My Dream for AI

I am thrilled about the endless opportunities that AI brings. But, at the same time, I can’t help but hope for a world where AI is used for good, and not just to dominate the web with generated content. My dream is to see AI being utilized to enhance our productivity, empower new voices to be heard (because let’s be real, not everyone is a native speaker or may have challenges when it comes to writing), and help us save time on tedious tasks so we can spend more precious moments with our loved ones and the world around us.

I will always advocate this, and I hope you do too 💕

This plugin has everything i needed to create my very own functioning chatbots for my website, for free. Super easy to understand, easy to customize, and so many options available compared to other ai plugins i tried. Other than needing to upgrade to use the user limit option, I have no complaints.
