<p>GTLSS generates an <strong>AI Summary</strong> box that synthesises the content of a WordPress article into a <strong>maximum of 5 key points</strong>, helping readers quickly understand what the post is about before reading it in full.</p>
<p>The summary is generated via the OpenAI API and can be displayed in two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatically</strong> — inserted before the first H2 heading in the article</li>
<li><strong>Manually</strong> — using the <code>[gtlss]</code> shortcode anywhere in the content</li>
</ul>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI-powered summary generation (up to 5 bullet points)</li>
<li>Automatic insertion before the first H2 heading</li>
<li><code>[gtlss]</code> shortcode for manual placement</li>
<li>Per-post generation via a dedicated metabox in the editor</li>
<li>Bulk generation across multiple posts from the admin panel</li>
<li>Configurable fallback position when no H2 heading is found</li>
<li>Summaries stored in post meta — never re-generated without user action</li>
<li>No telemetry, no tracking, no external data collection</li>
<li>Secure API key storage (not autoloaded, masked in the UI)</li>
<li>Fully internationalised and ready for translation</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Enter your OpenAI API key in <strong>GTLSS <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings</strong></li>
<li>Enable AI generation with the opt-in toggle</li>
<li>Open any post, click <strong>Generate</strong> in the AI Summary metabox</li>
<li>The summary is saved to the post and displayed automatically</li>
</ol>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>An <a href="https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys" rel="nofollow ugc">OpenAI API key</a> (free trial or paid account)</li>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
</ul>
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the <strong>OpenAI API</strong> to generate article summaries.</p>
<p>When you trigger a summary generation (single post or bulk), the plugin sends the <strong>full text content of the post</strong> to OpenAI. No other data is transmitted.</p>
<p>Requests are made <strong>only when</strong>:</p>
<ol>
<li>A valid OpenAI API key has been entered in the plugin settings</li>
<li>AI generation has been explicitly enabled by an administrator</li>
<li>A generation is manually triggered (no automatic background processing)</li>
</ol>
