About this plugin
AI Authors Studio (AAS) helps you create book projects, build outlines, write chapter content, organize front and back matter, and export finished drafts from inside WordPress.
The core workspace runs locally in WordPress. Optional beginner-friendly AI help buttons are included, but they stay off until a site administrator connects the plugin to the OpenAI API in AI Authors Studio (AAS) > AI Config. To use those AI buttons, the administrator must have an OpenAI API account or project with available billing or credits, create a secret API key, save that key in AI Config, and test the connection.
ChatGPT subscriptions and OpenAI API usage are separate products.
This repository build is focused on the included local workspace tools. It does not require license keys or hosted subscription validation.

* The current page context
* Limited project or chapter context needed to answer the request
* Model settings such as model name and max tokens

This plugin does not require a paid AI service for normal workspace operation. The optional AI buttons require separate OpenAI API access.
