jharm AI Featured Image vs SMTP2GO for WordPress –

Tired of searching stock photo sites for every blog post? AI Featured Image Generator lets you create a fitting featured image with one click — directly from the post editor. Key features: One-click generation from the Block Editor sidebar Bring Your Own API Key — supports OpenAI (DALL-E 3) and Ideogram Custom prompt option — override the auto-generated prompt before generating Generated images are stored in your Media Library and automatically set as Featured Image Regenerate variations with a single click Lightweight — no tracking, no telemetry, no admin notice spam Why “Bring Your Own Key”? Image generation costs money. Instead of charging you a markup, you connect your own API key and pay providers directly at cost. Typically a few cents per image. Supported providers: OpenAI DALL-E 3 (openai.com) — recommended, sign up at platform.openai.com Ideogram (ideogram.ai) — alternative provider What this plugin is NOT: Not a 50-feature AI suite Not a stock photo replacement (you control the prompts) Not phoning home — your data stays between you and your chosen AI provider Source Code The Block Editor sidebar is compiled JavaScript built with @wordpress/scripts. The unminified source is included in the plugin package under src/sidebar.js. To rebuild from source: Install Node.js (v18 or higher) and npm. In the plugin directory, run: npm install Build the production bundle: npm run build The compiled output is written to assets/js/sidebar.js and assets/js/sidebar.asset.php. External Services This plugin connects to external AI services to generate images. These connections are made exclusively when a user manually triggers image generation or tests their API key — never automatically. OpenAI (DALL-E 3) When OpenAI is selected, the plugin sends your post title and optional custom prompt to the OpenAI API in order to generate an image. Service URL: https://api.openai.com/ Terms of Use: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy Ideogram When Ideogram is selected, the plugin sends your post title and optional custom prompt to the Ideogram API in order to generate an image. Service URL: https://api.ideogram.ai/ Terms of Use: https://ideogram.ai/about/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://ideogram.ai/about/privacy-policy No data is sent to the plugin author or any third parties. Generated images are stored in your own WordPress Media Library.
