Overview

About this plugin

zimpliScribe brings AI-assisted writing directly into the WordPress editor — proofread existing copy, translate to your target language, expand or shorten passages, or generate drafts from a prompt. Works in the Gutenberg sidebar, on a dedicated admin page, and as a Quick Capture widget for jotting ideas straight from your dashboard or your phone.

No AI provider keys in WordPress. de API service, which holds the provider credentials server-side. You register your site once via a domain-ownership challenge (the same pattern Let’s Encrypt uses — no API keys to copy around), and you’re done.

Per-credit billing. Each request costs one credit. New sites get 25 welcome credits (these never expire) plus 5 free credits every month.

Top up via the billing portal — no charges happen without your explicit action.

Features

  • Content Tool — text + intent prompt + suggestion chips (Proofread, Translate, Make shorter / longer). Combine chips as you go.
  • Quick Capture — a simplified, voice-friendly box (Memo · Proofread · Translate, then Save Draft) as a Dashboard widget and the default view on mobile. Record quick drafts from anywhere, hands-free with your keyboard’s dictation.
  • Image input — attach any image from the WordPress media library, or upload directly (mobile camera supported via OS picker). Sent alongside your text.
  • Insert image — adds attached images to the result as Markdown links; resolves to real <img> tags when saved.
  • Maximize mode — give the result panel the full width when you’re reviewing long output.
  • Save as Draft — create a WordPress post or page directly from the result.
  • Gutenberg sidebar — work on selected blocks: Send to AI, Replace Block, Insert After.
  • Per-site credits widget — current balance and renewal date in the admin header.

How it works

  • Install and activate the plugin.
  • Visit WP admin → zimpliScribe → Register Site. The plugin generates a one-time challenge token.
  • The API verifies the token by calling back to your site’s public REST endpoint — same approach as Let’s Encrypt’s HTTP-01 challenge.
  • Your site goes active with 25 welcome credits plus 5 free every month.
  • Use the Content Tool tab or the Gutenberg sidebar.

No API keys are stored in WordPress at any point. The plugin holds an opaque site_id that the API validates per-request against the registered domain via the browser’s Origin header.
