Smart Local AI – Browser-Based Private AI Tools vs VigIA – AI Visibility, Analytics & Control

Smart Local AI brings machine learning directly to the browser. Every ML model runs on-device in the visitor’s or editor’s browser using Transformers.js and WebGPU/WASM. No data is ever sent to external servers, no cloud API keys are needed, and there are zero recurring costs. Modules RelevantFlow — Semantic Content Recommendations Traditional related-posts plugins match by shared tags or categories. RelevantFlow uses a sentence-transformer model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) to understand the meaning of your content and recommend posts that are genuinely related — even when they share no tags at all. Understands synonyms and concepts (e.g. “Salah” and “Islamic Prayer” match) Works with any content type — Posts, Pages, WooCommerce Products, or custom post types Displays a responsive card widget below your content Three layout templates: cards, list, and grid Custom placement via CSS selector or shortcode [atlas_ai_relevantflow] Theme customization with presets (Default, Light, Dark, Minimal) and custom colors Embedding index built in-browser by editors — zero server load Nightly cron flags new/updated content for re-indexing PersonaFlow — Personalized Content Recommendations PersonaFlow delivers personalized content recommendations based on visitor behavior — like Netflix for your WordPress site. It tracks 30 behavioral signals (scroll depth, reading time, click patterns, etc.) and computes a per-visitor taste vector to surface the most relevant content for each individual visitor. Personalized recommendations powered by real-time behavioral tracking 30 behavioral signals including scroll depth, reading time, and engagement patterns Per-visitor taste profile computed entirely in the browser — no server-side tracking WooCommerce integration for product recommendations Three layout templates: cards, list, and grid Custom placement via CSS selector or shortcode [atlas_ai_personaflow] Theme customization with presets and custom colors All tracking data stays on the visitor’s device — fully GDPR compliant Automatic taste decay ensures recommendations stay fresh and relevant AltGenius — Automatic Alt Text Generation Missing alt text hurts SEO rankings and violates ADA/WCAG accessibility guidelines. AltGenius generates descriptive alt text for every image in your media library — entirely in the browser. Two AI models: ViT-GPT2 (fast) and Florence-2 (detailed) Bulk Scan to audit and fix your entire media library at once Auto-generate on media upload Editor sidebar panel for per-image control with prefix/suffix No per-image fees, no cloud processing Key Features Zero Cost — No API keys, no subscriptions, no per-request fees Privacy by Architecture — All ML inference runs in the browser; data never leaves the device GDPR Compliant — No external data transmission means no DPA required Shared Hosting Compatible — No server-side ML dependencies; works anywhere WordPress runs WebGPU + WASM — Hardware-accelerated inference with automatic fallback Modular — Enable only the modules you need; each can work standalone Cached Models — ML models are cached in IndexedDB after first download for instant reuse Themeable — Built-in theme presets and custom color options to match any WordPress theme Upgrade to Pro Get more powerful AI modules and premium features with Smart Local AI Pro. Have questions or need support? Contact us. How It Works All AI processing runs in your browser. No server-side ML is required. On first use, models are downloaded from Hugging Face and cached in the browser’s IndexedDB — this one-time download may take 1–2 minutes depending on your connection. After that, models load instantly. RelevantFlow (Related Posts) Go to Smart Local AI > Dashboard and enable the RelevantFlow module (or follow the setup wizard after activation) Select which content type to index from the Content Type selector on the Dashboard (defaults to Posts) Go to the RelevantFlow tab and click Build Index — this downloads the MiniLM model (~23 MB) and generates an embedding for each published item of the selected content type You need at least 2 published items of the selected content type for recommendations to appear Visit any item on the frontend — a “You Might Also Enjoy” section will appear below the content showing semantically related items PersonaFlow (Personalized Recommendations) Go to Smart Local AI > Dashboard and enable the PersonaFlow module Go to the PersonaFlow tab to configure display settings (number of recommendations, layout template, appearance) Visit posts on the frontend — PersonaFlow will track reading behavior and build a taste profile After a few page views, personalized recommendations will appear below the content based on the visitor’s interests Use the shortcode [atlas_ai_personaflow] to place recommendations anywhere in your theme AltGenius (Image Alt Text) Go to Smart Local AI > Dashboard and enable the AltGenius module Upload an image via Media > Add New Media File — the model downloads on first use (~300 MB for ViT-GPT2) and alt text is generated automatically Or go to Smart Local AI > Bulk Alt Text and click Start Bulk Scan to generate alt text for all existing images missing it Or edit any post with images in the Block Editor — the AltGenius sidebar panel shows each image with a Generate Alt Text button External Services This plugin connects to the following external services. No user data or site content is transmitted to these services — only the ML model files are downloaded. Hugging Face Model Hub ML models are downloaded from the Hugging Face Model Hub (https://huggingface.co/) on first use and cached in the browser’s IndexedDB. The following models are used: RelevantFlow: Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (~23 MB) — Sentence transformer for content embeddings AltGenius (ViT-GPT2): Xenova/vit-gpt2-image-captioning (~300 MB) — Image captioning model AltGenius (Florence-2): onnx-community/Florence-2-base-ft (~460 MB) — Advanced image captioning model These models are open-source and licensed under Apache 2.0 or MIT.

No data is sent to external servers. Abilities API VigIA is one of the first WordPress plugins to implement the Abilities API introduced in WordPress 6.9. This API allows AI agents, automation tools, and external systems to discover and interact with VigIA’s functionality in a standardized, secure way. What are Abilities? Abilities are self-contained units of functionality that VigIA exposes through WordPress’s central registry. Each ability has defined inputs, outputs, and permissions, making it easy for automation tools to understand and use them. Available Abilities VigIA registers the following abilities: Analytics vigia/get-crawler-stats – Get statistics about AI crawler visits (total visits, unique crawlers, pages crawled) vigia/get-top-crawlers – Get a ranked list of most active AI crawlers vigia/get-top-pages – Get the most crawled pages on your site Blocking vigia/get-blocked-items – List all blocked crawlers and IP addresses vigia/block-crawler – Block a crawler by User-Agent pattern vigia/unblock-crawler – Remove an existing block Robots.txt vigia/get-robots-rules – Get current AI crawler rules in robots.txt vigia/add-robots-disallow – Add a Disallow directive for a crawler vigia/remove-robots-rule – Remove a robots.txt rule Use Cases Automated monitoring: AI agents can query crawler statistics and alert you to anomalies Reactive blocking: Automation tools can block crawlers that repeatedly ignore robots.txt External dashboards: Aggregate data from multiple WordPress sites with VigIA installed WP-CLI integration: Future command-line access through the Abilities API n8n / Make workflows: Build custom automation flows using VigIA’s abilities Requirements The Abilities API ships with WordPress 6.9 and later. On older WordPress versions, VigIA works normally but abilities and MCP are not available. MCP Server (Model Context Protocol) VigIA exposes its 9 abilities as native MCP tools to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Antigravity, Continue, Cline, Zed and similar) using the official WordPress MCP Adapter. The adapter ships bundled with the plugin, so the MCP endpoint is active right after installation — no Composer step or terminal access required. Requirements WordPress 6.9 or later (provides the Abilities API) Quick connect (recommended) Open VigIA > Extras > MCP and click “Generate password and connection commands”. The plugin creates a dedicated Application Password named VigIA MCP and renders ready-to-paste commands for Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop and a generic block (URL + Authorization header) for any other MCP client. The plain password is shown only once. If you lose it, revoke the entry from the same panel and generate a new one. Endpoint https://your-site.example/wp-json/vigia/v1/mcp The endpoint uses HTTP Basic auth with the WordPress Application Password. The user must have the manage_options capability. Connecting Claude Code Quick Connect builds the full command for you. The shape is: claude mcp add --transport http vigia https://your-site.example/wp-json/vigia/v1/mcp --header "Authorization: Basic BASE64_OF_USER_AND_APP_PASSWORD" Claude Code merges the new entry into its config file automatically — no risk of breaking other servers. Connecting Cursor Save the JSON block from Quick Connect as ~/.cursor/mcp.json. You can also reach this file from inside Cursor at Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP. If the file already exists with other content, see the FAQ. Claude Desktop and other clients Claude Desktop does not speak HTTP MCP, so it needs a small bridge and a config file of its own. Any other client (Codex CLI, Continue, Cline, Antigravity, Zed, or your own) takes the two raw values Quick Connect exposes: the server URL and the Authorization header. Both cases are covered in the FAQ, together with how to merge VigIA into a config file that already exists without losing what is in it. Read-only mode If you only want your AI to consult VigIA (not change anything), enable “Read-only mode” in the MCP tab. While on, write actions (block, unblock, robots changes) return a permission denied error. Read actions (statistics, top crawlers, blocked items, robots rules) keep working. The toggle stores a vigia_mcp_read_only option that hooks into the vigia_can_write_via_abilities filter. Developers can still force read-only from a mu-plugin: add_filter( 'vigia_can_write_via_abilities', '__return_false' ); The mu-plugin filter at the default priority takes precedence over the toggle. Who can reach the endpoint The endpoint requires the capability to manage options, the same one every tool behind it already asked for. The vigia_mcp_transport_capability filter can lower that bar; each tool keeps its own permission check. After connecting Restart your MCP client after adding the server so it picks up the new tools. Then try a few prompts to confirm everything is wired up: “Show me VigIA crawler stats for the last 7 days.” “List the top 5 most crawled pages on this site.” “Add a robots.txt Disallow rule for TestBot and then list the current AI crawler rules.” The third example exercises a read + write + read round-trip, which is the most complete sanity check.
