Trendly AI Post is a free AI content generator for WordPress. It picks up real trending topics from Google News and writes a full blog post for you in one click, with the title, headings, featured image, internal links, FAQ section and schema already in place.
You bring your own API key from any one of these three AI services:
<ul>
<li>Google Gemini (free tier available)</li>
<li>OpenAI ChatGPT (GPT-4o mini, GPT-4o, GPT-4.1)</li>
<li>Anthropic Claude (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus)</li>
</ul>
And pick how you want the images:
<ul>
<li>Pexels stock photos (free)</li>
<li>DALL-E 3 by OpenAI</li>
<li>Google Imagen 3</li>
</ul>
That is it. No subscription, no premium tier, no hidden upsells. The whole plugin is GPL and stays free forever.
Built and maintained by Nitish Sharma (WordPress Developer). See my <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/nitishsharma6/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress.org profile</a> for other plugins and support.
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>One-click SEO post. The plugin writes the full article with title, intro, H2 and H3 headings, FAQ, internal links, featured image and JSON-LD schema. Ready to publish.</li>
<li>Trending topics from 25+ regions (India, US, UK, AU, DE, FR, IT, ES, BR, JP and more). Fetched live from Google News every cron run and deduped so you never write the same story twice.</li>
<li>Three AI brains. Gemini for free and fast. GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet for premium long-form. Claude Opus for the most nuanced output. Configure all three at once and switch per post if you want.</li>
<li>Automatic featured images. Free Pexels stock photos, or AI-generated images using DALL-E 3 or Imagen 3 with smart prompt rewriting so they look editorial.</li>
<li>Auto schedule or manual. Set 1 or 2 posts per day on autopilot, or generate manually from the Generate page. Drafts can go to a Review Queue so you stay in control.</li>
<li>SEO built in. Article and FAQPage JSON-LD schema, OpenGraph and Twitter Card meta, auto Table of Contents, reading-time badge, internal linking automation and a Related Articles grid. No extra SEO plugin needed.</li>
<li>Brand Voice trainer. Paste 3 paragraphs of your own writing, click Analyze and every new post will sound like you.</li>
<li>Custom prompt templates. News, How-to, Listicle and Opinion ship built-in. Clone any one of them and tweak the tone, length and structure.</li>
<li>Analytics page. See exactly how many posts you have generated, which AI wrote them, how features are landing and what your top source topics are.</li>
<li>Privacy first. No telemetry, no tracking pixels, no third-party CDN, no OAuth. Your API keys live in your own database and never leave your server.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Pick your AI provider (Gemini, OpenAI or Claude) and paste your API key. Free tiers are available for all three.</li>
<li>Pick your image source (Pexels, DALL-E 3 or Imagen 3).</li>
<li>Choose a region and a writing style (News, How-to, Listicle, Opinion or your own template).</li>
<li>Turn on auto-schedule, or generate manually from a trending topic or your own idea.</li>
<li>Each post comes out with a featured image, internal links, FAQ accordion, JSON-LD schema and social captions. Fully SEO-ready.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Who is this for</h4>
Bloggers, niche site owners, news publishers, affiliate marketers, agencies, SaaS founders and ecommerce store owners. Basically anyone who wants a steady content schedule without spending hours every day brainstorming and writing.
If you run a tech blog, a sports news site, a finance affiliate site or a lifestyle niche site, this plugin will keep your archive fresh and Google happy.
