SmartyPress AI Engine is a free AI engine that connects WordPress with AI models. Generate content, edit inline with Magic Wand, and automate post creation. All from your Gutenberg editor.
<h4>Quick Intro</h4>
No Ads Plugin. Completely Free. No extra fees — connection directly through your API key. 1 Minute Installation. No complex skills required, connect and create 50 posts in just 5 mins.
I built this free AI engine to bring OpenAI and Deepseek directly into the WordPress editor. Create SEO-optimized titles, generate full blog posts, write excerpts, or refine existing text — without leaving Gutenberg.
Start simple: open any post, click “SmartyPress AI Writer” in the toolbar, and generate a title. Then try Magic Wand on any block — select text, pick an action, and watch AI transform your content. Need 50 blog posts at once? Bulk generation handles that too.
This AI engine gives you two powerful workflows: a Content Generator panel for full posts and a Magic Wand for precise inline editing. Both work with OpenAI and Deepseek, so you pick the provider that fits your budget and quality needs.
