SmartCloud AI-Kit – On-Device AI Tools

Description

AI-Kit brings practical AI helpers to WordPress while keeping privacy first.

AI-Kit is part of the WP Suite product family by Smart Cloud Solutions, Inc. WP Suite keeps WordPress as the CMS and editing layer, while optional connected features can extend selected workflows into modular AWS-backed services for identity, AI, APIs, workflows, protected routes, and static delivery. The free AI-Kit features described here do not require a WP Suite account, subscription, or AWS backend unless you explicitly configure an external service or upgrade-only backend feature.

Free (local-only) mode
AI-Kit uses Chrome’s built-in on-device AI capabilities (when available). In this mode, content is processed locally in the browser.

Key features
* 22-language frontend localization — Frontend controls include 22 built-in languages, follow the active WordPress or multilingual-provider locale, and support RTL where applicable.
* Shared WP Suite translation catalog — Override matching strings once for Gatey, AI-Kit, and Flow, set a site-wide fallback locale, or add further locales from SmartCloud → Global Settings → Custom Translations without editing plugin files.
* Media Library: SEO image metadata generation
* Works in the Media Library list view and grid view
* Supports both the attachment details panel and the attachment edit screen
* Includes bulk workflows (preview and accept/save items one-by-one)
* Gutenberg: AI-Kit Sidebar
* Post metadata generation
* Text generation (topic + instructions + tone + length + language)
* Gutenberg: Inline tools (toolbar group)
* Proofread, rewrite, and translate selected/editable text blocks
* Gutenberg: SEO Metadata panel for image-like blocks
* Adds a dedicated panel for core/image, core/cover and core/media-text, to generate SEO metadata for images
* PRO: AI-Kit Chatbot

* Customize chat UI labels (e.g., title and placeholder), language and text direction (LTR/RTL/auto)
* Customize the open button (position, label, optional base64 icon)
* Use Preview to instantly try your current settings without saving
* PRO: Knowledge Base automation
* Enroll WordPress with a short-lived pairing code and signed, site-specific transport
* Synchronize selected public post types and taxonomies through a durable, resumable outbox
* Merge manual policy, fixed external vocabularies, and WordPress-derived vocabulary without one producer erasing another
* Inspect the effective metadata configuration, provenance, baseline, queue, and last runner result in WP Admin
* PRO: AI-Kit Feature block

* PRO: [smartcloud-ai-kit-feature] shortcode
* Use the same “AI-Kit Feature” functionality in other editors/builders via a shortcode
* Developer API
* AI-Kit exposes a small JS surface under globalThis.WpSuite.plugins.aiKit.features so developers can integrate AI-Kit features in their own plugins and custom code.

Free and Premium Usage Notice

AI-Kit works in Free mode without registration or subscription, using local-only (on-device) AI inside supported desktop Chrome browsers.

Pro features are optional and become available after connecting your WordPress site to a WP Suite workspace:
* AI-Kit Chatbot (on-site widget + customizable settings + Preview)
* Front-end AI-Kit Feature Gutenberg block
* Front-end smartcloud- shortcode
* Optional backend-only / backend-fallback modes (when on-device AI is unavailable or when you explicitly choose backend processing)

When backend is used, requests go to an API endpoint you configure — typically an AWS API deployed into your own AWS account using the “wpsuite-ai-kit” SAR template.

External Services

This plugin may integrate with the following external services, depending on configuration:

1. Google reCAPTCHA v3

   • What it is & what it’s used for:
     Client-side bot detection. If enabled, AI-Kit can request reCAPTCHA tokens in the browser to protect certain interactions.
   • What data is sent & when:
     The browser may contact Google to retrieve a reCAPTCHA token (client-side).
   • Configuration in WordPress:
     Enter your reCAPTCHA site key in AI-Kit → Settings (or the relevant WP Suite settings screen, depending on your setup).
   • Links:
     • About reCAPTCHA: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/
     • Google Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms
     • Google Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

2. Customer-configured AI backend endpoint (Pro only)

   • What it is & what it’s used for:
     An API endpoint you configure for backend-only or backend fallback processing when on-device AI is unavailable or when you choose to run on the backend.
   • What data is sent & when:
     Text and/or image-related inputs required to fulfill the specific feature request (e.g., rewrite input, summarization text, metadata prompts).
   • Where it goes:
     Requests are sent to the API URL you provide — typically an AWS API deployed to your own AWS account (e.g., via the “wpsuite-ai-kit” SAR template).
   • How it’s called:
     Standard HTTPS requests (fetch) from the browser.

3. WP Suite platform connection (optional; site/workspace linking & shared features)

   • When it applies:
     When you use WP Admin → SmartCloud → Connect your Site to WP Suite to link this WordPress site to a WP Suite workspace, or to switch/disconnect later.
   • What it’s used for:
     Storing and retrieving Pro feature configuration (e.g., API/chatbot/feature settings) and enabling an admin-side preview experience so you can try Pro features in WP Admin before enabling them on the live site.
   • What data may be sent:
     Minimal account/session data required for authentication, and minimal site/workspace linking data required to associate a WordPress site with a workspace (e.g., site/workspace identifiers and the site’s URL/domain).
   • Where it goes / how it’s called:
     Secure HTTPS requests from the browser to WPSuite.io services (e.g. wpsuite.io and api.wpsuite.io).
   • Links:
     • WPSuite.io Privacy Policy: https://wpsuite.io/privacy-policy
     • WPSuite.io Terms of Use: https://wpsuite.io/terms-of-use

4. Amazon Cognito (optional; authentication for WP Suite Hub and/or protected APIs)

   • When it applies:
     • When using the WP Suite Hub, users authenticate (sign in / sign up) before creating/selecting a workspace and linking a site.
     • If a plugin is configured to access protected endpoints that rely on Cognito, authentication/token flows may also be used for those requests.
   • What it’s used for:
     User authentication and token-based authorization for subsequent API calls (e.g., to WPSuite.io APIs).
   • Links:
     • AWS Service Terms: https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/
     • AWS Privacy: https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/

5. Stripe (optional; subscription/purchase flow)

   • When it applies: Only when the user opens the optional WP Suite subscription / purchase flow in the shared admin component.
   • What it’s used for: Displaying hosted pricing/subscription UI for optional paid features.
   • What data may be sent: Browser/session data required by Stripe to render the hosted purchase UI and process the purchase flow.
