PIJAlance News Intelligence

Description

PIJAlance News Intelligence helps your readers check what they read. It adds a “Check a claim” button to your site, a check box you can place anywhere, and optional buttons for the whole article or for text a reader selects.

The checking itself is done by the News Intelligence service at chatniai.com, built by PIJAlance Magazine, so improvements reach your site without a plugin update.

What works for free: the button, the check box, the article button and the selected-text button all work with no account. When a reader presses Check, the check opens on chatniai.com.

For newsrooms: a paid workspace can create a site key at platform.chatniai.com. Paste it in Settings, PIJAlance News Intelligence, and the full check runs on your own page, without leaving it.

Features:

  • “Check a claim” button on every page, with your own wording and side.
  • [news_intelligence] shortcode: a check box for any post, page or widget area.
  • Optional “Check this article” button at the end of posts.
  • Optional button that appears when a reader selects text.
  • Optional help assistant, Oye, as a round help button or on a Help page with [oye_help].

External services

This plugin connects to the News Intelligence service, operated by PIJAlance Magazine Limited at https://chatniai.com. It cannot do its job without it.

What is loaded: on your public pages the plugin loads a script from https://chatniai.com/widget.js. If you turn on the help assistant, it also loads https://chatniai.com/oye.js. Loading a script means the reader’s browser requests it from chatniai.com, so chatniai.com receives the reader’s IP address and browser details, as with any hosted script.

What is sent, and when: no claim text is sent when a page loads. When a reader presses Check, the text or link they chose to check is sent to chatniai.com so it can be checked. If you entered a site key, the key and your website address are also sent so the service can confirm that your website is allowed to use it. With the optional help assistant, a reader’s question is sent when they send it.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin in Plugins, Add New, Upload Plugin, or install it from the directory, then activate it.
  2. Open Settings, PIJAlance News Intelligence and choose the buttons you want.
  3. Optional: paste a site key from platform.chatniai.com to run the check on your own page.

FAQ

Do I need an account?

No. The buttons work without one. A site key is only for newsrooms that want the check to run on their own page.

Does it slow my site?

The script loads asynchronously after the page content.

Where do I place the check box?

Type [news_intelligence] in any post, page or widget area.
