<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
This plugin can connect to external services in two ways:
Option 1 — Managed Service (default, no setup required)
By default, this plugin routes requests through our secure API server for AI-powered content analysis and image matching. Content is processed in real-time and is not stored permanently.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: https://smart-image-block-production.up.railway.app</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://swellapps.ai/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://swellapps.ai/privacy-policy/</a></li>
</ul>
Option 2 — Your Own API Keys (Settings → Swell AI Image Block)
You may instead enter your own API keys. In this case, your WordPress site calls the APIs directly and no data passes through our server.
Our managed server and the direct-key mode both communicate with:
