Privacy-First AI Tools for WordPress with AI-Kit

AI-Kit adds practical AI helpers to WordPress while keeping privacy first:

  • Free (local-only): uses Chrome’s built-in on-device AI when available.
  • Pro (optional): can also call your own AWS backend (deployed with the WP Suite AI-Kit Backend SAR template) for fallback and advanced features.
Privacy by default

When on-device AI is available, content stays in the browser — no server round-trip.

Where AI-Kit shows up in WordPress

Gutenberg editor

  • AI-Kit Sidebar: generate post SEO metadata (title/excerpt/etc.), write content with an Apply/Insert workflow.
  • Inline tools: Proofread / Rewrite / Translate in a compact toolbar group for editable text selections.
  • Image blocks: a dedicated SEO Metadata panel for image-like blocks (core/image, core/cover, core/media-text).

Media Library

Generate image SEO metadata (alt text, title, caption, description) from:

  • List and Grid views
  • Attachment details panel
  • Attachment edit screen
  • Bulk generation + preview + accept flows

Frontend (Pro)

  • AI‑Kit Chatbot
  • AI‑Kit Feature block
  • AI‑Kit Doc Search block
  • [smartcloud-ai-kit-feature] shortcode
  • [smartcloud-ai-kit-doc-search] shortcode

These surfaces let visitors run AI actions (summarize / write / rewrite / translate / proofread) on selected content with a configurable UI, while the chatbot answers questions through a Knowledge Base–powered Amazon Bedrock conversation so responses stay grounded in your own documents.

Knowledge Base (Pro)

Automatically synchronize approved public WordPress posts, pages, and selected custom post types into the Knowledge Base. Configure per-type approval policies, combine manual policy with external and WordPress-derived vocabularies, and inspect delivery and ingestion status in the admin. See Knowledge Sync for enrollment, cron scheduling, metadata layers, and source URL overrides.
