Chat

Chats is a chat with your configured AI models inside WordPress. Open it from Chats below AI in the sidebar, or with New chat on AI’s start screen. It needs at least one API key; until one is stored, the message field reads “Add an AI provider key to start…”.

Conversations

Every chat is saved as you write and belongs to you: other users do not see your chats. Sending the first message of a new chat gives it a short title, written by the model, and adds it to the sidebar, where a search field filters your chats.

The toolbar above an open chat has these actions:

  • New Chat starts an empty chat.
  • Rename changes the chat’s title.
  • Duplicate copies the whole chat into a new one titled "Copy: " and the original title.
  • Delete removes the chat and its messages.

Choosing a model

The model selector in the message field lists the models of every provider with a stored key and your custom models, with a search field. A new chat starts with the default model chosen under Settings > Chat, or with the first model listed when none is chosen; an existing chat continues with the model it last used.

Working with replies

A finished reply offers these actions:

  • New chat from here copies the chat up to that reply into a new chat, so you can take the conversation another way and keep the original.
  • Regenerate removes the reply and everything after it and asks the model again.
  • Delete from here removes the reply and everything after it. The first reply of a chat does not offer it.

You can stop a reply while it is being written. A reply that failed or was stopped offers Retry.

Images from the media library

The attach button in the message field opens the WordPress media library, where you can choose one or more images. They are attached to your next message and sent to the model with it, so use a model that accepts images.

Sharing

The share button in the message field opens Share chat. Share now uploads the chat as it is to SleekWP’s share service and adds a link to the list; each link opens the shared chat read-only on this site’s AI screen. Delete share removes a shared copy. Sharing needs an active license, and a share is a copy: messages you add later are not part of it until you share again.

Chats from earlier versions

Chats saved by an earlier SleekAI version are converted the first time Chats opens. A chat that cannot be converted is named in a notice and stays in the database untouched.

Keeping chats for a limited time

SleekAI keeps chats until you delete them. To delete old chats automatically, set the number of days to keep them:

Shell
wp sleek ai settings update retention.days 90

Every day after that, chats last updated longer ago are deleted with their messages. The same rule applies to Agent conversations and chatbot logs, which are stored alongside. The sleekAi/retention/days filter can set the period in code; see the hooks reference.
