AI Content Wizard Lite — SEO Content & Planner for OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek & Gemini

AI Content Wizard Lite by BuyReadySite.com is the streamlined version of our advanced AI-driven content creation and SEO optimization suite. It now blends OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini Flash, and curated Google image generation (via the “Nano Banana” Imagen profile) into a single WordPress-native studio. Generate SEO-ready drafts, pull topic inspiration, and keep meta data in sync without leaving wp-admin. Lite focuses on the most-requested workflows while keeping the Pro automations only a click away. Key advantages of the Lite release:

• Generate SEO-optimized articles powered by OpenAI GPT-5-mini or GPT-4 Turbo.
• Keyword de-duplication with smart retries and topic-aware prompts.
• Real-time progress tracking with resumable jobs and timeout diagnostics.
• Contextual tips, cost estimation, and guardrails that mirror the Pro UI refresh.
• Enjoy the polished experience of version 2.5 while upgrading anytime for advanced queues, longreads, and expanded providers.

What’s new in 2.5

• Added multi-provider auto-detection so Lite surfaces the same “Pro glass” UI while still routing text to GPT-5-mini, GPT-4 Turbo, Claude 3 Haiku, and DeepSeek R1 (where available).
• Integrated the Google Imagen 3 pipeline under the playful alias “Nano Banana” for image prompts, complementing GPT-Image-1 and DALL·E 3.
• Refined dashboards, tooltips, and hero stats to better communicate token usage and recent drafts even when advanced columns are absent.
• Hardened keyword generation retries and removed noisy logs to keep Lite deployments clean on shared hosting.
