About AI Content Autopilot
From the official readme · v2.2.0Description
AI Content Autopilot automates your content pipeline. It fetches news from RSS feeds you configure, uses AI to write unique articles based on those news items, generates landscape featured images, and publishes them to your WordPress site — either as drafts for review or directly.
Features:
- Up to 3 RSS feeds (RSS 2.0 and Atom)
- AI-powered article writing via OpenRouter (supports 7+ models including Gemini, Claude, GPT, and Qwen)
- AI-generated landscape featured images via fal.ai (FLUX, Grok Imagine, and more)
- Full image SEO: AI-generated alt text, captions, and descriptions
- Smart internal linking between articles using keyword overlap scoring
- Scheduled publishing — articles are spread evenly across time instead of being published in bulk
- Configurable work hours window to control when articles go live
- WP-Cron based automation with customizable intervals
- Keyword include/exclude filtering for RSS items
- Daily and per-run article limits
- Complete admin panel with three pages: Settings, Feeds, and Status
- Full cost tracking — monitor token usage and estimated costs per article
- Activity log with the last 500 entries
- Manual “Run Now” button for on-demand content generation
- Custom model support — use any model ID available on OpenRouter or fal.ai
AI Content Autopilot Pro adds:
- Unlimited RSS feeds
- Multiple authors with random, round-robin, and weighted distribution
- Per-author writing style analysis — AI analyzes published posts and replicates each author’s voice
- Inline AI-generated images within article content at H2 sections
- Facebook auto-sharing with AI-generated text and AI-generated posters
How It Works:
- You add RSS feeds and configure your preferred AI models and publishing settings
- On each scheduled run (or manual trigger), the plugin fetches new items from your feeds
- For each news item, it finds related existing articles for internal linking
- The AI writes a unique, SEO-friendly article with proper HTML structure
- A featured image is generated with AI-written alt text and caption
- The article is published (or saved as draft) with the image and internal links
- Articles are scheduled to appear spread out over time, not all at once

Frequently asked questions
What API keys do I need?
You need an API key from OpenRouter for article writing. Optionally, you need a key from fal.ai for image generation. Both services offer free tiers.
Which AI models are supported?
The plugin ships with presets for Gemini 3 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o Mini, GPT-5 Nano, GPT-5 Mini, and Qwen 3.5 397B. You can also enter any custom model ID available on OpenRouter.
Which image models are supported?
Presets include FLUX 2 Pro, FLUX 2 Klein Realtime, Nano Banana Pro, and Grok Imagine. You can also enter any custom fal.ai model ID.
Are articles published automatically?
You choose: publish immediately, save as draft for review, or set to pending. When set to publish, articles are scheduled with staggered times so they don’t all appear at once.
What happens when I delete a post?
The internal links index is automatically updated. When you trash or delete a post, it is removed from the index so new articles won’t link to it. If you restore a trashed post, it gets re-indexed.
Can I control when articles are published?
Yes. You can set a work hours window (e.g. 08:00-22:00) so the autopilot only runs during those hours. Articles are also spread evenly between runs instead of being published in bulk.
What language are articles written in?
You configure the language in settings. The default is Norwegian (norsk), but you can set any language — English, Swedish, German, Spanish, etc.
Does this plugin work with any theme?
Yes. AI Content Autopilot creates standard WordPress posts with proper HTML, featured images, categories, and excerpts. It works with any theme that supports standard post features.
