Backend-Vorschau

A "Summarize with AI" dropdown and a "Prefer on Google" button for any post type. Both are plain links: no script, no cookie, no consent needed. Data only reaches a service once a visitor clicks.

AI services

Drag the rows to reorder them. "Search field" means the service behaves like a search box rather than a prompt box, so it receives the short prompt. {prompt} in a URL is replaced by the encoded prompt.

Google Gemini is missing on purpose. It has no working URL prefill, so a link there opens an empty window for most people. Google AI Mode takes its place: same mechanics as a search field, and it does accept a prompt.

Order	Active	Search field
⋮⋮	ChatGPT	Uses the short prompt
⋮⋮	Claude	Uses the short prompt
⋮⋮	Perplexity	Uses the short prompt
⋮⋮	Grok	Uses the short prompt
⋮⋮	Google AI Mode	Uses the short prompt
Pro Freely defined services with their own name, URL template and icon are planned for the Pro version. Until then the URL templates above can be edited, and developers can register services with the wpais_provider_defaults filter.

Prompt

The prompt is public and it is an instruction to somebody else's system.

It travels in the link, so anyone can read it, and it lands in an AI service that is not yours. Do not use it to inject harmful code, to smuggle hidden instructions past a reader, or to talk a model into false statements about people, products or competitors. Prompts of that kind can breach the terms of the service, and misleading claims about your own site can be an unfair business practice.

Write what a fair summary needs: stay with the content of the page, no invented figures, no instruction that pushes a model towards judging in your favor.

Long prompt

This is a page from {sitename} ({sitedomain}). Please summarize it clearly and in plain language.

Instructions:

* Stay strictly within what the page says. Add nothing from other sources and guess at nothing.
* Do not state any figure, date, name or role the page does not support.
* Distinguish between documented facts and opinion.
* Match the tone of the page and avoid marketing filler.
* Where the page gives a source and a review date, carry both across.

Output format:

* 3 to 5 key points as a list
* Then a short summary in full sentences
* The page address at the end

Visit this address, read the content and summarize it: {url}

Goes to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok. Leave the field empty and save to restore the default. Avoid long dashes: a model tends to copy the punctuation of its input into its output.

Short prompt

Summarize the page {url}. State only what the page supports.

Goes to every service marked as a search field, such as Google AI Mode.

Placeholders

{url} Full address of the current page
{title} Title of the current page
{excerpt} Excerpt, or the first 55 words of the content
{sitename} Site title
{sitedomain} Domain without www
{tagline} Site tagline
{author} Author of the current post
{date} Publication date in the site format
{modified} Last modified date in the site format
{type} Singular label of the post type
{lang} Language code of the current page, for example de or en

Copy item

Add an entry that copies the prompt to the clipboard

Useful for tools without URL prefill, Gemini among them: copy, open the tool, paste.

Per entry

Allow a different prompt on single entries

Adds a field to the editor sidebar of the selected post types.

Prefer on Google

URL

This is a one-off, site wide setting on the visitor side, not a per-page one. It tells Google to prefer this source in their results. Any other target URL works too, for example a Google Business Profile or a follow page.

Icon

The G keeps its original colors. A recolored logo would be the riskier choice, trademark wise, than the correct one.

Placement

Post types

Beitrag post Seite page

Every public post type on this site, custom ones included.

Also on the front page

Position

Applies to both buttons unless one of them gets its own position below.

Own position

Summarize with AI

Prefer on Google

Buttons that share a position are rendered as one group.

Alignment

Floating rail

Side

Distance from the edge in pixels

Only used by the floating rail position. From 1024 pixels of viewport width the rail stands upright, below that it moves to the bottom edge and shows icons only.

Shortcodes for manual placement

A position is set to "Nowhere automatically". Use one of these shortcodes to place that button yourself.

Both buttons [briefwing]

Summarize with AI only [briefwing buttons="ai"]

Prefer on Google only [briefwing buttons="prefer"]

Every shortcode also takes style, scheme, size, align, variant and class, for example [briefwing buttons="ai" style="outline" size="sm"]. Attributes left out fall back to the settings.

Appearance

Style

Color scheme

Automatic reads prefers-color-scheme, so the buttons follow the same switch as the operating system.

Size

Accent color

Text on the accent color

Pick a pair with a contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1.

Hover colors

Background on hover

Text on hover

Applies to both buttons and to the open state of the dropdown. Leave both empty and the hover color is derived from the accent color. In the Minimal style there is no background, so the hover background color is used as the text color there.

Pill colors

Background of the pill

Text in the pill

Only used by the Pill style. Empty means a light tint of the accent color.

Typography

Web safe families only, nothing is loaded from a third party.

Inherit font family and size from the theme

The checkbox wins over the selection above.

Mobile

Below 768 pixels show icons only instead of wide buttons

The label stays in the accessible name, so screen readers still announce the full text.

Extra CSS classes

Plugin CSS

Load the stylesheet

Switch it off only if you style the buttons entirely in your theme.

Preview

Prefer on Google

The preview reacts to style, scheme, size, alignment, colors and font. Hover both buttons to judge the hover state. The links lead nowhere here.

Advanced

Outgoing links Add rel="nofollow" (rel="noopener" is always set)

Manual placement

Both buttons [briefwing]

Summarize with AI only [briefwing buttons="ai"]

Prefer on Google only [briefwing buttons="prefer"]

Every shortcode also takes style, scheme, size, align, variant and class, for example [briefwing buttons="ai" style="outline" size="sm"]. Attributes left out fall back to the settings.

Block: search for "BriefWing" in the block inserter.

Template tag, for example in header.php or single.php:

<?php wpais_render( array( 'buttons' => 'both' ) ); ?>

Filters

wpais_should_display decide per request whether the buttons appear
wpais_prompt change the finished prompt
wpais_prompt_context add your own placeholders
wpais_provider_defaults register additional services
wpais_fonts add your own font stacks
wpais_group_html change the markup

Pro in preparation

The free version stays as it is: two buttons, no tracking, no account. These are the features being built on top of it.

coming soon

Floating features

More out of the floating rail: reading progress, share targets, back to top, and a rail that reacts to scrolling.

coming soon

Your own AI services

Add any number of services with their own name, URL template and icon, straight from the settings screen.

coming soon

Markdown generator

A clean Markdown version of every entry, the format language models read best, plus a copy button for it.

BriefWing Version 1.0.0

What the plugin does

People no longer only search, they ask. They copy an address into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok or Google AI Mode and have the page explained to them. This plugin puts that step where it belongs: on the page itself, with a prompt you wrote, instead of leaving it to whatever a reader types.

The second button asks Google to prefer this source in a reader's own results. It is a one-off setting on their side, and it only costs them a click.

What you get out of it

You set the frame. The prompt says: stay with the page, invent no figures, name the source. That is the difference between a summary and a guess.
A signal that this site is meant to be read by machines as well, which is what AI visibility, or GEO, is about.
Loyal readers can tell Google to favor your source, once, in one click.
No tracking, no cookies, no third party request before a click, so no consent banner grows because of this plugin.

Privacy in one paragraph

The buttons are links. Nothing is loaded from a third party until somebody clicks, and no cookie is set. On the click the reader's IP address and the prompt reach the service they picked. That deserves one sentence in your privacy notice, and the README carries a wording you can copy.
