Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries vs Quinn FAQ

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.
