Visionati

by Visionati

Description

Visionati generates image alt text, captions, and product descriptions powered by your choice of AI model. Pick the model that works best for your content: Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), OpenAI, Grok (xAI), Jina AI, and more.

Why alt text matters:

Screen readers depend on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users
Search engines use alt text to understand and index your images
Missing alt text hurts both accessibility compliance and SEO rankings
Most WordPress sites have hundreds of images with no alt text at all

What Visionati does:

Preview before apply — generate a description, review it, then apply or discard. No surprises.
Generates alt text, captions, and descriptions for any image in your Media Library, one at a time or in bulk
Auto-generates on upload so new images get alt text immediately
WooCommerce product descriptions from product images, including short and long descriptions with product context. Apply each description independently or both at once.
Pick your AI model with optional per-context overrides. One global default, override any context individually. Gemini for fast media fields, Claude for WooCommerce product descriptions.
Debug mode — toggle in settings, traces to the browser console. No server access needed.
12 built-in roles shape the AI output for different contexts: Alt Text, Artist, Caption, Comedian, Critic, Ecommerce, General, Inspector, Promoter, Prompt, Realtor, and Tweet
Custom prompts for full control over what the AI generates
160+ languages supported for output

How it works:

Install the plugin and enter your Visionati API key
Pick your AI model (default: Gemini). Optionally override the model per context in settings.
Click Alt Text, Caption, or Description on any image. A preview appears. Review it, then Apply or Discard.
The right AI role is used automatically for each field. Bulk generation processes your entire library without previews.

Images are sent securely as base64 data directly from your server. This works everywhere: localhost, staging sites, password-protected sites, and private networks. The Visionati API never needs to reach back to your WordPress site.

Credits:

Visionati uses a credit-based system. See pricing details on the website. Sign up for an account to get started.

Third-Party Service:

Do I need an API key?

Yes. Visionati is a paid API service. Sign up at api.visionati.com to get your API key and purchase credits.

How much does it cost?

Visionati uses a credit-based system. Cost depends on which AI model you choose. You can use different models for different contexts (e.g. Gemini for alt text, Claude for product descriptions). See pricing details on the website.

Does it work on localhost and staging sites?

Yes. The plugin sends images as base64 data directly from your server, so the Visionati API never needs to access your site. This works behind firewalls, on localhost, staging environments, and password-protected sites.

What image formats are supported?

JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. When WooCommerce is active, the plugin adds a “Generate Descriptions” button to product edit screens and a bulk action to the Products list. It generates both short and long product descriptions using the product image, name, categories, and attributes for context. Each description can be applied independently or both at once.

Can I customize what the AI generates?

Yes. Choose from 12 built-in roles (Alt Text, Ecommerce, General, etc.) or write your own custom prompts. Each context (alt text, caption, description, WooCommerce) can use a different role and a different AI model.

What AI models are available?

Choose from Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), OpenAI, Grok (xAI), Jina AI, LLaVA, and BakLLaVA. Pick one global default and optionally override per context. Default: Gemini.

Will it overwrite my existing alt text?

Not by default. There is an “Overwrite Existing” setting you can enable if you want to regenerate alt text for images that already have it.

What languages are supported?

Over 160 languages. Set your preferred language in the plugin settings and all AI-generated text will be in that language.
