This plugin utilizes the native WordPress AI Client to connect to generative AI services. No direct API connections are initiated by the plugin itself; all requests are routed through the AI provider and credentials configured globally by the site administrator on the WordPress Settings > Connectors screen.

Depending on the connector you enable in WordPress, the following external services may be utilized:

OpenAI

  • Purpose: Used for generating article briefs, full article drafts, title suggestions, and executing quality checks.
  • Data Sent: Topic title, primary & secondary keywords, target audience, intent, outline, and editorial notes.
  • When Sent: Triggered only when the administrator initiates a brief, article, suggestion generation, or quality check manually, or when scheduled cron tasks run.
  • OpenAI Terms of Service: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
  • OpenAI Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

Google Gemini

Security Notes

All generated HTML content is sanitized with wp_kses_post() before being saved to WordPress draft posts. Autopublishing requires explicit enablement in settings, a low-risk topic classification, a recommended action of ‘publish’, and a quality check score meeting the configured threshold (default 90).

  1. Copy the plugin folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate “Gu&Co AI Blog Writer” in WordPress.
  3. Ensure you have configured an active AI provider and connector under WordPress Settings -> Connectors (requires WordPress 7.0+).
  4. (Optional) Enable “Test Mode” in Gu&Co AI Blog Writer -> Settings to test the workflow locally with sample responses without connecting to an external AI API.
  5. Add or import topics, then generate briefs and articles from the admin panel.
