## Description

Altograph writes the metadata you never have time for. When you upload an image,
it generates accurate, accessible **alt text** by looking at the picture. When you
save a post, it can write an SEO **meta description** and add **JSON-LD structured
data**. Turn it on once and it keeps your media and content described as your site
grows.

Unlike most tools, **you don’t need your own AI API key** — the AI runs on the Altograph
service, so there’s nothing to configure. The free plan covers 25 items per month;
Altograph Pro removes the monthly limit (subject to fair use).

**What it does**

 * Generates descriptive alt text for images from the image itself (better accessibility
   and image SEO).
 * Writes concise, on-topic meta descriptions for posts and pages.
 * Adds Article JSON-LD structured data for richer search results.
 * Backfills alt text for images that are currently missing it.
 * Never overwrites alt text you’ve written yourself.

**Privacy-friendly by design**

Automation is **off until you switch it on**, and Altograph only ever sends what
it needs to do the job (see the External Services section below). A non-identifying
site ID — a hash of your site URL — is used for usage counting; no personal data
is required.

### External services

This plugin connects to the **Altograph API** to generate alt text and metadata.
It is required for the plugin’s core features.

 * **What is sent and when:**
    - _Alt text:_ when you upload an image (with automation on), run the backfill
      action, the plugin sends the **image URL** and **filename** to the Altograph
      API.
    - _Meta descriptions:_ when you save a post or page (with automation on), the
      plugin sends the **post title** and **post content**.
    - _Usage counting:_ a non-identifying **site ID** (a hash of your site URL) 
      accompanies each request.
 * **Where it goes:** the Altograph API (default `https://api.thereallyusefulappcompany.
   com`), which uses **Anthropic** as an AI subprocessor to generate the text.
 * **Service terms and privacy:**
    - Altograph Terms: https://thereallyusefulappcompany.com/altograph/terms
    - Altograph Privacy Policy: https://thereallyusefulappcompany.com/altograph/
      privacy
    - Anthropic Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

No data is sent until you enable automation, click the backfill button, or save 
a post while automation is enabled.

## Installation

 1. Install Altograph from the Plugins screen, or upload the `altograph` folder to `/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Settings  Altograph**.
 4. Review the external-service notice, then enable “Write alt text automatically” 
    and/or “Write a meta description automatically.”
 5. (Optional) Enter a Altograph Pro licence key to remove the monthly limit.

## FAQ

### Do I need an AI API key?

No. The AI runs on the Altograph service, so there’s nothing to set up.

### Will it overwrite alt text I’ve already written?

No. Altograph only fills in alt text that is missing.

### Is anything sent automatically without my knowledge?

No. Automation is off by default. Data is only sent after you enable it, and exactly
what’s sent is listed in the External Services section.

### What happens when I hit the free limit?

Generation pauses for the rest of the month. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited use, or
wait for the next month.
