<p><strong>DZS AI Featured Image Generator</strong> is a powerful administrative utility designed to massively optimize your publishing workflow. Instantly scan your entire WordPress website for posts missing their featured images, block them into a seamless list, and dynamically invoke AI to generate and sideload high-quality imagery based precisely on your post’s content.</p>
<p>Designed for efficiency, this plugin interfaces with the latest leading generative image engines:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI DALL-E 2:</strong> Excellent for budget-conscious, ultra-fast background generations.</li>
<li><strong>OpenAI DALL-E 3:</strong> Unmatched visual capabilities and strict prompt adherence.</li>
<li><strong>Nano Banana 2 (Google Gemini Image API):</strong> Direct integration with native Google Gemini models for generating crisp, optimized images without resorting to third-party endpoints.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Global Scan:</strong> A dedicated admin table identifies every post without a featured thumbnail.</li>
<li><strong>1-Click Generation:</strong> Hit Generate, and let the AI autonomously pull your post title and excerpt, pipe it into your custom prompt template, and formulate a relevant image.</li>
<li><strong>Custom Aspect Ratios:</strong> Define standard (1024×1024) or completely custom dimensional constraints (e.g., 1024×1792). The plugin seamlessly requests the native scale or autonomously refines and crops the raw image down locally using WordPress’s <code>WP_Image_Editor</code> class.</li>
<li><strong>Native Media Library Delivery:</strong> Automatically sideloads API arrays, converts Base64 formats, strictly encodes everything down to a lightweight <code>.jpg</code>, and seamlessly attaches directly to the post.</li>
<li><strong>Dynamic Shortcodes:</strong> Wrap custom prompt variables like <code>{{post_title}}</code> and <code>{{post_content}}</code> to generate highly specific custom images.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on external, third-party generative artificial intelligence APIs to generate post featured images. Based on your configuration, requests will be routed to either OpenAI or Google Gemini:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>OpenAI API:</strong> Used for image generation with DALL-E models.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Data Sent:</strong> The prompt text consisting of the post title and part of the post content (up to 1,000 characters). No user personal data or website identifying details are sent.</li>
