Description
SmartJose AI Auto Post Generator creates native WordPress posts from an administrator-supplied topic or a topic queue.
The WordPress.org edition includes manual article generation with OpenAI and Google Gemini and does not impose a monthly article quota. Your AI provider may charge for API usage under its own terms.
Included in the WordPress.org edition:
- OpenAI Responses API with structured output.
- Google Gemini structured output.
- Native WordPress posts, categories, tags, excerpts and slugs.
- Automatic table of contents built from final H2/H3 headings.
- Draft, pending-review or publish workflow.
- A manual topic queue with duplicate-topic checks before an AI request is sent.
- Local logs with API-key-like values redacted.
- No custom AI proxy and no executable code downloaded from external services.
A separately distributed Pro version adds code for three additional AI providers, OpenAI-generated JPG featured images, verified same-site internal linking, custom editorial instructions, Yoast SEO / Rank Math metadata integration and WP-Cron Autopilot. Premium implementation code is removed from the WordPress.org package.
The plugin uses your own provider API keys. AI requests are sent directly from your WordPress server to the external provider selected by an administrator.
External services
This WordPress.org edition can connect to the following external services after an administrator saves an API key and chooses a provider.
OpenAI
* Endpoint: https://api.openai.com/v1/responses
* Data sent: administrator topic/keywords, language, the plugin-generated prompt and article-generation settings.
