Save & Summarize – AI Digest for Saved Articles

Save & Summarize helps your readers stay engaged with your content. Users can save articles with one click and later receive a personalized weekly digest of their saved posts.

If the site admin connects an AI provider (OpenAI or compatible API), the digest can optionally include AI-generated summaries of saved posts — completely optional and triggered only when configured.

This plugin is fully usable without AI, and all AI features require explicit configuration by the site administrator.

✨ Features

• 🔖 Save posts for later (bookmark button on each post)
• 🗂 “My Saved Posts” page (via shortcode)
• 📬 Weekly email digest of saved articles
• 🤖 Optional AI-powered summaries (admin must enter their own API key)
• 🧩 Works with any theme
• 🔐 Privacy-friendly (no data collected by us; AI calls only with admin consent)
• 🪶 Lightweight and clean code

💡 Perfect for

Blogs • News sites • Education sites • Documentation • Tutorial platforms • Content-heavy sites that want higher user retention.

How It Works

1. On any Page or Post, enable the option “Allow users to save this page” using the checkbox in the editor sidebar.
   This automatically displays the Save for Later button for that content.

2. (Optional) You can also manually insert the Save button anywhere using the shortcode:
   [saveamsu_save_button]

3. Create a My Saved Articles page and insert the shortcode:
   [saveamsu_saved_posts]

4. Enable the weekly digest email in:
   Settings → Save & Summarize

5. (Optional) Enter an AI API key to include AI-generated summaries in user digests.

AI features remain disabled unless the admin explicitly adds an API key.

AI Usage & Privacy

This plugin includes optional AI features.

• The plugin works fully without AI.
• AI is used only if the website administrator manually enters and stores their own API key.
• Only public post content is sent to the AI provider for the purpose of generating summaries.
• No personal user data (email, name, preferences, IP) is ever sent to any AI service.
• The plugin developers do not store or transmit any data.

Admins are responsible for choosing a compliant AI provider and understanding their data policies.

External services

• OpenAI Chat Completions API — used to generate optional summaries for saved posts.
  • Data sent: public post content and a system prompt, only when generating a summary (e.g., when the weekly digest is being built). No user-identifying data is sent.
  • When it is used: only after the site administrator enters their own API key in the plugin settings; the plugin functions without this.
  • Provider policies: Terms of Use, Privacy Policy.

Usage

1. Enabling “Save for Later” on Pages and Posts

Each Page and Post includes a checkbox titled:
Allow users to save this page

Turn it on to display the Save button automatically on that content.

2. Using the Save Button Shortcode

If you prefer manual placement, insert:
[saveamsu_save_button]

3. Creating the Saved Articles Page

Create a new page (e.g., “My Saved Articles”) and add:
[saveamsu_saved_posts]

Logged-in users will see a clean list of all articles they’ve saved.

4. Enabling Weekly Summary Emails

Go to Settings → Save & Summarize and:

• Turn on weekly digests
• Customize the email subject and introduction
• (Optional) Add an AI key to include smart summaries
