Raptor AI Author Personas pairs two ideas: a brand voice (the rules for how content should read, such as tone, vocabulary, do’s and don’ts, and reading level) and reusable author characters that carry that voice along with a personality. You define a character once, then pick it in the post editor and the AI writes in that exact voice.
The plugin runs on your own WordPress site and adds no external server. You connect your own AI provider key and pay the provider directly.
<h4>What you get for free</h4>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited reusable personas, each with the full character builder (identity, voice, rules, style example, output defaults).</li>
<li>Generate posts inside the editor, in both the block editor and the Classic editor.</li>
<li>Full regenerate.</li>
<li>All supported text providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Moonshot).</li>
<li>A personas dashboard.</li>
<li>Clean, valid, accessible HTML output, with readability best practices applied.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Optional display only byline.</li>
<li>Read only awareness of your existing SEO fields (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress).</li>
<li>Rewrite existing content in a persona voice.</li>
<li>Bulk generation from a list of rows.</li>
<li>Infographic suggestions, and image generation with OpenAI or Gemini.</li>
<li>An AI content reviewer that checks against a consistent rubric.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How the output stays clean</h4>
The AI is asked to write simple HTML using a small set of allowed tags. Whatever it returns is then parsed, sanitized against a strict allowlist, and tidied on your server before it ever reaches the editor, so the result is always valid and safe.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin can send content you choose to generate, rewrite, or review to third party AI providers, using the API key you configure in the settings. A request is sent only when you click a generate, rewrite, review, or infographic action. No content is sent automatically.
