Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft
Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft
Description
Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft helps editors turn audio notes into post drafts.
Draft generation requires at least one configured WordPress AI connector. If no connector is available, the plugin can stay active but generation requests will return provider errors.
Free version includes:
- Audio selection from Media Library
- Supported file types: MP3, OGG, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC
- Draft generation from audio (AI pipeline)
- Language, tone, and target length defaults
- Proper noun hints
- Insert mode: append or replace
- Auto-apply generated title
- Editor flow updates the current post
- WordPress 7.1 lifecycle support with anti-abuse rate limiting for ability runs
- Ability invocation telemetry hook support (safe metadata only)
- Usage counters in editor sidebar (daily/monthly calls and token totals)
- Usage analytics section in plugin settings (daily/monthly calls and token totals)
- Clear total-token labels (
token,estimated tokens,unknown tokens)
How it works:
- Open a post in the block editor.
- Open the Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft sidebar.
- Select an audio file from Media Library.
- Click “Generate draft from audio”.
The plugin generates content blocks and inserts them into the current post.
External services and data handling:
- To generate a draft, the plugin sends the selected audio payload and selected editorial options to the configured WordPress AI connector.
- Data processing, retention, and model behavior are managed by the active connector/provider, not by this plugin.
- This plugin does not add its own analytics tracker or advertising pixel.
- Site owners should review the privacy policy and terms of the selected AI connector/provider before production use.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install from Plugins.
- Activate “Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft”.
- Go to Settings > Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft and save your defaults.
- Open any post in the block editor and use the Nomad Pipeline Audio to Draft sidebar.

Faq
In the editor flow, it updates the current post.
If the ability is invoked externally (outside the editor flow), the plugin creates a new post draft.
Check that WordPress AI connectors are correctly configured and available.
Yes. Version 0.1.6 confirms WordPress 7.1 compatibility for the free editor workflow.
