My Dream for AI

I am thrilled about the endless opportunities that AI brings. But, at the same time, I can’t help but hope for a world where AI is used for good, and not just to dominate the web with generated content. My dream is to see AI being utilized to enhance our productivity, empower new voices to be heard (because let’s be real, not everyone is a native speaker or may have challenges when it comes to writing), and help us save time on tedious tasks so we can spend more precious moments with our loved ones and the world around us.

I will always advocate this, and I hope you do too ??

Cost effective AI solution

Great product, helpful support ??

Exactly What We Needed

masih32 November 16, 2024

Having tried numerous AI chatbot from WPBot, Tilda and Botpress, I eventually settled with AI Engine. It has all we need, including the connection to our Ollama server (Llama 3.2). That allows us to control costs while making sure we do not hit the user conversations through the roof —win, win! AI Engine does the job for you — it is simple, powerful and flexible. Fantastic work by the team!

Amazing Plugin and support
