Rooster One vs Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries

One plugin instead of dozens. 554 tools, and they agree with each other. Rooster One does the work that would otherwise take dozens of separate plugins, and it does it from one place, on one set of numbers. Dozens of plugins means dozens of different vendors, dozens of renewal dates to keep track of, dozens of update cycles that have to keep working alongside each other, and a different support desk to write to depending on which part has gone wrong. One plugin means one licence, one update, one place to ask, and one thing for WordPress to load on every request instead of dozens. What is actually in it: a full SEO engine that replaces Yoast or AIOSEO. Product recommendations built from your real sales. Role, wholesale and tiered pricing. Meta, Google Ads, GA4 and TikTok measurement, sent server-side so an ad blocker cannot silence it. Sixteen couriers with vouchers, labels, tracking and daily closings. Marketplace feeds and order import for Skroutz, Shopflix, eMAG, Etsy, Amazon and more. Side cart, wishlist, back-in-stock waitlist, quote requests for catalogue shops, swatches, trust badges. Popups and scheduled announcements. Abandoned-cart recovery, email and web push campaigns, audiences. Surveys, competitions and events. Invoices, packing slips and credit notes. A GDPR consent banner with a cookie scanner. The EU withdrawal button that Directive 2023/2673 now requires. And an AI assistant that answers from your own catalogue rather than making things up. That is 188 pages and the 554 tools inside them, and there is a written description of what every one of them is for. Why one plugin rather than dozens Because separate plugins cannot see what the others know, so they disagree, and each one works the same thing out again while your customer waits. Rooster One measures your whole business on a schedule instead: every product, page, customer, order and session, written into flat tables. Which products sell and which never do, which pages are read, who bought and who nearly did. The SEO engine, the recommendations, the audiences, the ad ROI report and the AI assistant then all read those same tables. That is why they agree, and why the plugin gets faster to use as you switch more of it on: the heavy work already happened, before the request arrived. The trade-off is timing and we would rather say so plainly. A figure is only as new as its last run. And it is one plugin to load, not dozens This part has nothing to do with how well any plugin is written. WordPress loads every active plugin on every request, before it knows whether that request needs it: a file to read from disk, hooks to register, options to fetch, a translation catalogue to load. That toll is paid on the home page, on every admin screen and on every REST call, by every plugin, including the ones that will do nothing at all on that particular request. A site carrying a hundred of them pays it a hundred times before a single line of useful work happens. Rooster One is one plugin, and the parts you have not switched on register nothing. On Pro, the storefront is served by a separate lightweight runtime rather than the admin half, so your customer’s page load carries the code that draws the page and not the code that runs the shop. Everything is off by default. It installs beside your current SEO plugin, pixel manager and consent tool and changes nothing until you switch a piece on. Rooster One runs on your own server. Everything it ever sends to an outside service, and what triggers it, is listed under “What does Rooster One send to an outside service, and when?” in the FAQ below. The free version is a complete product, not a demo: 754 of the 1,268 screens, tools and actions are in it. Pro adds the operational half and the separate front-end runtime plugin. Who builds it Rooster One is built by Oxford Metadata Ltd, whose organisation is approved under Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program for dual-use security work such as penetration testing and vulnerability research. That is the same discipline the plugin’s own defensive features come out of: the bot filtering, the form captcha, the consent and proof-of-consent log, and the login hardening. The AI features run on Anthropic Claude for chat and reasoning and Voyage AI for embeddings. It reads your site for what it is Shop — sales and add-to-carts are the measure. Catalogue — products published but not sold; engagement is the measure. Content — no WooCommerce; visits, engagement and forms are the measure. Auto-detected, overridable in one click. Scoring, cornerstones and applicable signals all follow from it. You can find all of it Ctrl+K reaches 742 places: 188 pages and the 554 tools inside them, each one openable directly. All Features lists every one, with pinnable favourites, and prints the figure for your own install. Every page carries a written description of what you can do there, and that text feeds the search. What gets measured Computed on a schedule, stored flat. Everything below reads these. Product vitals — velocity, out-of-stock history, price history, basket role, returns, and a 0–100 demand score. Content vitals — reach, engagement, freshness and a content-demand score for every post, page and custom type. Customer vitals — an omnichannel profile: purchases, affinities, lifecycle stage, survey answers, return risk. Session and attribution rollups — engagement joined to conversion on one session id, with landing page, campaign and five UTMs. Effective prices — every price rule resolved ahead of time into one row per product per audience. The features AI chat & semantic search Chat widget on Anthropic Claude, grounded in your catalogue — only real, in-stock items with exact links. Semantic search on Voyage AI embeddings across products, posts, pages and terms. A knowledge base you control, with identity guardrails so it cannot mis-describe you. Chat analytics — what was asked, how it was rated, which questions found nothing, which chats ended in an order. Related content on articles, guides, listings and products, from the same index. Added automatically to the content types you choose, or placed by hand with the AIEO Related content block or the [aieo_semantic_related] shortcode; either can be narrowed to one kind of content, so a listing recommends listings rather than products. SEO engine A drop-in replacement for AIOSEO, Yoast or Rank Math. Stays gated behind your current SEO plugin until you switch over; a read-only importer for all three and a head-parity check are included. Head, canonical, robots, Open Graph, Twitter and JSON-LD, assembled once into a cache. Commerce schema from the same tables — ProductGroup + hasVariant, per-variant colour, gtin, brand, shipping and return policy. AI titles and descriptions written against the live SERP. Drafts await approval, or run on Autopilot. Opportunity grid — traffic × conversion: hidden gem, intent mismatch, defend, prune. Rank tracking (optional DataForSEO, under your spend cap). Redirects and 404s, slug monitor, static sitemap, robots.txt, alt-text filling, EU Omnibus history, hreflang, Local SEO. Selling more Recommendations — up-sell, cross-sell and same-need alternatives from your real sales patterns. Rails you order by drag-and-drop, block and classic themes, with custom slots. Pricing engine — role and wholesale prices, brand discounts, loyalty tiers, points, free gifts. Stacked, resolved ahead of time. Merchandising — swatches, labels, trust badges, payment logos, galleries, layout builder, custom tabs, one master button style. Lift measurement — the incremental orders and revenue the engine adds. Cart, checkout, recovery Side cart, sticky add-to-cart, wishlist, back-in-stock waitlist. Quote requests for catalogue shops — an ask-for-a-price card on products you do not sell online, a quote basket the shopper grows as they browse, and the browsing trail behind each request. Booked as valued leads per campaign, so a catalogue stops scoring EUR 0.00. Saved and abandoned carts — share and resume, cookieless restore that survives CDN caching. Checkout tuning — distraction-free checkout with A/B assignment, minimum order, and business-invoice fields. Full block and classic parity. Reaching customers Audiences — top, lapsed, lookalike, abandoned-cart, reactivation, competition entrants. Recomputed nightly. Automated campaigns — abandoned cart, win-back, birthday, back in stock, post-purchase. Email and web push, quiet hours honoured. Social posts from your catalogue, competitions on any Gravity Form, surveys scored into NPS and voice-of-customer. Knowing what worked Server-side measurement you own — Meta CAPI, GA4, Google Ads Enhanced Conversions, TikTok Events API. Deduplicated, sent after the order is saved, with a daily safety net. Consent / GDPR CMP — first-party banner, Consent Mode v2, proof-of-consent log, cookie scanner. ROI Wizard — orders, revenue, cost, net, ROAS and ROI by engine, offer, channel, campaign or creative. Ad spend typed, by CSV, or nightly from Google Ads / Meta / TikTok. Conversion goals for non-shops. Insights Chat — ask your shop questions in wp-admin. Customers pseudonymised, no data export. Running the shop Marketplace order import — Skroutz, Shopflix, eMAG, eFood, Wolt, Etsy, Amazon → native WooCommerce orders. The catalogue importer runs it in reverse. Streaming feeds — ready-made templates for Amazon Inventory Loader, BestPrice, eBay File Exchange, eFood, EMAG, Etsy, Facebook Product Catalog, Facebook Marketplace, Google Shopping, Google Local, Google AdWords Custom Remarketing, Shopflix, Skroutz, Tolstoy and Wolt, plus Generic CSV and a fully custom builder. Sixteen couriers — vouchers, labels, COD, tracking, bulk printing, daily closings. ACS, BOX NOW, Courier Center, ELTA, Geniki Taxydromiki, Speedex, DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, USPS, Royal Mail, DHL Paket, Colissimo, BRT, Correos Express, Sendcloud — plus a manual carrier for one with no API. Order documents — invoices, packing slips, proformas, credit notes. Singly or merged across a date range. Delivery economics — real break-even free shipping from your carrier costs, per-carrier × zone P&L. Operational intelligence — stock recovery, missing hot sellers, out-of-stock predictor, branch stock, barcode scanning, optional ERP. The withdrawal button — Directive (EU) 2023/2673 Every EU distance seller must now give consumers a prominent, permanently available button to declare withdrawal electronically. No transition period. A real button, for the whole statutory period. 14 calendar days from receipt — computed from delivery, not the order date. Guests included. An account is offered afterwards, never required. No reason, no prior contact, partial withdrawal by item and quantity. Acknowledgement on a durable medium with content, date and time. Cancellation stays distinct from withdrawal — one you may refuse, the other you may not. Return vouchers checked by an operator before the customer sees them. Ships disabled. Content, blocks and regional selling Events with RSVP and self-registration, FAQ accordions, Store Pages, Food & Beverages option groups, Google reviews, Media Cleanup that quarantines before it deletes. Dozens of server-rendered blocks — store, product, recommendation, swatch, brand, category, blog, competition and event, plus Custom Slot regions. Regional checkout — COD by country or courier, “from X,XX €” labels before a postcode is entered, and per-country payment and shipping rules. Speed and resilience Pre-computed into flat tables; the storefront reads single cached rows. A thin front-end runtime plugin (Pro) serves the storefront even when the admin plugin is trimmed from the request. Self-healing jobs re-arm after updates, stay dormant until used, and collapse runaway third-party tasks. Tables are never dropped on update, activation or deactivation — only on explicit uninstall. Free and Pro GPLv3. The free version is a complete, working product — not a demo with the useful parts removed. GPLv3 throughout. There are three separate things here, and it is worth being precise about which is which, because two of them are called “Pro”. 1. This plugin, free. A complete, working product, not a demo with the useful parts removed: AI chat and semantic search, the whole SEO engine, pricing and merchandising, storefront features, measurement and consent, product feeds and marketplace feed export, courier fulfilment across all sixteen carriers, the block library, Ctrl+K — and the complete withdrawal button. That last is a legal obligation for every EU distance seller; charging for it would be a poor thing to do. 2. A Pro subscription (or the 14-day trial), activated by connecting the site to your Rooster One account. No per-feature keys. It unlocks the Pro screens whose code is already inside this download: Marketplace order import — Skroutz, Shopflix, eMAG, eFood, Wolt, Etsy, Amazon. Attribution and ROI — dashboard, ROI Wizard, ad-spend connectors, shipping cost against margin. Audiences and campaigns — audience builder, email and web-push flows, social posts, AI-suggested offers. Customer intelligence — customer lookup, surveys, cancellations and returns analysis, chat analytics. Insights Chat, events and competitions, Action Scheduler cleanup. 3. Two companion plugins, included with a Pro subscription and installed separately. A subscription on its own does not put their code on your server, so these screens ask you to install the plugin rather than pretending to work: Rooster One Runtime — serves the storefront, SEO head, sitemap and redirects without loading the admin half. The biggest single speed difference between free and Pro. Rooster One Pro — carries six engines this download does not contain: supplier invoice scanning, the accounting and ERP connectors (Entersoft, Galaxy, Soft1, Zoho Books, and Oxygen supplier sync), the catalogue importer for building a product source from a supplier feed, the product exchanger for sharing content between WP sites, the duplicate-product merge engine that auto detects simple products and converts them to variations, and semantic internal linking. Everything Pro-locked stays visible with an explanation of what it does, and where a screen also needs the Pro plugin it says so before you buy, not after. Optional integrations Rooster One runs entirely on your own server. Nothing below is required for the plugin to work — each is an opt-in add-on you enable only if you want that capability, using your own account. Rooster AI credits (rooster.systems) — powers the AI chat, AI SEO copy and Insights Chat via Anthropic Claude and Voyage AI embeddings, with no per-provider API keys to manage. Recommendations service (eshop-optimizer.com) — graph-database up-sell/cross-sell analysis of your order history. DataForSEO — optional keyword rank tracking under a spend cap you set. Ad and measurement platforms — Google Ads, GA4, Meta and TikTok, each independently selectable. Couriers and marketplaces — your own carrier and marketplace accounts, for vouchers and order import. Google Places / Search Console for location data and search performance.

Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries turns every post into an AI-aware destination. It generates an inline AI summary readers can expand next to the share buttons, and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants. Among the first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API: configure your AI provider once in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra accounts. Inline AI Summary Two-tier cascade: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 6.1+ install. Choose your AI model and mode: pick the provider and model used to generate summaries, or leave it on Automatic to use a fast, cost-effective model instead of the newest, most expensive one. Set how generation behaves too: AI with extractive fallback, AI only, extractive only, or disabled. Paragraph or bullet-list format: show the summary as prose (one paragraph per sentence) or as a concise bullet list, with configurable length (1-5 sentences or points). Collapsible inline block with native , data-nosnippet and Schema.org CreativeWork microdata so search engines treat it as derived content, not competition. Editor controls in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit manually, regenerate on demand, hide per post (independently from the buttons). Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client. Async generation via WP-Cron. [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode also available. Sharing Social networks: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email, Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest. AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking back to your URL. 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation, drag-and-drop ordering. SEO-friendly ( or , auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins). Analytics Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown, period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV export. Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. VigIA cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible. Why use it? Cite your source naturally: when readers expand the summary or share to an AI assistant, your URL travels with the content. Reach every audience: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place. Future-proof: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients. External services This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when the inline AI Summary feature is enabled and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available). All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external service. AI Summary generation When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks “Regenerate” or “Generate AI summary”), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()) to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally by WordPress core. What is sent: Post title (plain text) Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text) A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary What is not sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses, user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers. Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates): OpenAI — Terms of use · Privacy policy Anthropic — Terms of service · Privacy policy Google AI — Terms of service · Privacy policy If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request is made. How to opt out Set AI Summary generation to Disabled in the AI Summary tab of the plugin settings. Or choose Extractive only to keep summaries fully local — zero external requests, ever. Or choose AI only while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated. The visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button is off by default; if enabled, you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks never reach an external provider. Sharing buttons The social and AI sharing buttons render as / elements that open the respective destination only when the visitor clicks them — your server does not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button clicks runs locally on your own site. Advanced Usage Shortcode parameters The [ayudawp_share_buttons] shortcode accepts several parameters: buttons: Comma-separated list of buttons to display – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon"] – Available: twitter, linkedin, facebook, telegram, whatsapp, email, raindrop, reddit, bluesky, line, mastodon, threads, pinterest, claude, chatgpt, google_ai, gemini, grok, perplexity, deepseek, mistral, copilot, qwen, meta_ai style: Visual style to use – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="outline"] – Options: minimal, brand, outline, dark, custom, icons-only size: Button size preset – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons size="compact"] – Options: compact, normal, large, fluid show_icons: Show icons with text (for non-icons-only styles) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_icons="true" style="brand"] – Options: true, false icon_style: Icon corner style (for icons-only mode) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] – Options: circular, square alignment: Button alignment – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons alignment="center"] – Options: left, center show_title: Show or hide the section title – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="false"] – Options: true, false title_text: Custom title text – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_text="Share this content"] title_style: Title HTML element – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_style="h3"] – Options: h3, h4, h5, h6, span ai_title: Section title for AI buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI"] social_title: Section title for social buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons social_title="Share on social media"] Combined examples: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"] [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"] [ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"] AI summary shortcode The [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone collapsible block. Useful when you want to place the summary somewhere other than where the share buttons are auto-inserted, or when you have buttons disabled but still want to surface the summary. post_id: Render the summary of a specific post – Example: [ayudawp_aiss_summary post_id="123"] – Defaults to the current post in the loop when omitted The shortcode outputs nothing when the post has no stored summary, so it is safe to drop into templates without conditional wrappers. CSS Customization Guide The plugin uses CSS custom properties for all brand colors. You can override these in your theme to change any platform color globally: Override platform colors: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #ff0000; –ayudawp-chatgpt: #00ff00; } Main container classes: – .ayudawp-share-buttons – Main wrapper container – .ayudawp-buttons-container – Direct container for all buttons – .ayudawp-title – Title element before buttons – .ayudawp-section-title – Section title with extra top margin – .ayudawp-aiss-centered – Applied when centered alignment is enabled Button classes: – .ayudawp-share-btn – Base class for all buttons (both and elements) – .ayudawp-icon-wrapper – Container for button icons – .ayudawp-button-text – Text label inside buttons – .ayudawp-icon – SVG icon element Style modifier classes: – .brand – Brand colors style – .outline – Outline style (brand-colored borders) – .minimal – Minimal style – .dark – Dark background style – .custom – Custom colors style – .icons-only – Icons-only mode – .with-icons – Text buttons with icons – .circular – Circular icon buttons – .square – Square icon buttons Size modifier classes: – .size-compact – Compact button size – .size-large – Large button size – .size-fluid – Fluid width buttons Platform-specific classes (on buttons): – .twitter, .linkedin, .facebook, .telegram, .whatsapp – .email, .raindrop, .reddit, .bluesky, .line – .mastodon, .threads, .pinterest – .claude, .chatgpt, .google-ai, .gemini, .grok – .perplexity, .deepseek, .mistral, .copilot – .qwen, .meta-ai – .ai – Applied to all AI platform buttons Example: Change Claude button color: .ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #your-color; } Example: Change all AI buttons background: .ayudawp-share-buttons .ayudawp-share-btn.ai { background: #f0f0f0; } Example: Hide specific button: .ayudawp-share-btn.facebook { display: none; } Customize or remove separator lines: The main container has top and bottom border lines. You can hide either of them from the settings (Share Buttons → Separator lines) with no code.
