Fabio AI Chatbot v3.6.5: WooCommerce Improvements, Conversation Persistence, and Cost Optimization

Hey everyone! 👋

We’ve just released v3.6.5 of Fabio AI Chatbot, and it comes with some meaningful updates based on real-world usage and your feedback.


🔧 Key Improvements

1. Enhanced WooCommerce Product Recognition

The chatbot now better understands and matches user queries to your WooCommerce products, even in complex catalogs. This means fewer "I couldn’t find that" moments and more accurate, context-aware responses.

2. Conversation Persistence Across Pages

Users can now maintain their chat history as they navigate your site. No more starting over when switching between product pages, blog posts, or checkout. Context stays intact, making interactions feel more natural.


âš¡ Model Optimization: Same Quality, Lower Cost

We’ve been benchmarking recent smaller AI models (like GPT-4 Mini) and found they perform just as well as their larger counterparts for most chatbot use cases—while cutting token costs by ~50%.

As a result:

  • Our demo sites now default to GPT-4 Mini.
  • You can still choose any supported model (OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral) in large or mini variants—whatever fits your budget and needs.

💡 Why This Matters for Devs & Store Owners

✅ For Store Owners: Fewer support requests, better UX, and higher conversion rates thanks to accurate product guidance.
✅ For Developers: Lower operational costs without sacrificing performance, plus more flexibility in model selection.
