## Description

**No API key. No account. No setup.** Unlike other AI FAQ generators, which make
you sign up for OpenAI or Gemini and paste in your own paid API key, AltoFAQ runs
the AI on our hosted service. Activate the plugin and it just works, free for the
first 25 FAQs every month.

AltoFAQ reads your post and writes the questions readers actually ask, each answered
from your content. You review and edit them, then AltoFAQ shows them as a tidy, 
accessible **accordion** and emits valid **FAQPage** structured data.

**Honest about the SEO:** Google retired FAQ rich results in May 2026, so this is
not a “rich results” plugin. What FAQ content still does: FAQPage schema is still
valid and parsed, AI search engines (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) favour clean
structured Q&A, featured snippets still benefit, and a clear FAQ is genuinely useful
to readers. AltoFAQ is built for that reality.

The free plan covers 25 FAQs per month; AltoFAQ Pro removes the monthly limit (subject
to fair use) and can generate automatically on publish.

 * No API key or third-party account. The AI runs on our service.
 * One click to generate an FAQ from the post editor, then edit or remove any question
   before it shows.
 * Accessible accordion display, built on native HTML so it works with the keyboard
   and screen readers.
 * Valid FAQPage JSON-LD that always matches the questions shown on the page.
 * Show it via the `[altofaq]` shortcode, or auto-insert it into single posts.
 * Privacy-friendly: automation is off until you switch it on, and only the post
   title and content (plus a non-identifying, hashed site ID) are ever sent.
 * Pro: unlimited FAQs (subject to fair use) and auto-generate when you publish.

### External services

This plugin connects to the **Really Useful App Company API** to generate FAQs. 
It is required for the plugin’s core feature.

 * **What is sent and when:** when you click “Generate FAQ” (or, with auto-generate
   on, when you publish a post), the plugin sends the **post title** and **post 
   content** to the API. A non-identifying **site ID** (a hash of your site URL)
   is sent for usage counting.
 * **Where it goes:** the API (default `https://api.thereallyusefulappcompany.com`),
   which uses **Anthropic** as an AI subprocessor to generate the text.
 * **Terms / privacy:** https://www.thereallyusefulappcompany.com/altofaq/terms ,
   https://www.thereallyusefulappcompany.com/altofaq/privacy , https://www.anthropic.
   com/legal/privacy

No data is sent until you click generate or publish with auto-generate enabled.

## Installation

 2. Go to **Settings  AltoFAQ**, review the external-service notice, and choose how
    the accordion should display.

    questions, then update the post.
 4. (Optional) Enter an AltoFAQ Pro licence key to remove the monthly limit.

## FAQ

### Do I need an AI API key?

No. The AI runs on our service, free for the first 25 FAQs a month.

### Does this bring back Google’s FAQ rich results?

No, and no plugin can. Google removed FAQ rich results in May 2026. AltoFAQ is built
for what FAQ content still helps with: valid schema for AI search and semantic parsing,
featured snippets, and a clear on-page FAQ for readers.

### Can I edit the questions before they appear?

Yes. Generated questions and answers are fully editable and removable in the editor.
Nothing shows publicly until you save the post.

### Where does the FAQ appear?

Wherever you place the `[altofaq]` shortcode, or automatically at the top or bottom
of single posts if you enable that.

### Does it send my content anywhere?

Only when you generate an FAQ, and only the title and content. See the External 
Services section.
