Create AI-assisted SEO content ideas and review-ready drafts through the provider-agnostic WordPress AI Client.

== Description ==

RankWeaver AI is a permanently useful editorial assistant for WordPress 7.0 and newer. Configure an AI provider using WordPress Settings > Connectors, build an idea queue, and generate WordPress drafts for human review. RankWeaver does not store provider credentials. There is no daily generation quota and no AI credit bundle; costs depend on the provider configured for the site.

Use RankWeaver as an AI-powered content creator: start a generation from the dashboard and it creates ideas or a complete SEO content draft for review. The Free edition does not schedule or publish posts automatically.

Free features:

* Provider-agnostic generation through the AI Client included in WordPress 7.0.
* Manual AI idea generation.
* Manual draft generation in background jobs.
* Custom website, niche, audience, style and length profile.
* Draft-only output for editorial review.
* Provider selection and credentials managed centrally by WordPress Connectors.
* No telemetry to Bytesweavers.

RankWeaver AI Pro is a separate commercial edition sold outside WordPress.org. It adds multiple named connections, fallback routing, scheduled workflows, RSS and sitemap discovery, research, image generation and advanced automation. No Pro implementation is included in this WordPress.org package.

== External services ==

RankWeaver does not directly integrate with a fixed AI provider. It uses the provider-agnostic AI Client included in WordPress 7.0. The site administrator chooses and configures the provider separately in WordPress Settings > Connectors.

When an administrator explicitly generates ideas or a draft after accepting RankWeaver's disclosure, WordPress sends the generation request to the configured AI provider. The request can contain the prompt, article topic, site name, niche, audience description, writing style, target length and other generation settings. This data is sent so the provider can generate the requested ideas or article draft. Provider credentials are managed by WordPress and are not stored by RankWeaver. No prompt, credential or generated output is sent to Bytesweavers.

The destination, processing conditions, charges, terms and privacy policy depend on the provider connector selected by the site administrator. Review the external-services disclosure supplied by that connector and the selected provider's policies before enabling generation.

The initial provider connectors maintained by the WordPress project support these services:

* OpenAI: https://openai.com/policies/services-agreement/ and https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
* Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms and https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
* Google Gemini: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms and https://policies.google.com/privacy

Other WordPress AI Client provider plugins may add different services. Their own plugin documentation identifies the service and applicable terms and privacy policy.
