Description

SiteAssist AI Editorial Planner helps WordPress site owners build a structured publishing plan and generate AI-assisted blog articles using their own OpenAI API key.

The plugin can scan existing site content, build a brand profile, suggest article topics, organize them into a calendar, generate draft or published articles, create featured images, and estimate OpenAI API costs before content is generated.

Major capabilities include:

  • Site scan and content inventory for topic planning.
  • Brand profile generation and editing.
  • Publishing plan controls for frequency, article length, writing style, author, and category.
  • Editorial calendar with calendar and list views.
  • AI-assisted topic generation.
  • Article generation and post status handling.
  • Basic contextual internal linking controls.
  • Basic AI featured image generation.
  • Monthly API cost estimate and tracked usage summary.
  • Support for sites protected by HTTP Basic Authentication during scans.

This plugin requires an OpenAI API key. OpenAI API usage is billed separately by OpenAI based on the prompts, tokens, and image generation settings used.

The WordPress.org plugin includes the core planning, calendar, article generation, and basic featured image workflow.

An optional separately distributed advanced version is available for teams that need deeper editorial workflows, including SEO campaign planning, editorial review tools, automation workflows, advanced image controls, and client review/approval tools.

External Services

SiteAssist AI Editorial Planner connects to external services only when a site administrator uses features that require them.

OpenAI

The plugin connects to the OpenAI API at https://api.openai.com when a site administrator generates or reviews content, such as brand profiles, topic ideas, article drafts, article improvements, or AI-generated images. Depending on the feature being used, requests may include site scan summaries, brand profile details, article topics, selected settings, article draft content, internal-link candidates, image prompts, and related generation context. The plugin uses the OpenAI API key saved by the site administrator, and OpenAI API usage is billed separately by OpenAI.

FAQ

Does the plugin include an OpenAI API key?

No. The plugin is designed for bring-your-own-key usage. You add your own OpenAI API key in the plugin settings, and API usage is billed by OpenAI to that account.

How do I get an OpenAI API key?

Visit the OpenAI Platform at https://platform.openai.com/, create or sign in to an OpenAI account, and generate an API key from your developer dashboard. Keep your key private and paste it into the SiteAssist AI Editorial Planner settings screen.

Does the plugin guarantee search rankings or AI search mentions?

No. The plugin helps create structured, useful, internally aligned content that may support search visibility and AI-powered discovery, but it does not guarantee rankings, traffic, conversions, or mentions in AI answer tools.

Can the plugin delete its data on uninstall?

Yes. In Settings, enable the uninstall cleanup option before uninstalling the plugin. When enabled, uninstall removes SiteAssist AI Editorial Planner settings, the saved OpenAI API key, site scans, brand profile, generated calendar topics, usage records, and plugin-owned post metadata. It does not delete generated WordPress posts, published articles, draft articles, featured images, or Media Library attachments.
