How Content Indexing Works

What Is Indexing?

The AI chatbot answers questions using a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. This means it searches your own indexed content first, then generates a grounded answer. Without indexed content, the bot has nothing to search.

What Gets Indexed

By default, the plugin indexes:

• WordPress Posts
• WordPress Pages
• WooCommerce Products (title, description, price, categories, attributes)

You can adjust which post types are indexed in Settings > Advanced > Post Types.

How to Start Indexing

1. Go to Aimanix > Overview in your admin.
2. Click the Start Indexing button.
3. The plugin processes content in batches. Large stores may take 5-15 minutes.
4. You can see progress in real-time on the Overview page.

Auto-Sync

When you publish or update a post or product, it is automatically queued for re-indexing. There is no need to manually re-index after content changes.

Index Limits by Plan

• Free: 20 items
• Personal: 100 items
• Business and Developer: Unlimited

Clearing the Index

To start fresh, go to Aimanix > Overview and click Clear Index. This removes all indexed chunks. You will need to re-run indexing after clearing.
