Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Google provides a generous free tier that is more than enough for most websites. It allows for thousands of summaries per month at no cost.
No. The plugin only sends the text of a post to the Google AI API for the purpose of generating a summary. The summary is then stored in your site’s database to prevent repeated API calls. Your original content is not stored or shared elsewhere.
