Lynx Integral: Evaluation Notes
For web operators evaluating Lynx Integral, the WordPress plugin powered by SIE. The free tier is Lynx Assist: an on-site assistant that answers from your content with citations, plus a knowledge base, semantic search and schema, on your own WordPress. To run it you need WordPress on PHP 8.2 with WP-Cron, an LLM provider key and a Pinecone key. The pro tier is Lynx Align: the content-alignment layer, with guided setup, fleet tooling, updates and support, booked through a call.
Thanks for evaluating Lynx Integral, our WordPress plugin (powered by SIE, the Strategic Intelligence Engine). These notes cover what you are getting, what you need to run it, and where the free tier ends and the pro tier begins.
What the free tier includes
Lynx Assist, running on your own WordPress:
- An on-site chat assistant that answers from your content with citations, and says so when it does not know.
- A knowledge base for the content the assistant draws on, plus semantic search over it.
- Clean schema output for the content types.
- A read on where your content is thin: the questions the assistant comes up blank on, and the pages that disagree.
It sits alongside WordPress; it does not replace your CMS. Your content and your keys stay yours.
What you need to run it
- WordPress on PHP 8.2, with WP-Cron enabled (used for scheduled indexing). Earlier PHP versions are not supported.
- An LLM provider key to generate answers, such as OpenAI or Anthropic.
- A Pinecone key for the search index.
- Content worth answering from, and a little comfort working in WordPress.
Both providers have low-cost or free tiers that are fine for evaluation. We will point you to exactly what to get.
Where the pro tier begins
The plugin is free and open source. Lynx Align, the pro tier, is the content-alignment layer and the work around it:
- One source of truth and bulk alignment, so your whole content stack stays consistent as it grows, and the assistant’s answers stay accurate.
- Guided setup and content structuring, the craft that makes alignment (and therefore the answers) accurate.
- The fleet tooling that pushes alignment and updates across many installs and keeps every one current, so one person can run a fleet without babysitting each site.
- Updates and support.
In other words, the assistant is free; getting the content right, keeping it aligned, and standing behind it is the offering. It is booked through a call, not a checkout.
Next step
Run it, poke at it, and see how it answers from your content. When the gaps show, or when you want setup done for you, the fleet tooling, or support, book a call about Lynx Align.
