Flow Writer is a powerful, AI-driven automation tool for WordPress designed to streamline your content strategy. By leveraging the native WordPress Connectors API (WP 7.0+), it allows you to generate high-quality, SEO-optimized blog posts automatically based on your site's specific categories and context.

Whether you're looking to maintain a consistent posting schedule or need a jumpstart on new articles, Flow Writer handles the heavy lifting, ensuring your site remains active and relevant.

✨ Key Features

  • 🌐 Site-Wide Context: Define a global AI personality and site-wide instructions (e.g., "You are an expert tech reviewer") to ensure all generated content maintains a consistent brand voice.
  • 📁 Category-Based Intelligence: Provide unique context for each category. The AI uses these specific instructions to tailor content to the niche of the category.
  • 🔗 Smart Internal Linking: The plugin automatically scans recent posts within the same category and instructs the AI to reference and link to them, boosting SEO and improving user navigation.
  • ⏰ Advanced Scheduling & Frequency: Configure exactly when and how often you want new content to appear. Choose from Daily, Every Other Day, or Weekly frequencies with multiple specific time-of-day slots.
  • 📏 Flexible Post Lengths: Choose between Short, Regular or Long to suit your content needs.
  • 🧩 Gutenberg-Ready: Content is generated natively in WordPress block markup, ensuring it looks perfect and is fully editable the moment it's created.
  • 🔄 Topic Deduplication: The AI is aware of your most recent posts per category, preventing it from repeating topics and ensuring fresh angles every time.
  • ⚡ Manual & Auto Generation: Generate posts on-demand from the category edit screen or let the automated cron engine handle it on your schedule.
