Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK)
HiveEO uses your own API keys (Gemini, OpenAI, Perplexity). Keys are stored in your WordPress database. AI generation requests are routed through the haiv3.com relay service (see External Services below) which fetches the prompt template and returns it to your server — your API key is then used on your server to call the AI provider directly.

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the following external services:
1. Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) 
Used to generate community comments, seed threads, AI product descriptions, and visibility probe responses. Requests are made only when you click a generate button — never automatically. Your Gemini API key is sent directly from your WordPress server to Google. Data sent includes your prompt text (business context, product details, thread content). See Google’s <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
2. OpenAI API (api.openai.com) 
Used optionally in the Visibility Tracker to probe ChatGPT responses. Only used if you add an OpenAI API key in Settings. See OpenAI’s <a href="https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
3. Perplexity API (api.perplexity.ai) 
Used optionally in the Visibility Tracker to probe Perplexity responses. Only used if you add a Perplexity API key in Settings. See Perplexity’s <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/legal/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/legal/terms-of-service" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
4. Reddit API (reddit.com) 
Used in the Threads tab to fetch live trending threads from relevant subreddits. Requests are made only when you click “Refresh live threads” — never automatically. No personal data is sent. Data received includes public post titles, scores, and URLs. See Reddit’s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/policies/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/policies/user-agreement" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>.
5. Hacker News API (hacker-news.firebaseio.com) 
Used in the Threads tab to fetch live trending Hacker News stories. Requests are made only when you click “Refresh live threads” — never automatically. No personal data is sent. Data received includes public story titles, scores, and URLs. See Y Combinator’s <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/legal" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/legal#privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.
<h3>Local Data Storage</h3>
AI Bot Visit Log 
The plugin optionally logs visits from known AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.) to your site. This data is stored entirely within your own WordPress database — no data is sent to any external service. Each log entry stores: the bot name, the URL visited, the timestamp, and a 12-character hash of the visitor IP address (derived using your site’s WordPress salt — the original IP is never stored). This log is used only to display AI crawler activity in the Infrastructure panel.

IASM – AI Search Visibility Monitor helps you understand how AI systems and AI-powered search engines see your website.
Modern AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Claude do not interpret websites like humans do. 
They rely on specific, machine-readable files to understand a site’s structure, purpose, and authority.
This plugin allows you to quickly verify whether your website is exposing the key AI-readable files required for proper AI interpretation and AI-driven discoverability.
<h3>What this plugin checks</h3>
The free version verifies the presence and HTTP status of the following AI-oriented files:
<ul>
<li>llms.txt</li>
<li>humans.txt</li>
<li>metadata.json</li>
<li>sitemap-ia.xml</li>
<li>ai-plugin.json</li>
</ul>
Each of these files plays a specific role in how AI systems classify, interpret, and potentially reference your website.
<h3>Why this matters</h3>
If these files are missing, inaccessible, or misconfigured, AI systems may:
<ul>
<li>Misinterpret your website’s purpose or intent</li>
<li>Ignore relevant sections or content</li>
<li>Fail to reference or cite your site in AI-generated answers</li>
<li>Treat your website as low-confidence or generic</li>
</ul>
IASM helps you detect these issues early, before they affect your visibility in AI-powered search engines and assistants.
<h3>Who this plugin is for</h3>
<ul>
<li>Website owners preparing for AI-driven search</li>
<li>SEO professionals exploring Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)</li>
<li>Developers building AI-friendly web infrastructure</li>
<li>Businesses that want to future-proof their online presence</li>
</ul>
<h3>About the Premium version</h3>
IASM Free is designed as a diagnostic tool. 
The Premium version allows you to generate, manage, and keep these AI-readable files updated automatically, ensuring your website remains consistently optimized for AI systems.
Developed by the team behind IA SEO Generator.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
IASM – AI Search Visibility Monitor does not collect, store, or transmit personal data.
The checks in this Free version use WordPress’ HTTP API to request your own site’s public URLs (for example: /llms.txt, /sitemap-ia.xml) to verify their HTTP status codes.
No third-party services are contacted by the plugin.
