Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries vs MediaMind AI Widget

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.

MediaMind is an AI engagement platform built for publishers, editorial teams, and content-driven websites. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your MediaMind account in minutes, bringing a powerful AI assistant to every page and post — without touching a single line of theme code. For tips, tutorials, and platform updates, visit the MediaMind Blog. What problem does MediaMind solve? Most readers scan articles, miss key points, and leave without exploring more. You invest hours writing great content, but a significant share of your audience never fully engages with it. MediaMind fixes that by giving every reader their own AI assistant, right inside your article: Readers who are in a hurry get an instant AI summary with key takeaways. Curious readers can ask any question about the article and get an accurate, contextual answer — in their own language. Readers who want to go deeper get personalised article recommendations that keep them on your site. Your editorial team gets a content gaps dashboard: the real questions your readers ask but your content doesn’t fully answer yet — your next editorial calendar, written by your audience. Key features For your readers AI Summary — one-click article digest with key points, so time-poor readers always get the value Interactive Q&A chat — readers type any question and get a conversational, contextual answer grounded in your article Suggested questions — pre-generated questions appear as clickable chips, lowering the barrier to engagement Article recommendations — AI-curated “read also” cards that match the reader’s current interest Persistent chat — the reader’s conversation is saved across sessions; they pick up right where they left off Multilingual — widget interface and AI responses in French or English (auto-detected or set per site) For your editorial team Content gaps — ranked list of reader questions that your content does not yet answer Trending topics — real-time view of which subjects are driving the most reader curiosity Engagement analytics — reads, questions asked, interaction rate, time spent — per article and globally AI editorial consultant — an AI chat assistant that discusses content strategy with you, based on your actual reader data (Pro/Scale plans) AI recommendations engine — automated “what to write next” suggestions derived from reader behaviour (Pro/Scale plans) For your development team REST API — full access to pages, analytics, Q&A, and recommendations from any system Webhooks — real-time push notifications when content is synced, questions asked, or anomalies detected HTML zones — drop lightweight placeholders anywhere in your theme to inject AI content inline (no iframe) * Headless-ready — works with Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, or any front-end via the JavaScript snippet How the WordPress plugin works Install and activate the plugin, then enter your Widget Key in Settings > MediaMind. The AI widget is automatically injected on every post and page — a floating button that opens an AI panel with a Summary tab, a Q&A chat tab, and article recommendations — without any theme modification. The widget resolves the current page automatically via its URL — no manual sync required. You can optionally place HTML zone tags in your templates for a fully inline, design-native experience. HTML zones (optional, advanced) Instead of the default floating chat button, you can embed AI content directly into your article layout: Renders an inline AI summary with key points. Renders a set of suggested question chips for readers to click. Renders a full inline chat panel — ideal for dedicated AI assistant pages. These zones are design-neutral: MediaMind adapts its colours and fonts to your dashboard settings; you control the surrounding layout.

External Services This plugin connects to the MediaMind API, an external AI engagement service operated by MediaMind. What the service does: MediaMind indexes your content and provides AI-generated summaries, Q&A chat, and article recommendations to your readers. What data is sent and when: On front-end page load: The Widget Key is embedded in the page source and used to load the AI widget script from the MediaMind servers. The current page URL is passed to the widget so it can display the correct AI content. On reader interaction: When a visitor uses the AI widget (opens a summary, types a question, or requests recommendations), their query text and the current page URL are transmitted to MediaMind servers for AI processing. No personally identifiable information (name, email, login data) is collected by the plugin or transmitted to MediaMind. Service endpoint: https://api.mediamind.inoutconnect.com A MediaMind account is required to use this plugin. The free plan requires no credit card. Service website: https://mediamind.pro Terms of Service: https://news.mediamind.pro/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://news.mediamind.pro/privacy.html Blog & documentation: https://blog.mediamind.pro/ Privacy This plugin does not set any cookies directly. The MediaMind JavaScript widget may store a session token in localStorage on the reader’s browser in order to maintain persistent chat history across page loads. No tracking cookies are set. Data transmitted to MediaMind: Reader interaction data (client-side): Query text and page URL — sent only when a reader actively uses the AI widget. No PII is collected by default. The plugin does not transmit reader IP addresses, email addresses, or WordPress user data. Site administrators can delete all reader interaction data for their site from the MediaMind dashboard at any time. MediaMind does not sell reader data to third parties.
