AI-Kit helps teams cut reliance on SaaS tools and deliver better content faster.
Free (local-only) mode is designed for recent desktop Chrome builds where on-device AI is available/enabled (availability depends on Chrome version, OS, and device capabilities).
Pro can additionally use backend-only or backend-fallback modes so features can keep working even when on-device AI isn’t available.
AI-Kit checks capabilities first. If on-device AI is unsupported, and backend is not configured, the AI buttons simply don't appear, ensuring a broken-free experience.
No. The free plugin relies entirely on the AI models inside Chrome (Gemini Nano). No extra accounts needed.
The SAR template lets you choose different auth modes for public (frontend) endpoints vs admin endpoints using FrontendApiAuthMode and AdminApiAuthMode (Allowed values: NONE, IAM, COGNITO).
For public endpoints you can keep it open (NONE) and add reCAPTCHA Enterprise protection, while admin endpoints are secure by default (recommended: IAM).
Yes. The backend template includes API Gateway throttling controls (rate and burst limits) separately for frontend and admin endpoints, and it also supports AWS WAF with allow/block IP ranges.
Nowhere. Text is processed on your device. If you use the optional Enterprise backend, it stays in your private AWS account.
Yes. Since the logic is JavaScript-based in the browser, it works perfectly on static exports (Netlify, S3, CloudFront).
smartcloud-ai-kit-feature shortcode for other editors/builders, and developers can also integrate features via the Developer API (JavaScript surface under globalThis.WpSuite.plugins.aiKit.features).Only if you enable them. Depending on configuration and edition, AI-Kit can integrate with Google reCAPTCHA v3, a customer-configured backend endpoint (Pro), the optional WPSuite workspace connection, and (optionally) Amazon Cognito for authentication flows.
Yes. The Pro chatbot is configurable from WP Admin (appearance, labels, behavior), supports language and text direction (LTR/RTL/auto), lets you customize the open button (position, label, optional base64 icon), and includes a Preview mode to try settings instantly.
AI toolbox right in the block editor. Rephrase, shorten, extend, or change tone – with no context switching.
Generate accessible alt text and meaningful captions for images in one click using multimodal AI.
Define "Shared Context" to describe your brand voice. AI-Kit reads this to keep generated content on-brand.
Drop a “Summarize this article” button for visitors. They get a TL;DR powered by their own browser.
Wire AI-Kit into Elementor templates or classic themes via shortcodes. No rebuild required.
Optional AWS integration for RAG, Knowledge Bases, and secure chat when browser AI isn't enough.
