FAQ

1. How does this plugin work without an API key?

The plugin cleverly constructs a special link. When a user clicks the button, it opens their chosen AI tool in a new browser tab and automatically passes in the instruction to summarize your article’s content. The user uses their own account with the AI service.

2. Is this plugin really free to use?

Yes, 100% free. Because it works client-side, there are no API costs for you to worry about.

3. Can I change the style or position of the button?

Yes, the Lite version includes basic settings to adjust the button’s position and appearance to best fit your theme.

4. What is the difference between the Lite and Pro versions?

The Lite version is a great way to start, offering summaries for one AI platform. The Pro version will be a complete engagement toolkit, supporting 6+ AI platforms, offering an Advanced Design Engine, a Smart Prompt Library, and a built-in analytics dashboard.

5. When will the Pro version be released?

It’s coming very soon! We are putting the final touches on it to ensure it’s the most powerful and user-friendly summary plugin on the market.

6. Will I be able to upgrade easily from Lite to Pro?

Absolutely. We will provide a smooth upgrade path. When you install the Pro version, it will automatically handle the transition.

7. Is the plugin compatible with my theme?

Yes. The plugin is designed to be lightweight and follows WordPress best practices to ensure maximum compatibility with all popular themes, including Astra, Hello Elementor, OceanWP, GeneratePress, and Kadence.

8. Is it compatible with caching plugins?

Yes! The plugin works seamlessly with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Autoptimize, LiteSpeed Cache, and other major caching solutions because of its client-side nature.

9. Do you offer support for the Lite version?

We provide basic support through the WordPress.org support forums. Dedicated priority support will be available for Pro users.

10. Does this use my server’s resources to generate summaries?

No. The plugin is 100% client-side. It sends the request from the user’s browser directly to the AI service, so it puts zero load on your web server.

11. What AI model is used for the summary?

The plugin directs the user to a third-party AI service like ChatGPT. The summary quality is determined by the specific model that service is using at the time (e.g., GPT-3.5, GPT-4, etc.).

12. Will using this plugin improve my SEO?

While the primary benefit is user experience, improved engagement metrics like time-on-page can positively influence SEO rankings. It signals to search engines that visitors find your content valuable.

13. Can the AI misunderstand or misinterpret my article?

AI is powerful but not perfect. The quality of a summary can depend on the article’s complexity and the AI model’s capabilities. The Lite version uses a default prompt to guide the AI.
