Convert any blog post into an X/social thread with one click using Claude AI by Anthropic.

== Description ==

Thread Generator AI adds a "Generate Thread" button directly in your WordPress post editor. With one click it sends your content to the Claude AI API (by Anthropic) and returns a ready-to-post thread of 8–12 tweets — each under 280 characters and numbered.

All features are fully free and functional. This plugin connects to Anthropic's external API to perform AI text generation, which cannot be done locally.
