ClassifAI is a WordPress plugin designed to integrate various AI and Machine Learning services into content creation and management workflows. It targets WordPress users, from content creators to site administrators, aiming to automate tedious tasks, enhance content quality, and improve SEO and audience engagement.

How It Works

ClassAI acts as a bridge, connecting WordPress to multiple third-party AI APIs (OpenAI, Azure AI, Google Gemini, IBM Watson, xAI, AWS Polly) and local LLMs via Ollama. It provides a unified interface within WordPress to leverage these services for tasks like text summarization, title generation, content expansion, image creation, audio transcription, and comment moderation. The plugin supports both cloud-based APIs and local LLM deployments for flexibility and privacy.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Manual installation via composer install && npm install && npm run build or via Composer by configuring installer-paths in composer.json.
• Prerequisites: PHP 7.4+, WordPress 6.6+. API keys/accounts required for cloud services (OpenAI, Azure, Google, IBM, AWS). Ollama and models needed for local LLM usage. ElasticPress 5.0.0+ and Elasticsearch 7.0+ recommended for Smart 404 and Term Cleanup features.
• Setup: Requires registering for a ClassAI account to obtain a key. Configuration involves entering API credentials in WordPress admin under Tools > ClassAI.
• Documentation: ClassAI documentation site
