What is SmartAi AutoPost?

SmartAi AutoPost is an AI-powered WordPress plugin that automatically fetches content from 20+ sources (RSS, YouTube, Amazon, Reddit, Google News, etc.), rewrites it using GPT-4 or Claude AI into 100% unique articles, optimizes them for SEO, generates featured images, and publishes them to your WordPress site — all on complete autopilot, 24/7.

Is SmartAi AutoPost similar to WP Auto Pro?

Yes, SmartAi AutoPost works similarly to WP Auto Pro but with significantly more powerful AI capabilities. We use the latest GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet for rewriting (vs older AI models), include DALL-E 3 image generation, a cleaner dashboard, and support for more content sources including Telegram, Podcasts, and Custom APIs.

Who is SmartAi AutoPost for?

SmartAi AutoPost is perfect for:

  • News portal operators who need continuous content flow
  • Affiliate marketers building content-heavy product review sites
  • Digital agencies managing multiple client WordPress sites
  • Bloggers who want passive traffic without constant writing
  • E-commerce store owners using WooCommerce for product imports
Do I need any technical skills to use it?

No technical skills required at all. If you can install a standard WordPress plugin and fill in a settings form, you can run SmartAi AutoPost fully. The setup wizard guides you through each step in plain English. Most users are up and running in under 5 minutes.

How many posts can it publish per day?

The Starter plan supports up to 50 posts/day. Professional and Agency plans have unlimited posts/day. The actual speed depends on your WordPress server speed and your OpenAI/Anthropic API rate limits — most users on Pro/Agency publish 100–500+ posts per day without issues.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! We offer a 7-day free trial on the Professional plan with full access to all features. No credit card required to start. You can also use the Starter plan free for the first 14 days before needing to upgrade.

Can I use it for multiple languages?

Yes. SmartAi AutoPost supports auto-translation via DeepL and Google Translate (100+ languages). You can import content in English and have it published in any language, or import and rewrite in the same language. This works with WPML and Polylang for multilingual WordPress sites.

What WordPress version is required?

SmartAi AutoPost requires WordPress 5.0 or higher and PHP 7.4+. It works with all major hosting providers including WPEngine, SiteGround, Cloudways, HostGator, and more. There are no special server configurations needed.

Installation & Setup
6 Questions
How do I install SmartAi AutoPost?

Installation takes under 2 minutes:

  • Download the plugin ZIP file from your account dashboard
  • Go to WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  • Upload the ZIP file and click "Install Now"
  • Click "Activate Plugin"
  • Follow the on-screen setup wizard to connect your first source
Do I need to buy a separate OpenAI API key?

Yes. You'll need your own OpenAI API key (for GPT-4) or Anthropic API key (for Claude) for AI rewriting. This puts the AI costs directly under your control. Most users spend $2–10/month on API calls depending on post volume. You can get a free OpenAI API key at platform.openai.com.

Can I use it on a new WordPress site with no existing content?

Absolutely. SmartAi AutoPost works perfectly on brand new WordPress installations. In fact, most users start a fresh WordPress site specifically to use SmartAi AutoPost as the content engine. Within the first 24 hours of setup, you can have hundreds of AI-written, SEO-optimized posts published.

Does it work with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders?

Yes. SmartAi AutoPost publishes standard WordPress posts (not custom page builder pages). This means it works perfectly with any theme or page builder — the posts will use your theme's default post template. If you want a custom post layout, you can assign a template in your page builder's theme settings.

Can I import my existing WP Auto Pro settings?

We have a migration tool in the plugin settings that can import your RSS sources and basic configurations from WP Auto Pro and similar plugins. Complex custom settings may need to be reconfigured manually, but our support team can assist with migrations.

What happens after I activate? Is there an onboarding process?

Yes! After activation, you'll see an interactive setup wizard that walks you through: (1) connecting your first content source, (2) entering your AI API key, (3) setting your posting schedule, and (4) running a test post. The wizard takes about 3 minutes to complete.

AI & Content Quality
7 Questions
Which AI models does SmartAi AutoPost support?

SmartAi AutoPost supports the following AI models:

  • OpenAI: GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-3.5 Turbo
  • Anthropic: Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Haiku
  • Google: Gemini Pro (via API)

You can select different models for different purposes — e.g., use GPT-4o for main rewrites and Claude Haiku for shorter descriptions to save costs.

How unique is the AI-generated content?

Very unique. SmartAi AutoPost uses a "full rewrite" mode by default, where the AI doesn't just paraphrase — it reads the source content and writes a completely new article on the same topic from scratch. Copyscape tests consistently show 95–100% uniqueness. You can also enable our built-in similarity checker to auto-skip content that's too similar to existing posts.

Can I customize how the AI writes content?

Yes, extensively. You can write custom AI prompts for every source, set the tone (professional, casual, technical, friendly), target word count, content structure, which sections to include (intro, FAQ, conclusion, etc.), and even provide style examples. Advanced users can build very specific prompt templates per source type.

Will the AI add false information or hallucinate?

AI models can occasionally add inaccurate details when generating content from scratch. SmartAi AutoPost mitigates this by using a "grounded rewrite" mode — the AI is instructed to only use information from the original source article and not add unverified claims. For sensitive niches (medical, legal, financial), we recommend enabling human review mode where posts are saved as drafts before publishing.

Can it generate featured images automatically?

Yes! SmartAi AutoPost includes DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion image generation. For each post, it auto-generates a unique featured image based on the article title and topic. You can also import images from the source article, use Unsplash/Pexels stock images, or generate AI art with custom style presets (photorealistic, illustration, flat design, etc.).

How much does the AI API usage cost?

API costs vary by model and usage. On average: GPT-4o costs about $0.005–0.015 per rewritten article. For 100 posts/day, that's approximately $0.50–1.50/day or $15–45/month in API costs. Using Claude Haiku or GPT-3.5 Turbo reduces this by 80–90%. Most users find the total API cost to be $5–30/month.

Can it translate content into other languages?

Yes. You can configure SmartAi AutoPost to automatically translate all content using DeepL (highest quality, recommended) or Google Translate (100+ languages). This works for both the main content and meta descriptions. For multilingual sites using WPML, it can publish translated versions to the correct language trees automatically.

SEO & Google Safety
5 Questions
Is auto-published AI content safe for Google rankings?

Yes — when done correctly. Google's Helpful Content guidelines focus on whether content is useful, original, and written for humans. SmartAi AutoPost's full-rewrite mode creates unique, readable articles that add context and value beyond the source. Thousands of our users rank well on Google. The key is using good AI rewriting (full rewrite, not just paraphrase) and focusing on a specific niche.

Will Google penalize my site for using auto-generated content?

Google penalizes low-quality, repetitive, or spammy content — not AI-generated content per se. Our AI produces well-structured, unique articles with proper headings, internal links, and schema markup. We recommend publishing at a natural frequency (not 500 posts/day on a brand new site) and focusing on your specific niche for topical authority.

Does it auto-optimize meta tags for SEO?

Yes. Every post auto-generates: SEO title (with focus keyword), meta description (under 160 chars), focus keyword (set in Yoast/RankMath), Open Graph tags for social sharing, NewsArticle or Article schema markup, and canonical URLs. It integrates directly with Yoast SEO, RankMath, and All in One SEO plugins.

Does it handle internal linking?

Yes. SmartAi AutoPost has an auto-internal-linking feature that scans your existing posts and automatically inserts relevant internal links into new content. This significantly improves SEO link equity distribution and helps Google crawl your site more effectively.

Is it compatible with Yoast SEO and RankMath?

Yes, fully compatible with both. SmartAi AutoPost writes directly to Yoast SEO and RankMath meta fields — including focus keyword, SEO title, meta description, and advanced settings. Your SEO plugin score will show as "Good" on most auto-generated posts without any manual intervention.

Do you offer refunds?

Does the plugin price include OpenAI API costs?

No. The SmartAi AutoPost plugin license is separate from your AI API costs. You use your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, so AI costs go directly to OpenAI/Anthropic at their standard rates. This keeps costs transparent and gives you full control over AI usage.

Technical Questions
5 Questions
What are the server requirements?

Minimum requirements:

  • WordPress 5.0 or higher
  • PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.0+ recommended)
  • MySQL 5.6+ or MariaDB 10.0+
  • At least 256MB PHP memory limit
  • Outbound HTTP requests enabled (most hosts allow this by default)
  • WP-Cron enabled or server cron configured
Will it slow down my WordPress site?

No. SmartAi AutoPost runs all background processing via WordPress cron (scheduled tasks) and processes content asynchronously. It has no impact on your website's front-end loading speed. The plugin itself adds less than 5ms to admin page load times.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes, fully compatible. SmartAi AutoPost can import Amazon and other product listings directly as WooCommerce products — with product images, descriptions, prices, categories, and affiliate links all auto-populated. It's ideal for building affiliate product review sites and dropshipping stores.

Is there an activity log / error reporting?

Yes. The SmartAi AutoPost dashboard includes a detailed activity log showing every fetch, rewrite, and publish action with timestamps. Any errors (API failures, source timeouts, etc.) are highlighted with explanations. You can also configure email alerts for specific error types.

How does duplicate detection work?

SmartAi AutoPost has a built-in similarity detection engine that checks each new article against your existing posts before publishing. You can set a similarity threshold (e.g., skip if 70%+ similar). It also cross-checks across all sources to prevent the same story from multiple RSS feeds being published twice.
