OpenAI

The WS Form OpenAI add-on provides two key features:

The ability dynamically create WordPress forms simply by entering a prompt describing the form you need.
Integration with the core OpenAI endpoints into your WordPress forms for generating text and image content.

What is OpenAI?

Let’s ask OpenAI what it is…

Human: What is OpenAI?

AI: OpenAI is a nonprofit artificial intelligence research organization. It works on developing friendly AI systems to enhance human well-being, as well as create responsible, equitable AI solutions.

The OpenAI moderation endpoint is a tool for automatically detecting, analyzing, and moderating potentially offensive content. It can help you protect user-generated content on your website.When a form is submitted in WS Form the moderation action can be used to mark a submission as spam if obscene language, hate speech, and other inappropriate content is detected.

Creating a Form Integrated With OpenAI

Automatically

WS Form can create a form for an OpenAI endpoint in a single click. This process not only creates a form but also fully configures WS Form so that the form is ready to use immediately.

To create a OpenAI form in WS Form:

Click WS Form in the WordPress administration menu.
Click Add New.
Select the OpenAI tab at the top of the page.
Click on an OpenAI template to create a form.
Wait a few moments while the form is created.

That’s it! Your form will be created and is ready to add to your website.

Manually

It is also possible to use any form created in WS Form and add an action so that you can make OpenAI requests.

Add an OpenAI Action

When editing your form, click the Actions icon at the top of the page. The Actions sidebar will open on the right-hand side of the page.
Click the Add icon to add a new action.
Select Make OpenAI Request from the Action pulldown.
Click Save & Close.

You will noticed that the When Should This Action Run? setting has neither checkbox checked. This is because we recommend using conditional logic to run the OpenAI action when a custom button is clicked. This ensures the OpenAI requests run without submitting the form and keep the user on the form while they interact with it.

Add Conditional Logic to Run the OpenAI Action

Add a custom button to your form.
Click the Conditional Logic icon at the top of the layout editor.
Create an IF condition that checks if the custom button has been clicked.
Create a THEN statement and choose the Make OpenAI Request action, then choose Run Immediately.
Click Save & Close.

The Make OpenAI Request action will now run when the custom button is clicked.

The OpenAI action settings depend on the endpoint selected.

Inject Start Text

This setting injects text to the beginning of the output prior to it being added to the output field. This setting is included in case you want to simulate output similar to that provided by the API playground.

Inject Restart Text

This setting injects text at the end of the output prior to it being added to the output field.This setting is included in case you want to simulate output similar to that provided by the API playground.

Stop Sequences

OpenAI Stop Sequences are used to determine when OpenAI models should stop generating responses. The stop sequence is a predetermined set of words or characters that, when encountered, will indicate to the model that it has reached the end of its output and should not generate any more data. Up to 4 stop sequences can be configured.

Temperature

Choose the temperature setting for the OpenAI request.

Top P

Choose the top p setting for the OpenAI request.

The OpenAI Completion Top P setting is used to adjust the probability of which tokens will be included in the generated output. A higher top p value indicates that the model should prioritize tokens with a higher probability, while a lower top p value indicates that the model should consider tokens with lower probabilities.

Frequency Penalty

Choose the frequency penalty setting for the OpenAI request.

The OpenAI Frequency Penalty setting is used to adjust how much frequency of tokens in the source material will influence the output of the model. A higher frequency penalty indicates that the model should favor tokens with a higher frequency, while a lower frequency penalty indicates that the model should prioritize tokens with a lower frequency.

Presence Penalty

Choose the presence penalty setting for the OpenAI request.

The OpenAI Presence Penalty setting is used to adjust how much presence of tokens in the source material will influence the output of the model. A higher presence penalty indicates that the model should favor tokens with a higher presence, while a lower presence penalty indicates that the model should prioritize tokens with a lower presence.
