About CooWriter AI
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
CooWriter AI is an AI-powered writing assistant and content generator that lives inside the WordPress Block Editor. Simply tell it what you want to write. Generate complete blog posts from a single prompt, create AI images, translate content into any language, and refine your writing through conversation. No copy-pasting, no tab-switching — just write and publish.
Demo
Everything You Need to Publish Faster
Every feature eliminates busywork so you can focus on hitting publish.
- One Prompt. One Complete Post. Done.: Give CooWriter a single prompt and get a fully structured, ready-to-publish blog post in minutes. While others are still outlining, you’ll already be hitting publish.
- Make It Sound Exactly Like You: Generic AI sounds like a robot. CooWriter lets you refine through conversation until every sentence matches your voice. Say “make it punchier” and watch it transform.
- Fix One Paragraph Without Rewriting Everything: Weak intro? Boring conclusion? Select it, regenerate it, done. The rest of your post stays exactly as you wrote it. No more starting over because one section needs work.
- Ditch Stock Photos Forever: Stop scrolling through thousands of generic images that almost fit. Generate custom visuals that perfectly match your content in seconds — no design skills needed.
- Reach Global Audiences Without Extra Work: Translate your content into any language with one click — and keep all your Gutenberg formatting perfectly intact. Go multilingual without the headache.
- Zero Copy-Pasting. Zero Tab-Switching.: CooWriter lives inside your Gutenberg editor. Content generates with proper headings, lists, and formatting — ready to publish the moment it appears. No more wrestling with ChatGPT and clipboard.
