Title: LS – AI Editorial Engine Author: lakestylez Published: June 17, 2026 Last modified: June 17, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/ls-ai-editorial-engine.svg) # LS – AI Editorial Engine By [lakestylez](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lakestylez/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ls-ai-editorial-engine.1.1.7.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ls-ai-editorial-engine/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ls-ai-editorial-engine/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ls-ai-editorial-engine/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ls-ai-editorial-engine/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ls-ai-editorial-engine/) ## Description LS – AI Editorial Engine brings AI-assisted writing directly into the WordPress editor. Draft full blog posts, refine existing text, and generate SEO meta data without leaving your post — using your own OpenAI (ChatGPT) or Google Gemini API key. The plugin works in both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) sidebar and the Classic Editor metabox. You stay in control: you choose the provider, the model, the language, the tone and the persona used for generation. #### Free features * Generate full blog post drafts from a prompt or topic * Enhance and polish existing content (grammar, flow, structure) * Generate SEO meta title, meta description and a focus keyword * Choose between OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Google Gemini models * Control output language, formal/informal address and anglicism level * Define a brand persona and global context for consistent results * Works in the Block Editor (sidebar) and the Classic Editor (metabox) #### Pro features The following features require a Pro license (handled via Freemius): * Inline optimization of selected text (rephrase, clarify, SEO, tone, and more) * Auto-Blogger: scheduled automatic post creation via WP-Cron * Strategic topic pool generator * AI-based category assignment * Style learning from a writing sample, preferred key terms and minimum length * Default writing styles * Affiliate Link Assistant: store your own affiliate links once and let the AI weave fitting ones into the content (inline keyword links and/or a recommendation block). Links use rel=”sponsored nofollow noopener”, a server-side maximum-links limit is enforced, and only the exact URLs from your settings are used. * Optional AI featured-image generation (works together with the separate, free“ LS – AI Image Generator” plugin; if it is not installed, the option is simply skipped) You can compare plans and upgrade from the plugin’s account/pricing screen. #### Bring your own API key This plugin does not include or resell AI usage. You enter your own OpenAI and/or Google Gemini API key in the settings. All AI requests are billed to your own provider account according to that provider’s pricing. ### External services This plugin connects to third-party services to provide its core functionality. No content is sent to any external service until you actively trigger a generation action or enable a feature that requires it. #### OpenAI (ChatGPT) API Used to generate and enhance content when you select an OpenAI model. * What is sent: the text/prompt you generate or enhance, your configured system instructions (persona, context, language, tone, writing styles), the selected model name and generation parameters (e.g. temperature). For inline actions, the selected text and surrounding context you chose are sent. If you enable the Affiliate Link Assistant, the affiliate entries you stored (titles, URLs, descriptions, keywords) are included in these instructions so the model can integrate fitting links. * When: only when you start a generation, enhancement, inline action, SEO generation or topic generation that uses an OpenAI model. * Where: requests go to https://api.openai.com/ and are authenticated with the OpenAI API key you enter in the plugin settings. * Provider terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use * Provider privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy #### Google Gemini API Used to generate and enhance content when you select a Gemini model. * What is sent: the same kind of data described above (prompt/selected text, system instructions, model name and generation parameters, and — if enabled — your affiliate entries). * When: only when you start an action that uses a Google Gemini model. * Where: requests go to https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/ and are authenticated with the Google Gemini API key you enter in the plugin settings. * Provider terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms * Provider privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy #### Freemius This plugin uses Freemius to handle licensing, the optional account/upgrade flows and an optional, opt-in usage/diagnostics report. * The usage report is opt-in: it is only sent if you explicitly agree during activation. You can use the free features without opting in, and you can skip or revoke the opt-in. * What may be sent on opt-in: basic environment and plugin usage data (for example WordPress and PHP version, active plugin/theme information and the site URL/admin email used for the license/account). API keys and your generated content are not part of this report. * Service: https://freemius.com/ * Terms of service: https://freemius.com/terms/ * Privacy policy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ ## Installation 1. Upload the `ls-ai-editorial-engine` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress “Plugins” screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress. 3. Go to “Editorial Engine” “Settings” and enter your OpenAI and/or Google Gemini API key. 4. Choose your default model, language and persona. 5. Open a post in the Block Editor or Classic Editor and use the LS – AI Editorial Engine panel to generate or enhance content. ## FAQ ### Do I need an API key? Yes. You need your own OpenAI and/or Google Gemini API key. The plugin sends requests using your key, and any usage is billed by the provider to your account. ### Does the plugin store my API keys securely? Your keys are stored in the WordPress options table on your own server, like other plugin settings. They are never displayed in the front end and are only sent to the respective provider to authenticate your requests. ### Which editors are supported? Both the Block Editor (Gutenberg) via a sidebar panel and the Classic Editor via a metabox. ### Is any content sent anywhere without my action? No. Content is only sent to OpenAI or Google Gemini when you actively trigger a generation, enhancement, inline action, SEO or topic action. The optional Freemius usage report is opt-in only. ### How does the Affiliate Link Assistant handle my links? You store affiliate links once in the settings. When you enable the assistant for a post (a Pro feature), the AI may add fitting links using the exact URLs from your settings — it never invents or alters URLs. Links receive rel=”sponsored nofollow noopener” and a server-side maximum-links limit is enforced. ### What does the Pro version add? Pro adds inline text optimization, the scheduled Auto-Blogger, the strategic topic generator, AI category assignment, style learning, preferred key terms, minimum length, default writing styles, the Affiliate Link Assistant and optional AI featured images. ### Does it require the LS – AI Image Generator plugin? No. The optional AI featured-image feature can work together with the separate, free “LS – AI Image Generator” plugin, but it is not required. If that plugin is not installed, the option is simply skipped. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LS – AI Editorial Engine” is open source software.
