What it does

AI Content Generator Pro adds a dedicated generation panel to your WordPress admin. You provide a product name, topic, or image — the plugin calls the AI provider you have configured and returns structured, ready-to-use content. No copy-pasting between browser tabs, no external SaaS dashboard, no per-word subscription on top of your license.

All AI requests go directly from your server to Anthropic or OpenAI. Your content never passes through XaniaCode infrastructure.

Generation modes

Product descriptions Enter a product name, optional keywords, tone, and product type (physical or digital). The plugin returns a structured result: full description, short description, product attributes, tags, SEO title, meta description, and a SKU suggestion — all in one request.

Blog articles Enter a topic, keywords, tone, and article type. Output includes the article title, excerpt, full body content, section outline, tags, suggested categories, SEO title, meta description, focus keywords, URL slug, estimated read time, and a CTA suggestion.

Translations Paste any existing content and select a target language. The plugin translates it using the configured AI model. Over 13 languages are supported.

SEO title suggestions Enter a topic and an optional focus keyword. The plugin returns optimized title variants with character-count validation baked in.

Vision AI — image to product listing Upload a product photo (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF, up to 10 MB). The plugin sends it to the vision-capable model of your choice and returns a complete product listing: name, category, full and short descriptions, key features, attributes, tags, SEO title, meta description, estimated price range, condition, target audience, and a SKU suggestion. No text input required.

AI providers and models

The plugin supports two providers simultaneously. You configure one as the default for text generation; Vision AI lets you choose provider per request.

Anthropic Claude

• Claude Sonnet 4.6 (default — recommended balance of speed and quality)
• Claude Opus 4.6 (highest capability)
• Claude Haiku 4.5 (fastest, lowest cost per request)

OpenAI GPT

• GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 Mini, GPT-5.4 Nano
• GPT-4o, GPT-4o Mini
• GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini

You are not locked into one provider. Switch at any time in the plugin settings without reinstalling or losing your configuration.

Security

Encrypted API key storage API keys are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC with HMAC before being written to the WordPress database. If you prefer to keep keys out of the database entirely, define them as PHP constants in wp-config.php — the plugin reads constants first and falls back to the database.

Rate limiting A per-user rolling rate limit applies to all generation endpoints. The default is 30 requests per minute. You can set it between 5 and 120 in the plugin settings. Unlicensed or unauthorized requests do not consume quota.

Vision upload validation Uploaded images are validated against their real MIME type server-side using getimagesizefromstring. Renaming a non-image file to .jpg does not bypass the check. Oversized payloads are rejected before decoding.

No data leaves your server unexpectedly The plugin contacts XaniaCode servers only for license validation and update checks. All generation requests go directly from your WordPress install to Anthropic or OpenAI.

Interface

The admin panel uses three CSS modes — Light, Dark, and Inherit (follows WP admin). Generated output is rendered field by field with individual copy buttons and a global Copy All action. The Vision tab includes a drag-and-drop upload area with live image preview, fully keyboard-accessible. The interface is responsive down to mobile widths.

Changelog highlights — v1.0.1

Guide: How to Get Your API Keys and What It Costs

What an API key is and why you need one

The plugin does not include access to Claude or GPT. It connects to your own Anthropic or OpenAI account using an API key — a unique string that authorizes requests from the plugin and bills them directly to your account. You pay Anthropic or OpenAI directly, based on actual usage. XaniaCode takes no cut of those costs.

Both providers work on a pay-as-you-go model: no mandatory monthly subscription, you pay exactly what you consume, billed by the token.

What a token is

A token is a chunk of text — roughly 3–4 characters or 0.75 words in English. As a practical reference:

• 1,000 tokens ≈ 750 words
• A complete product description (input + output) = ~1,000–1,500 tokens
• A full blog article (input + output) = ~2,000–3,000 tokens

Prices are listed per million tokens (MTok). At the scale of an individual user, the cost per request is in the range of fractions of a cent.

1. Anthropic — API key for Claude

Where to create your account: 👉 https://platform.anthropic.com

Steps:

1. Go to platform.anthropic.com and create an account (email + password or Google sign-in).
2. Verify your email address.
3. In the dashboard, go to Settings → API Keys → Create Key.
4. Copy the generated key (starts with sk-ant-...) — you cannot view it again after closing the dialog.
5. Add a credit card under Billing → Payment methods to enable paid usage.
6. Optionally set a monthly spending limit under Billing → Limits to avoid surprises.
7. Paste the key into the plugin: AI Content Gen → Settings → Anthropic API Key.

Note: Anthropic does not offer a permanent free API tier for production use. Some regions receive a small amount of trial credit on new accounts (~$5 — check at sign-up). Without a card on file, requests will fail once any initial credit is exhausted.

Anthropic pricing — models available in the plugin

All prices are per million tokens (MTok), USD, verified April 2026.

The Anthropic Batch API offers 50% off all models for asynchronous processing (results within 24 hours). Prompt caching reduces cached input token costs by up to 90%. Finout

2. OpenAI — API key for GPT

Where to create your account: 👉 https://platform.openai.com

Steps:

1. Go to platform.openai.com and create an account. If you already have a ChatGPT account you can use the same email — but the platform account (API) is completely separate from a ChatGPT subscription. A ChatGPT Plus subscription does not give you API access.
2. Go to API Keys → Create new secret key.
3. Copy the key (starts with sk-...).
4. Add a credit card under Billing → Payment methods.
5. Optionally set a monthly usage limit under Billing → Limits.
6. Paste the key into the plugin: AI Content Gen → Settings → OpenAI API Key.

Note: A ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/month) and API access are entirely separate billing systems. You can subscribe to ChatGPT Plus and still be billed separately for API usage, or vice versa.

OpenAI pricing — models available in the plugin

GPT-5.4 Mini at $0.75 input is one of the most competitive mid-tier models on the market. GPT-5.4 Nano at $0.20 undercuts nearly every proprietary alternative. CloudZero

Real cost per request — what this means in practice

The estimates below use Sonnet 4.6 and GPT-5.4 Mini as the reference point (the recommended defaults in the plugin). Image tokens for Vision AI are additional and depend on image resolution.

Estimated monthly cost — typical scenarios

For an individual user or small shop, monthly API costs will stay well under $5 in the vast majority of cases. Costs scale linearly — double the volume, double the bill.

Tips for keeping costs under control

Match the model to the task. You do not need Opus 4.6 or GPT-5.4 for translations or SEO titles. Haiku 4.5 or GPT-5.4 Nano handle those at a fraction of the cost.

Set spending limits. Both providers let you set a monthly hard cap in the billing dashboard. If you reach the limit, requests are blocked automatically — no surprises on your invoice.

Monitor usage in real time. Anthropic: plarform.anthropic.com/usage. OpenAI: platform.openai.com/usage. Both dashboards show consumption per model and per day.

Never expose your key. You enter the API key once in the plugin settings. The plugin encrypts it before storing it in the WordPress database. Do not publish it in code, do not send it by email, do not paste it in a support ticket.

You only need one provider to start. The plugin works with either Anthropic or OpenAI independently. You do not need both. Add a second provider later if you want to compare output quality or cost.
