Overview

About this plugin

Give your readers a one-click way to summarise your articles in their favourite AI assistant — and help your site get recommended in Google Search. This plugin adds a small, tasteful row of “summarize with AI” buttons to your posts, plus a one-click “Add as Preferred Source” button for Google.

What makes this plugin different: every other AI-summary plugin stops at the buttons. This one also adds Google’s new Preferred Source button. When a reader taps it and selects your site, your content is more likely to show up in Google’s Top Stories, AI Mode and AI Overviews with a “preferred” badge — a real visibility edge you won’t find in other plugins.

Summarize with any AI, in one click

Readers can open your article in ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and Google AI out of the box — plus optional DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen and Meta AI. Each button opens the chosen tool with a pre-filled, fully editable prompt that points to the current article, so the AI summarises your page, with your site credited as the source.

You control the prompt for every tool, so you can ask each AI to summarise, pull key points, or answer specific questions — in any language and tone. Some tools (Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI) don’t accept a prompt in the URL; for those the button copies the prompt to the reader’s clipboard and opens the tool, with a small “paste it in” confirmation. The rest open pre-filled automatically.

Become a Google Preferred Source

Turn on the optional “Add as Preferred Source” button and your readers can make your site a preferred source in Google Search in a single tap. Choose a clean no-script link or Google’s official button, and place it at the top of your articles, the bottom, or both. )

Key Features:

  • Support for 11 AI Tools: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Grok and Google AI enabled out of the box, plus optional DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen and Meta AI. Editable in the backend so you can update endpoints as platforms change.
  • Smart Sharing: URL-prompt tools open pre-filled; clipboard-only tools (like Gemini) copy the prompt and open the tool, with a confirmation toast — so the prompt always reaches the AI.
  • Custom Prompts: Write your own prompts in any language to guide how each AI interprets and summarises your content, using the {url} and {sitename} placeholders.
  • Per-Post-Type Control: Choose exactly which content types show the buttons — Posts, Pages, or any public custom post type.
  • Per-Post Opt-Out: An “AI Summarize Buttons” box in the post editor lets you hide the buttons on any individual post.
  • Flexible Placement & Sizing: Inline (before/after content) or sticky floating (left/right), in three button sizes (Small / Normal / Large), with an option to hide the buttons on mobile.
  • Three Display Modes: Text + Icons (default), Icons only, or Text only.
  • Editable Heading: Set the label shown before the buttons (default “Summarise via AI:”), or leave it blank to hide it.
  • Google Preferred Source (optional): Invite readers to add your site as a preferred source in Google Search — shown in Top Stories, AI Mode and AI Overviews with a “preferred” badge. Choose a simple link (no external scripts) or Google’s official button, and place it before, after, or both around your content.
  • Built-in Icons: Lightweight, brand-distinct inline SVG icons for every tool. Zero extra HTTP requests, scales perfectly on retina displays, fully accessible.
  • Customisation: Use the native WordPress colour picker to match each button to your brand theme.
  • Secure & Sanitised: Fully compliant with WordPress escaping and sanitisation standards.
