Documentation / Products / Extensions / SensAI / Content and Indexing			Content and Indexing
Location: SensAI > Content & Indexing
This page controls which content the AI learns from and how it indexes your site for accurate responses.
Indexed Content ↑ Back to top
Purpose:
Choose which types of content the AI should learn from. All content types available on your website are displayed automatically.
Common Content Types:
Posts – Blog posts (usually enabled)
Pages – Static pages like About, Contact (usually enabled)
Products – WooCommerce products (usually enabled)
Media – Images, videos, PDFs (usually keep disabled)
Setup Instructions:
Toggle ON to include a content type
Toggle OFF to exclude a content type
Click Save Changes
Click Build Content Index to apply changes
Index Private Content ↑ Back to top
Purpose:
Control whether private or password-protected posts are included in the AI index.
Default: OFF (secure – private content excluded)
ON: All content, including private/restricted posts, is indexed
What it covers:
WordPress private posts (normally only visible to editors/admins)
Password-protected posts
Security Warning:
If enabled, the AI can answer questions about protected content without requiring passwords. Only enable if:
Chat is restricted to logged-in users
All logged-in users should have access to this content
Recommendation: Keep OFF unless you have a specific reason.
Index Membership-Restricted Content ↑ Back to top
Purpose:
Control whether content restricted by membership plugins is indexed.
Default: OFF (secure – member-only content excluded)
ON: All content, including member-only content, is indexed
Supported Plugins:
WooCommerce Memberships (100% coverage via official API)
MemberPress (95% coverage via official API)
Detection Includes:
Post-level restrictions
Category/taxonomy restrictions
Shortcode-based restrictions ([mepr-restrict], [wcm_restrict])
All membership plan configurations
Security Warning:
If enabled, the AI can answer questions about member-only content without checking membership status. Only enable if:
Chat is restricted to logged-in users
All logged-in users should have access to member content
Other Plugins:
Developers can use the wpai_is_content_restricted filter hook to add custom restriction detection.
Recommendation: Keep OFF unless required.
Build Content Index ↑ Back to top
Purpose:
Re-processes all selected content and updates the AI’s knowledge.
Pre-flight Check:
Before indexing starts, SensAI:
Tests your OpenAI API key
Verifies you have sufficient credits
Shows an error message if credits are insufficient
When to Use:
First-time plugin setup
After changing content types to index
After updating security/restriction settings
If AI responses are outdated
After bulk-importing content
Process:
Click Build Content Index
Read the confirmation message (mentions API costs)
Click Continue
API credit check runs automatically
Wait for completion (progress displayed)
Time Estimate:
Small sites: ~1–5 minutes
Large sites: ~10–30 minutes
Important:
Indexing uses OpenAI API credits to generate embeddings.
Estimated cost: ~$0.10–0.50 per 1,000 pages/products
Error Handling:
If indexing fails (insufficient credits, rate limits, etc.), a clear error message appears. No unusable data is created.
Clear AI Response Cache ↑ Back to top
Purpose:
Deletes all stored AI responses to ensure fresh answers.
When to Use:
Content has significantly changed
Prices or important information updated
You want fresh responses for all questions
Behavior:
The first visitor asking a question after clearing will experience normal response time
Response is cached again automatically
Note: This operation is instant and does not use API credits.
