AI tool to create SEO titles, outlines, drafts and images with a guided workflow, keyword research, and social media automation.

== Description ==

[**WriteRush**](https://writerush.ai) is an all-in-one AI content creation tool built for WordPress. It takes you from a single idea or keyword to a fully written, SEO-optimized, publish-ready blog — including AI-generated images — without ever leaving your dashboard.

Most AI writers hand you a blank box and generic output. WriteRush is different: it follows a guided, step-by-step workflow (topic → research → outline → draft → SEO → images → publish) and learns your brand voice, so the content sounds like you instead of a robot. You stay in control at every step and can edit or regenerate anything before publishing.

Beyond blogs, WriteRush helps you repurpose content into social media posts and campaigns, generate product copy, and write directly inside Elementor, the Gutenberg block editor, and the Classic Editor.

The plugin's editing, content management, and publishing all run on your own WordPress site. The AI generation features are powered by an external service (documented in "External services" below) and require a free WriteRush account.

== Key Features ==

**Brand Voice Training**
Teach the AI how you write so every piece of content stays consistent and on-brand. Train it three ways: paste a text snippet, upload a file (PDF, DOC, or TXT), or use **WP IQ** to learn from your own published WordPress posts and pages. Create multiple voices for different tones — professional for blogs, casual for social.

**SERP-Based Research & Outlines**
WriteRush analyzes the current search results for your keyword, studies top-ranking pages, and turns those patterns into a structured, editable outline. You get a clear breakdown of what is already working instead of guessing or researching competitors manually.

**Guided & One-Click Blog Generation**
Write long-form content step by step with built-in prompts and structure, or generate a complete, ready-to-edit draft in one click. Either way you get clean, well-structured output you can refine.

**Section Regeneration**
Instead of redoing a whole article, refine individual sections with custom prompts — shorten, expand, simplify, or rewrite a single paragraph while leaving the rest untouched.

**Real-Time SEO Score**
Get live SEO feedback as you write, with actionable suggestions, keyword-coverage tracking, and readability analysis — no separate SEO tool needed.

**Smart Title Generation**
Generate multiple SEO-friendly, high-converting title options based on proven patterns and SERP insights, and regenerate to explore new angles.

**AI Image Generation & Stock Images**
Create custom AI images that match your content, or automatically insert relevant stock photos from Unsplash. Generated and selected images save straight to your WordPress Media Library.

**Direct Publishing to WordPress**
Send finished content to WordPress drafts in one click, with formatting preserved — no copy-paste and no manual cleanup.

**Social Media Content & Campaigns**
Turn a blog into platform-ready posts for Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, plan campaigns, and schedule from a built-in calendar.

**Product Module**
Generate full product content packages — descriptions, sales-focused page copy, and customer-style reviews — tuned for e-commerce, SaaS, and digital products and aligned with your brand voice.

**Editor Integrations**
Use WriteRush natively where you already work: an **Elementor** widget (Write, Rewrite, Keep Writing, Summarize, Generate Image), a native **Gutenberg block**, and **Classic Editor** support.

**Keyword Research & 15+ Languages**
Research keywords to plan content, and generate in 15+ languages.

== How It Works ==

1. **Train your brand voice (optional).** Import your posts, upload samples, or paste text so the AI matches your tone.
2. **Start with a topic.** Enter your keyword, choose a blog type (how-to, listicle, guide, comparison, etc.), and define audience, tone, and purpose.
3. **Generate a smart outline.** Build a SERP-based, intent-focused outline and edit the headings and structure.
4. **Generate and refine the draft.** Produce the full article, then regenerate sections, check the SEO score, and add AI or stock images.
5. **Publish and promote.** Send it to WordPress drafts and create matching social media posts and campaigns.

== Who Is It For ==

Bloggers, content and SEO marketers, agencies, freelancers, small businesses, and e-commerce brands — anyone who wants to produce higher-quality content faster while keeping a consistent brand voice.

== External services ==

WriteRush is an AI-powered content tool. Editing, content management, and publishing run on your own WordPress site, but the AI generation features and a few optional features rely on external (third-party) services. This section documents each external service the plugin connects to, what data is sent, when it is sent, and links to its terms and privacy policy. By using the related feature you consent to the data transfer described for that service. All communication uses encrypted HTTPS.

= 1. WriteRush AI service (back.writerush.ai) =

What it is: WriteRush's own cloud service and the only service the plugin contacts directly for AI work. It performs all AI processing (topic analysis, outlines, titles, drafts, section rewriting, SEO suggestions, keyword/SERP research, image generation, and product and social copy) and brokers the providers and social connections below. A free WriteRush account and license key (from https://app.writerush.ai) authenticate these requests.

When/what data is sent: only when you use an AI feature (e.g. generating content, an image, keyword/SERP research, training a brand voice, or activating/checking your license). Data sent: your license key; the prompts, keywords, and tone/audience settings you enter; and the source material you choose (for example, the posts or files you select to train a brand voice). WordPress passwords, user emails, other users' data, and database contents are never sent.

- Privacy Policy: https://writerush.ai/privacy-policy/

= 2. AI providers used by the WriteRush service =

To generate results, the WriteRush service processes your submitted prompts using the third-party AI providers below. The plugin does not contact these providers directly:

- OpenAI — text generation. Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use — Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
- Google (Gemini) — text and image generation. Terms: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Anthropic (Claude) — text generation. Terms: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms — Privacy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy

SERP and keyword research data is retrieved by the WriteRush service from search-results data providers.

= 3. Unsplash (stock images) =

What it is: a free stock-photo service used by WriteRush's automatic and section image features.

When/what data is sent: when you use a stock-image feature, the WriteRush service searches Unsplash for your topic and returns results; your site and browser then load the selected images directly from Unsplash (images.unsplash.com). Standard request data (such as your IP address) is visible to Unsplash when serving images. No account credentials or personal content are sent to Unsplash.

- Terms of Service: https://unsplash.com/terms
- Privacy Policy: https://unsplash.com/privacy

= 4. Social media platforms (optional) =

What it is: when you connect a social account and publish or schedule posts, WriteRush delivers them to the chosen platform (for example Facebook or Instagram) through the WriteRush social service.

When/what data is sent: only when you explicitly connect an account or publish/schedule a post. Data sent: the authorization tokens you approve and the post content (caption and image) you choose to publish.

- Privacy Policy: https://writerush.ai/privacy-policy/

= Accounts and AI credits =

The plugin and all of its on-site features are free to use. The AI generation features run on the external WriteRush service, which uses an account-based credit allowance. A free account includes a starting allowance of AI credits with no time limit; more credits are available through optional paid plans. Running out of credits only pauses new AI generation — content already saved on your site stays fully accessible and editable.

== Installation ==

1. Install **WriteRush** from the Plugins screen, or upload it to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen.
3. Create a free account and generate your license key at [app.writerush.ai](https://app.writerush.ai).
4. In WordPress, go to **WriteRush -> License**, paste your key, and click **Activate**.
5. Start creating AI content and images from your dashboard.

== Compatibility ==

* WordPress 5.8 or higher
* Elementor, Gutenberg, and Classic Editor support
* Works with any theme and is multisite compatible
* 15+ languages, including Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, German, Portuguese, Turkish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Arabic, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need an account to use WriteRush? =
You need a free account at [app.writerush.ai](https://app.writerush.ai) to get a license key. The key authenticates the AI generation requests and tracks your usage allowance. It does not unlock plugin features — the plugin's on-site tools work without it.

= Is WriteRush free? =
Yes. The plugin is free and its on-site features are fully available. AI generation runs on the external WriteRush service and uses account credits; a free account includes a starting allowance with no time limit, and optional paid plans add more.

= How is WriteRush different from a general AI chatbot? =
Instead of a blank chat box, WriteRush is a guided content engine built for WordPress. It researches the SERP, builds structured outlines, scores SEO, manages social posts, and adapts to your brand voice to produce publish-ready content.

= Does WriteRush generate images? =
Yes. It includes AI image generation and can also insert relevant stock photos from Unsplash, saving them to your Media Library. See "External services".

= Can I edit and publish the content? =
Yes. You can edit or regenerate any section with custom prompts and publish directly to WordPress drafts in one click, with formatting preserved.

= Can I train the AI on my own writing? =
Yes. Train your brand voice from a text snippet, an uploaded file, or your existing WordPress posts (WP IQ), and create multiple voices for different tones.

= What happens when I reach my AI credit limit? =
New AI generation pauses until you add credits or upgrade. The plugin keeps working and all content already saved on your site stays accessible, editable, and publishable.

= Does WriteRush work with Yoast or Rank Math? =
Yes. It works alongside popular SEO plugins so you can optimize while you write, without leaving the editor.
