respond to your visitors’ questions related to your website.
  • Semantic Search - We have a feature called SearchGPT where you can create your own search engine. You can use the embeddings feature to create a semantic search engine. For example, if you search for “dog”, you will get results for “puppy”, “pooch”, “canine”, “hound”, etc. This is because the embeddings feature will find the most similar text strings to “dog”.
  • AI Forms - Our AI forms use embeddings as well, enabling you to create forms that intelligently process and understand the input they receive based on the context of the embeddings. This enhances the interaction capabilities of forms, making them more dynamic and responsive to user input.

Now let's take a look at all the features in detail.

Embedding Models​

Our plugin supports four different embedding models:

ModelProviderDescriptionPerformanceDimension
text-embedding-3-largeOpenAIMost capable embedding model for both english and non-english tasks64.6%3,072
text-embedding-3-smallOpenAIIncreased performance over 2nd generation ada embedding model62.3%1,536
text-embedding-ada-002OpenAIMost capable 2nd generation embedding model, replacing 16 first generation models61.0%1,536
embedding-001GoogleGoogle's most capable embedding modelNA768

You can switch between models under the AI Training - Settings tab.

It's recommended to transition from the older text-embedding-ada-002 to text-embedding-3-small or text-embedding-3-large for enhanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

info

Should you opt to switch your embedding model, remember to reindex all your content. This step is crucial to ensure your bot functions correctly after the model change.

Auto-Scan​

To be able to use auto-scan feature you need to setup a cron job.

Configuring Cron Jobs​

  • Follow the steps outlined in this guide to set up a Cron Job.
  • Ensure that you include the specific PHP command for the Embeddings job in your Cron Job configuration to make it functional.
  • You can find your php command under AI Training page.

Your PHP command may vary depending on your server setup.

For the Embeddings module, you need to set up only one cron job.

Embeddings:

* * * * * php /var/www/html/index.php -- wpaicg_builder=yes

Learn how to setup a cron job here.

This is how my Cron setup looks like.

Once the Cron Job setup is complete, you should see a message stating, “Great! It looks like your Cron Job is running properly. You should now be able to use the Auto Scan."

Configuring the Auto-Scan​

Once you have set up the Cron Job, you can start using the Auto Scan. Here's how:

  • Navigate to the **AI Training - Settings ** page in AI Power.
  • Toggle the Enable Auto-Scan option to Yes. Please note that enabling this option will start scanning your website content. Moreover, every time you create a new post, page, or product, it will be indexed automatically.
  • Check the box for Posts, Pages, and Products.
  • Click on the Save button.
  • Wait for the indexing process to finish.
  • You can track the progress of the indexing in the Auto Scan tab.

Scanning Custom Post Types​

The Pro plan of AI Power offers the ability to scan custom post types.

Once you have upgraded to the Pro plan, you can navigate to the AI Training - Settings tab.

Here, you will find the option Post Types to Scan:. If you have any custom post types, they will be listed here.

For each custom post type, you will find a button labeled Select Fields next to it.

Clicking on this button will open a modal window where you can select fields and assign them labels.

These metadata will be added into the embeddings to deliver better search results.

Using the Auto Scan​

The Auto Scan is a powerful tool that allows you to manage and monitor the indexing of your website's content.

Once your Cron job is set up and running, all your content will be indexed and appear under the AI Training page in the AI Power.

The Auto Scan is divided into three tabs:

  • Indexed: This tab displays a list of pages that have been successfully indexed.
  • Failed: This tab lists the pages that failed to index. There can be several reasons why a page may not index, but the most common issue is related to encoding. If your pages have encoding problems, they may fail to index. To resolve this, you need to clean them up.
  • Skipped: This tab shows a list of pages that have been skipped. The Auto Scan does not index pages if their content is less than 50 characters. Therefore, if you have shortcodes or other content that is less than 50 characters, they will likely not be indexed.

Understanding the Index List​

The index list displays several columns:

  • Title: This is the title of the page, post, product, or custom post type. It is clickable, and once clicked, it will show the embedded content.
  • Token: Estimated token usage.
  • Estimated: Estimated cost. OpenAI charges for embeddings based on the number of tokens, with the rate being $0.0004 per 1K tokens.
  • Source: This shows the type of content that has been indexed (page, post, product, or custom post type).
  • Status: This shows the status of the indexing process.
  • Start: This shows the time when the indexing process started.
  • Completed: This shows the time when the indexing process completed.

Managing Your Indexes​

Under the Action column, there are two buttons:

  • Reindex: This button allows you to reindex the content. This is particularly useful when you have updated a post, page, or product and you want the index to reflect the latest changes.
  • Delete: This button allows you to delete an index.

Through the Auto Scan, you have full control over the indexing process, ensuring your website's content is properly embedded for optimal use by the AI Power plugin.

FAQ​

Maximum Context Length​

What does the error message "This model’s maximum context length is 4097 tokens. However, you requested 4893 tokens" mean?

This error message indicates that the total number of tokens (which include individual words and punctuation) in the content you're trying to generate is exceeding the maximum limit of 4097 tokens allowed by the model. Tokens are the smallest units of meaning that the model can process, and the limit exists to ensure optimal model performance. There are two primary ways to address this:

  • Lower the maximum token value: You can adjust the maximum token value to a lower number in your plugin settings. We recommend setting it to 500-700 tokens for optimal performance without losing the quality of output.
  • Split your content into chunks: If you are dealing with large content, consider dividing it into smaller pieces. Each piece should ideally not be more than 1000 words. This will ensure that each chunk of content remains within the model's token limit, and thus can be processed efficiently.
