Answers to the questions we are asked most often: how it works, installation, pricing and data.
How it works
Does DigiSeer answer from outside my site?
No. Answers are built from the content you publish on your WordPress site, and every answer links to its sources.
Which content is taken into account?
The public content of your site: pages, posts and public custom post types, with their categories and ACF fields. Drafts, private or password-protected content, media and theme templates are never indexed.
Do the answers follow the changes on my site?
Yes. With automatic indexing, every publication, change or deletion is taken into account straight away, with no resync to wait for. Unpublished or deleted content is removed from the index.
Which languages are supported? Which language does the chat answer in?
The chat answers in the language of the question, whatever the language of your pages: a visitor writing in Spanish gets an answer in Spanish.
Each site offers its chat in two languages, chosen among 27 languages (French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish…), each with its own texts and suggested questions. On a multilingual site (Polylang, for example), each version of the page shows its own chat, which searches the content in its language.
The DigiSeer app is available in French and English. Details: Languages · Multilingual.
What happens when the chat can’t find the answer?
The chat makes nothing up: if no page answers, it says so, and can offer a contact button.
The question shows up in your dashboard among the unanswered questions. In one click, you turn it into a draft WordPress page or post; once published, it is indexed and the chat uses it. Your visitors can also rate each answer.
Can I set the tone and look of the chat?
Yes, with the paid plans. In the app, the Settings page sets the length of the answers, the tone, formal or informal address and instructions for the AI, with a preview before saving. Colours, font, avatar, texts and welcome message can be set too, without code.
Installation
How long does it take to install DigiSeer? Do I need to code?
About five minutes, and no code: install the DigiSeer plugin on your site, create your account, then place the chat on a page. Your content is then indexed on its own. Each step is explained in Getting started.
Do I need an OpenAI key or an account with an AI provider?
No. AI is included in your plan: no API key to create, no account to open or pay for separately.
Does it work with my theme and page builder?
Yes. DigiSeer is added with a shortcode, so it works with block themes, classic themes and page builders, and on multisite networks.
Why is my content indexed by DigiSeer rather than in my WordPress?
Because meaning-based search needs a database and computing power that WordPress hosting doesn’t have. Your site stays light and fast, no AI key is stored on it, and your content stays in WordPress: the index is only a copy, hosted in France, that can be rebuilt at any time. The details are on the Technical side page.
Pricing and subscription
Is the Free plan really free?
Yes: no credit card and no time limit. It includes one site, about 75 answers a month and a limited number of indexed pages, with the default settings, texts and styles. At its limit, the chat pauses until the next month. The details are on the Pricing page.
What is a token?
A token is a small piece of text, roughly three quarters of a word. To answer, the AI reads the relevant passages of your pages, then writes its answer: both use tokens. An answer uses about 2,000 tokens, so one million tokens covers about 500 answers.
Does indexing use tokens?
Yes. Indexing a page (splitting it into passages, summarising it, computing its vectors) uses about 1,000 to 4,000 tokens depending on its length, once, then again each time the page changes. With paid plans, these tokens count towards your monthly allowance, like answers; with the Free plan, indexing is free and only answers count.
What happens if I go over my plan?
You are notified by e-mail at 80% then 100% of the included tokens. On paid plans, the chat keeps answering: the overage is counted site by site and billed per million tokens at your plan’s rate, on a separate invoice at the start of the following month (below €1, the amount is carried over to the following month). The Free plan pauses at its limit until the following month.
Are tokens shared between my sites?
No. Each site has its own included tokens, and any extra usage is counted separately. An agency sees each client’s usage and downloads a monthly statement per site (PDF and CSV) to bill it on.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, at any time, from the Subscription page of your account. A higher plan, or switching to annual billing, applies straight away: you only pay the difference, prorated for the time left. A lower plan, or switching back to monthly, takes effect at the end of the period already paid, with no refund. The new plan must allow at least as many sites as your account has. After a downgrade, pages already indexed stay indexed; new content beyond the new plan’s limit is no longer indexed. To go back to the free plan, simply cancel. The account moves to the Free plan: sites beyond the first are paused, and you choose which one stays active (Subscription page, Sites tab).
Can I replace or delete a site without changing my subscription?
Yes. Your subscription belongs to your account, not to a site. To put one site in place of another, delete the old one from the Subscription page (Sites tab), then install the DigiSeer plugin on the new one. Deleting a site erases its indexed content, settings and statistics; its usage statements and invoices are kept.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Monthly and annual plans can be cancelled at any time from your account and stay active until the end of the paid period.
Data and GDPR
Where is my data processed?
Your data is hosted in France, at Scaleway, and answers are written by Mistral AI in the European Union. DigiSeer sets no cookies for your visitors and does not store their IP address in clear. Details: security and privacy.
What do you do with my data?
Nothing but answer your visitors: your content and their questions are never sold or shared, are not used for our ranking or for advertising, and do not train the AI. See what we never do with your data.
