Put Atlas on your website. Not a chatbot — a 50,000-word mind that speaks 50+ languages as your business.

== Description ==

Symkind AI Agent adds an intelligent, conversational AI assistant to your WordPress website. Unlike generic chatbots that give shallow, scripted responses, Symkind agents are powered by a structured genome — up to 100,000 words of deep industry knowledge organized into 13+ layers, with subscription tiers that stack additional behavioral depth on top.

The result is an AI that doesn't just answer questions — it understands your industry, reads your customers, represents your business with genuine expertise, and speaks every customer in their own language while staying unmistakably you.

**What makes Symkind different:**

* **50,000+ word genomes** — not a 200-word prompt. Deep, structured knowledge.
* **42 industry-specific agents** — architecture, insurance, real estate, plumbing, legal, dental, automotive, and more.
* **Speaks 50+ languages as you** — Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Tagalog, and more. Your personality preserved across every language. Patent-pending.
* **Identity that holds** — your agent won't break character or become a generic AI mid-conversation. Loyalty-locked to your business.
* **Four subscription tiers** — Associate ($500), Senior ($1,200), Partner ($3,000), Super Agent ($10,000). Each tier stacks additional genome depth.
* **Lead generation built in** — naturally guides visitors toward booking, calling, or connecting. Delivers a strategic lead brief to your inbox after each qualified conversation.
* **Returning customer memory** (Senior tier and above) — remembers every customer across sessions.
* **Works on any WordPress site** — one-click install, floating chat widget, customizable colors.
* **Patent-pending architecture** — 11 U.S. provisional patents filed covering genome composition, voice preservation, identity-preserving multilingual, boardroom orchestration, tiered historical accumulation, and more.

**Free tier included:**

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `symkind-ai-agent` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need an API key? =
The free tier works without an API key (100 messages/month). For genome-powered agents with higher limits, get an API key at symkind.ai.

= What industries are supported? =
42 industries including architecture, insurance, real estate, home improvement, automotive, legal, dental, health, travel, wedding, education, and more.

= Does it really speak 50+ languages? =
Yes. Your agent detects the customer's language per turn and responds in that language — while preserving your business's voice, opinions, and specific recommendations. Spanish-you is still you. Patent-pending technology.

= What's the difference between the tiers? =
Associate ($500/mo) gives you the 50,000-word genome, lead intelligence briefs, and loyalty-lock to your business. Senior ($1,200/mo) adds returning-customer memory across sessions. Partner ($3,000/mo) adds cross-agent intelligence and a monthly custom layer. Super Agent ($10,000/mo) adds 13 deep behavioral layers — Master Sales Craft, Conflict De-escalation, Wit, Emotional Intelligence, Negotiation Psychology, and more.

= Can I customize the look? =
Yes. Change the widget color, position (left or right), business name, and greeting from the settings page.

= Can I remove the Symkind branding? =
Paid plans (Associate tier and above) can remove the "Powered by Symkind" branding.

= Is this GDPR compliant? =
Symkind does not store personal visitor data beyond what your tier requires for memory features. Conversations at Associate tier are processed in real-time and not retained. Senior tier and above retain compressed memory records of returning customers with your consent and the customer's.
