Hello Krasi,
Based on the plugin structure, the AI provider only needs to return a plain text string (reply), so DeepSeek can work as long as:
- The API base URL is configurable (e.g., pointing to your Ollama endpoint).
- The endpoint supports an OpenAI-compatible route like
/v1/chat/completions.
If Ollama returns a different structure, you’ll need a small middleware/proxy layer to normalize the response before returning it to WordPress.
Since your DeepSeek instance runs locally and WordPress is hosted on cPanel, make sure the endpoint is exposed securely via HTTPS and protected properly.
If you’d like to explore a custom provider integration in more detail, you can reach out through the links available on my profile.
Best regards,
Adeel
