Luis Rita AI Blog Writer with Sources

Luis Rita AI Blog Writer with Sources is a draft-first AI blog writer. It creates normal WordPress block content from your brief and selected sources, and never publishes automatically. This plugin is bring-your-own-key only. There is no bundled account, subscription, or upsell.

• Use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or xAI API key and choose a GPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok model.
• Choose a Delegated or Guided workflow, supply up to eight source URLs, and review the outline in Guided mode.
• Get a normal WordPress draft with sources, warnings, metadata suggestions, and provenance.
• Save writer profiles linked to WordPress author accounts.
• Track provider usage with an optional estimated cost ceiling.

Generated content can contain errors, unsupported claims, or bias. Human review is required before publication. No ranking, traffic, accuracy, or legal-safety guarantee is made. External services This plugin sends data to two kinds of external destinations. Both happen only after an administrator configures an API key or a user supplies URLs. Nothing is sent during installation, activation, or idle time. 1. Your selected AI provider Requests go to the provider matching the configured API key:

• OpenAI — https://api.openai.com/v1/models, https://api.openai.com/v1/responses
• Anthropic — https://api.anthropic.com/v1/models, https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages
• Google — https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models, .../v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent
• xAI — https://api.x.ai/v1/models, https://api.x.ai/v1/chat/completions

What is sent, and when:

• Test connection (Settings → Test connection, and automatically once when an administrator submits a new article brief): the API key and a request for the provider's model list. No content is sent.
• Outline stage (after a job reaches the outline stage): the API key, selected model, your brief fields (topic, talking points, audience, search intent, keyword phrases, tone, length, language, market, call to action, include/avoid notes), the selected writer profile, and extracted notes plus titles and URLs of the selected sources.
• Draft stage (after the outline is generated in Delegated mode, or approved in Guided mode): the same brief, writer profile, and source notes, plus the approved outline.
• Propose writer profile (Writer profiles → Propose editable profile): the API key, your prompt text, and any writing sample you paste.
• Rewrite section (block editor sidebar): the API key, the section content, your instruction, and the source notes attached to that section.

Never sent: WordPress credentials, other database contents, visitor data, or payment data. API keys stay server-side and are never exposed to the browser or the REST API. Provider terms and data policies apply to everything sent:

• https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/
• https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
• https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/your-data
• https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms
• https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy
• https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
• https://policies.google.com/privacy
• https://x.ai/legal/terms-of-service
• https://x.ai/legal/privacy-policy

2. Source URLs you supply During research, your server fetches each URL in the brief with a plain HTTP request identified as Luis-Rita-AI-Blog-Writer/<version>; <your site URL>. No brief content, key, or user data is sent. Private addresses are rejected, redirects are limited to three, and responses are capped at 1 MB.

1. Copy the plugin directory into /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it.
2. Open AI Blog Writer → Settings.
3. Choose a provider and model, enter its API key, save, and test the connection.
4. Open New article, review the acknowledgement, and create a draft.

For strongest secret isolation, define this in wp-config.php instead of saving a key: define( 'AIBCG_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'your-key' ); For other providers, use AIBCG_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, AIBCG_GOOGLE_API_KEY, or AIBCG_XAI_API_KEY. Saved keys are encrypted with Sodium using AIBCG_ENCRYPTION_KEY, or AUTH_KEY if undefined. Define a stable AIBCG_ENCRYPTION_KEY so rotating AUTH_KEY does not invalidate saved keys. Generation runs as resumable WP-Cron stages. See the FAQ for sites with low traffic or DISABLE_WP_CRON.
