A slide-in help panel for the WP admin with designer guidance, bookmarks, workflows, quick links, and optional AI-powered contextual assistance.

== Description ==

**AI Admin Assistance adds an slide-in AI assistant and help panel to WordPress admin screens** so you can find the right settings faster, follow step-by-step workflows, and keep important help links handy—all without leaving the page.

🌟 [Pro](https://www.wpaiplugins.dev/wordpress-ai-admin-assistance/) | 📖 [Documentation](https://doc.wpaiplugins.dev/plugins/ai-admin-assistance/user/) | ℹ️ [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ait-ai-admin-assistance/)

Use it as an "admin help hub" for your site (or client sites):

- Show **Designer Guidance** that's relevant to the current screen (global + screen/post type/taxonomy targeting)
- Ask **contextual AI questions** right inside wp-admin (optional, can be disabled)
- Run **Workflows** (Pro) that guide admins through common tasks step-by-step
- Save answers and links as **Bookmarks**, filtered to the screen where you saved them
- Display **Quick Links** in the panel footer for fast access to docs or tools
- Control visibility by **user role** (only show the panel to the roles you want)

This plugin can connect to the **OpenAI API** to generate AI answers in the "Ask AI" feature (Pro).

When enabled, requests may include:
- Your question text
- The current admin screen context (screen ID, post type, taxonomy)
- If you enable "Include extra page context": visible headings and a schema of visible form fields (labels/types/names) **without field values**

You can disable AI features at any time in the plugin settings.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this require an OpenAI API key? =
Only if you enable **Ask AI** (Pro). If AI is disabled, the plugin still works for guidance, bookmarks, and quick links.

= Will it send my form values or private data to OpenAI? =
If you enable "Include extra page context", the plugin sends **headings** and a **field schema** (labels/types/names) to help the model understand what screen you're on. It does **not** send field values by default.

= Can I limit who sees the panel? =
Yes. Use the role visibility settings to show the panel only to specific roles.
