Yedric.ai Review: Free Embeddable AI Assistant
Embed an AI assistant that acts inside your SaaS
Quick verdict
The price is $0, and the real cost is whatever your model provider charges once you add your own keys. What you will not find is a paid tier. There is no pricing page with seat prices, and the FAQ sends large-scale questions to an email address, so if procurement needs a quote table, this is not it.

Yedric.ai at a glance
Yedric.ai comes from ShopPad's Yedric product line. You embed a web component called yedric-widget through cdn.yedric.ai/widget.js, connect documentation and APIs (or MCP tools), and let end users ask for outcomes such as creating a discount, fixing an integration or changing a setting, while you control which tools may run.
The marketing site states 100% free and completely free, with unlimited assistants and conversations. The docs FAQ says you can try a small default model on Yedric's keys (the Organizations docs name GPT-4o Mini), and add your own Google, OpenAI or Anthropic keys for other models or larger volume. Secure Mode binds sessions to verified users with HMAC-SHA256, and Shopify-oriented embeds and signing examples appear in the docs. The FAQ lists contact+yedric@theshoppad.com for advanced or large-scale questions.
What Yedric does
On the Yedric.ai homepage, the product is framed as making an app AI-native: users state intent in plain language, and Yedric uses tool calling against the actions you expose. Marketing examples include creating discount codes, tagging customers, fixing disconnected integrations and changing settings. The page says the assistant can use your docs, PDFs, files and URLs as knowledge, and that you bring your own API keys with no platform markup.
The control surface
The Your Assistant docs list what you configure: Instructions (the system prompt), Knowledge Base, Actions (built-in tools plus custom and MCP tools, each set to auto, confirm or disabled), Page Prompts (URL-specific suggestions and prompt overrides), Conversations and Trends, Alerts, widget appearance, Simulations, Versions, and Settings, including frustration tagging and live-chat setup.
Embedding and Secure Mode
Developers embed with a short snippet documented in Embedding the Widget: load widget.js, place the yedric-widget element with your key and agent, and set theme, greeting, live chat, file uploads, mic and tool-activity visibility in the dashboard. Secure Mode documents public keys (yk_...), server-only secrets (yks_...), HMAC signatures, domain restrictions and Shopify signing examples. Never put the secret in the browser.
Organizations and usage
The organization docs cover Owner, Admin and Member roles, AI Service Keys, encrypted Secrets for Actions, webhooks and custom apps, and org-level Usage showing requests, tokens and cache hit rate.
Product Hunt's public Yedric.ai page on 1 October 2026 listed the product with a Free tag and "AI-native in under 30 minutes" style messaging that matches the homepage. Treat any Product Hunt ranking as a community signal, not something we measured.
Who Yedric.ai is for, and who should skip it
It fits SaaS and Shopify app builders who want an in-product agent that can run approved tools, not only answer FAQs. It also fits teams that already have APIs or an MCP server and want conversation, usage and tool-call visibility without building the whole widget stack. The free pitch and bring-your-own-keys model suit builders who would rather pay model providers directly.
Skip it if:
- You need a finished WordPress help desk with ticket stages and a packaged knowledge base. See NiroHelp.
- You need a Mac screen tutor that points at UI controls. That is Pip.
- You refuse to run any cloud LLM for end-user chat.
- You need a published paid price table with seat prices. On 1 October 2026 the vendor marketed "completely free" and pointed large-scale questions to email.
- You want AI video credit packs. That is a different job, covered by AIVeed and Flyne AI.
How much does Yedric.ai cost?
Yedric does not publish a multi-tier paid price table on a dedicated pricing URL as of this check. The homepage Completely Free block and the docs FAQ are the sources below. Model inference beyond the default path is billed by your model provider when you add keys, not as a Yedric seat fee on the pages we read.
USD, checked 1 October 2026, from the Yedric.ai homepage, the Yedric FAQ and the Organizations docs
| Plan | Price | What you get (vendor-stated) | Where free / limits stop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yedric platform (marketed free) | $0: "completely free" and "100% free"; no credit card required (homepage) | Unlimited assistants; unlimited conversations; fully customizable widget; bring your model keys (homepage). Docs: start without a key on a small default model (GPT-4o Mini works with no key per Organizations); add Google, OpenAI or Anthropic keys for other models. Embed widget, knowledge, actions and MCP, Secure Mode, live chat options, simulations and versions per docs. | FAQ: for more advanced models or large scale, bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google API keys; contact contact+yedric@theshoppad.com for details. Missing provider keys mean chat returns nothing for that model (docs troubleshooting). You pay providers for key usage, and Yedric's marketing pages set no amounts. |
Confirm live checkout and any future paid plans on the vendor site before you budget.
Do I need my own API key?
Not to try it. The FAQ says new assistants start on a small default model on Yedric's keys, and the Organizations docs name GPT-4o Mini as working with no key. Add Google, OpenAI or Anthropic keys under AI Service Keys for other models or more volume.
How Yedric.ai compares with other tools reviewed here
Yedric's job is embedding an action-taking AI agent inside your SaaS. The nearest reviews are support, desktop help and agent-readable SEO, not identical embed SDKs.
Yedric.ai vs NiroHelp. NiroHelp is a WordPress help desk with AI answers from your docs. Free covers the knowledge base and tickets; paid plans from $9.99 a month turn on the AI chatbot and email piping (checked 28 September 2026). Choose NiroHelp when support must live in wp-admin, and Yedric for a customizable agent inside a non-WordPress or Shopify product with your own tools.
Yedric.ai vs Pip. Pip is a Mac-only AI buddy that points at on-screen controls (Free 30 questions a month; Pro $15; Max $69.99, checked 29 September 2026). Pip helps a person operate the Mac UI. Yedric helps end users operate your product through tools you expose.
Yedric.ai vs CrawlRaven. CrawlRaven exposes GSC and GA4 SEO plans to AI clients over MCP (Free for one site; lifetime from $39, checked 30 September 2026). The overlap is agents and MCP, not the buyer: CrawlRaven is SEO planning, Yedric is in-app product actions.
AIVeed and Flyne AI sit in the video and image lane and sell generation credits, not SaaS embeds. Use those when the job is media and Yedric when the job is product UX.
Frequently asked: Secure Mode and support widgets
Secure Mode binds chat to a verified username using an HMAC-SHA256 signature from your server-side secret, and the full detail is in Yedric's Secure Mode docs. As for support chat tools, the homepage FAQ says support agents are designed to answer questions and resolve tickets, while Yedric is built to become part of how users interact with the app by combining knowledge, context and actions you expose, not only explaining steps.
