Similo: AI Related Posts

Description

Similo uses AI embeddings to find and display semantically related posts — articles that are actually about the same topic, even if they don’t share tags or categories.

Built for professional blogs with hundreds of posts: law firms, consultancies, academic publishers, and anyone whose readers deserve better content discovery.

How it works

  • When a post is published, Lecto generates an AI embedding of its content
  • When a reader views a post, Lecto compares embeddings to find the most similar articles
  • The most relevant posts are displayed as “Further Reading” at the bottom of each article

Why it’s different

Most related post plugins match by tags or categories. Lecto understands meaning — so a post about GDPR enforcement and a post about data privacy fines will be connected, even if they were never tagged the same way.

Requirements

  • OpenAI API key (for embeddings)

External Services

This plugin sends post content to an external server to generate AI embeddings for related post detection.

What data is sent: Post title and content (text only)
When: When a post is published or updated
Service: lecto-server.fly.dev

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
  3. That’s it! Further Reading will automatically appear at the bottom of your posts.
Which OpenAI model does Similo use?

Similo uses text-embedding-3-small — a fast, affordable embedding model.

Does it slow down my site?

No. Embeddings are generated once when a post is saved, not on every page load.

What similarity threshold does Lecto use?

Posts with a cosine similarity score above 0.7 are shown. This keeps results relevant and avoids noise.

How many related posts are shown?

Up to 5 by default.
