SmartyPress AI Engine is a free, open-source WordPress plugin that connects your site with AI providers (OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Yandex GPT, GigaChat) for content and image generation directly from the dashboard.
Generate SEO-optimized titles, full blog posts, excerpts, and images using AI. Edit inline with Magic Wand in Gutenberg, bulk-generate up to 50 posts, or create images from text prompts — all without leaving WordPress.
What You Can Do with SmartyPress AI Engine
SmartyPress AI Engine brings the most common editorial AI tasks into WordPress so editors do not have to copy text between external chat tools and the dashboard. You can generate article ideas, create full drafts, improve existing blocks, translate text, write excerpts, create image prompts, and save AI images directly to the Media Library. The documentation below is organized by workflow so you can start with provider setup, then move into content generation, Magic Wand editing, image generation, SEO analysis, settings, developer hooks, and troubleshooting.
Recommended Reading Path
Start with Installation and Activation, then follow the Quick Start Guide to connect your first API provider. After that, choose the provider article that matches your API key: OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Yandex GPT, or GigaChat. Once a provider is connected, continue with Single Post Generation, Plan-Based Content Generation, Bulk Post Generation, and Magic Wand. If your site uses images, read the Image Generator articles. Developers should finish with Hooks, Filters and REST API.
SEO and Editorial Workflow
For best results, use SmartyPress AI Engine as an assistant, not as an autopublishing tool. Generate drafts, review facts, adjust headings, add internal links, and confirm Rank Math SEO fields before publishing. The documentation pages are written to support that workflow: each article explains what the feature does, when to use it, how to configure it, and how to verify the result from the WordPress editor and frontend.
