Dumi Article Draft Creator

Description

Dumi Article Draft Creator helps WordPress editors write faster. Enter a topic and optional outline, and AI generates a Gutenberg draft that you review and edit before publishing.

This plugin is an independent project by Duminda Wijerathna (wpdumi.com). It is not affiliated with OpenAI or WordPress.

Features

  • Create drafts from your own topic and notes
  • AI-powered writing with the WordPress AI Client (7.0+) or OpenAI API fallback
  • Output as native Gutenberg blocks (headings, paragraphs)
  • Template selection (built-in or from existing Gutenberg posts)
  • Assign drafts to existing categories
  • Configurable draft length
  • Media suggestions where templates include image placeholders

How it works

  1. An editor enters a topic and optional outline
  2. The plugin sends that text to the configured AI provider when you click Create Draft
  3. A new post is saved (as draft by default) for review in the block editor
  4. You edit, add images, and publish manually

External services

On WordPress 7.0+, this plugin uses the core WordPress AI Client. Configure your provider under Settings Connectors.

On WordPress 6.x, the plugin can use the OpenAI API with an API key you enter in the plugin settings.

Only the topic and outline you enter are sent. No data is sent to the plugin author. This plugin does not fetch external websites or publish content automatically.
