Overview

About this plugin

Sharebox AI adds AI platform buttons to your WordPress posts and pages, encouraging visitors to ask AI about your content — with your URL included in the prompt. Search engines crawl. AI agents cite.

Make sure your content gets credited when AI answers questions about your topic.

Your readers are already using AI to explore your content. Make sure you’re getting credit for it.

The Web Is Becoming Agentic

AI agents retrieve, summarize, and cite sources on behalf of users. The sites that get cited become the training ground for the next generation of answers. The sites that don’t become invisible.

Sharebox AI provides one-click access to major AI platforms, turning reader behavior into your distribution channel. From install to attribution in under five minutes.

Third-Party Services

Important: This plugin creates buttons that link to external AI platforms. When visitors click these buttons, they are redirected to third-party websites with a prompt that includes your page URL, page title, and site name. This data is transmitted via URL parameters or clipboard (depending on platform support).

The plugin itself makes no server-side API calls and collects no user data. However, once visitors click a button and navigate to an AI platform, that platform’s terms of service and privacy policy apply.
