AI chatbot for Caldera Forms: ask your legacy entries in chat
SleekAI reads Caldera Forms form definitions and stored entries from your database so admins can answer entry questions in chat instead of paging through the legacy entries screen. Bring your own AI key and run it from WP Admin without changing the existing setup.

A chatbot that reads your Caldera Forms entries
Caldera Forms stores forms in cf_form_entries and field values in cf_form_entry_values, with one row per field per submission. SleekAI can be wired to both so the bot knows which form an entry belongs to, every field on it, and the actual values the visitor submitted, even on installs where Caldera is left in place for legacy entry data.
For sites that have moved on to a newer form plugin but still keep Caldera around for historical records, that means the archived entries become searchable in plain English. An ops lead asks how many contact entries the old form got in 2022, the bot returns the count broken out by quarter. A support agent asks for an old submitter's contact details, the bot pulls the matching entry with name and email. None of that needs a one-off SQL query or a CSV export from a deprecated UI.
Multibot lets a separate public bot run on the same site with no access to the entries tables, so legacy personal data stays admin-only. Display conditions scope the entry-reading bot to administrators or a custom support role, and conversation logging records every prompt and answer inside WordPress so support leads can audit accuracy.

Features
What SleekAI gives you for Caldera Forms
Legacy-aware
The bot reads Caldera form definitions and stored entries directly, so historical submissions stay queryable even when newer forms have moved to a different plugin.
Date and field filters
Ask for entries from a specific year, quarter, or field value and the bot returns a count or a list with submitter details, no SQL queries against the legacy tables required.
Role-gated
Display conditions lock the entry-reading bot to administrators or a custom support role, so legacy personal data stays invisible to public visitors on the site.
Use cases
Where teams use this for Caldera Forms
Historical lookups
Pull up an old submission from years back without writing a SQL query or exporting the entries table. The bot answers by name, email, or date range across every legacy Caldera form.
Customer support
When a long-term customer references a contact they made years ago, look up the original submission in chat. Useful for confirming the history of a request or complaint quickly.
Migration audits
Before retiring Caldera entirely, audit the legacy entries by asking the bot for totals, top submitters, and date ranges, so the migration team knows what to archive and what to drop.
The bigger picture
Why a plain-English layer matters for Caldera Forms
Caldera Forms is no longer actively developed, but on plenty of long-running WordPress sites it still holds years of valuable historical data. Teams that have already moved newer forms to a different plugin tend to leave Caldera installed just so the old entries remain accessible. The catch is that the legacy dashboard is awkward to use, and most modern team members never learn it.
The entries are there, but reaching them takes a SQL prompt or a CSV export that nobody wants to maintain. A plain-English layer over the same tables flattens that work. Ask for the busiest year on an old contact form, ask whether a specific name ever submitted in 2021, ask for the top submitters by volume, and the bot answers from real rows in cf_form_entries and cf_form_entry_values.
SleekAI does not migrate the data on its own, that's a separate exercise, but it makes the historical archive useful again until that exercise happens. Combined with role-scoped display conditions and conversation logging, the same install also keeps legacy personal data out of public widgets, so the audit lives inside WP Admin instead of in a spreadsheet on someone's laptop.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for Caldera Forms
Yes. SleekAI reads the existing cf_form_entries and cf_form_entry_values tables directly through its data-source wizard, so the integration does not depend on Caldera receiving updates. As long as the tables are present in WordPress, the bot can query them.
Only if you configure it that way. Display conditions can lock the entry-reading bot to administrators or a custom support role, and SleekAI also supports user-capability checks. Any public bot on the same site is a separate chatbot under multibot, with no access to the legacy tables.
SleekAI does not migrate data on its own, that's a job for a dedicated migration tool. What it does provide is a clean audit layer over the existing Caldera entries, so the team can confirm counts and surface high-value historical records before deciding what to migrate or archive.
Push older entries into an OpenAI Files vector store of up to one gigabyte per file and let the assistant retrieve only the entries relevant to a question. The data source can still serve recent records, so common queries about the last year stay snappy.
Yes. Multibot lets you run several chatbots on one install, each with its own system message, model, data sources, and display conditions. The admin bot reads Caldera entries, while a public widget answers pre-sales questions with no access to legacy submissions.
Yes. SleekAI ships a JS API and a PHP embed, so you can launch the bot from a button on an internal page, a hook, an admin notice, or a custom screen. That lets you wire historical lookups into a support dashboard instead of only relying on the floating widget.
Caldera Forms stores upload URLs as part of the entry value rows, and SleekAI reads them like any other field. The bot can list filenames per entry and reference how many uploads a given submitter attached. It does not read the file contents themselves unless you wire that up explicitly.
Bring your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter. Usage and billing stay on your provider account, and each chatbot can pick a different model, so a heavyweight historical-lookup bot can use a stronger model than a lightweight public form-help bot.
