How to Use AI Writing Tools in WordPress: Generate Blog Posts, Images, and Social Content Automatically
From content creation, to image generation, and SEO best practices, Automator is the only AI writing tool for WordPress that you’ll ever need.
Part of managing a WordPress website entails constantly churning out new and engaging content. Blog posts, product descriptions, landing page copy, promotional emails, new images, social media updates, tutorials, downloadable ebooks… You get the idea.
It’s enough to occupy a full-time job—and then some. Unfortunately, not every WordPress user has the resources to hire a content manager.
Or do they?
With the help of Uncanny Automator and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, we were able to create the blog post pictured above for just $0.20.
Yes, you read that right.
Every word, image, and clever turn of phrase you see above was generated with AI for mere pennies. And in less time than it takes to say, “Thank you, generative pre-trained transformer!”
Want to know exactly how we did it?
In this post, we’ll show you how you can leverage the power of AI writing and image generation tools for your WordPress website.
Ready to write faster, better, and more engaging content with AI? Let’s dive in.
The Best AI Writing Tool for WordPress in 2024 and Beyond
Ever since OpenAI’s ChatGPT emerged from its digital cocoon in November 2022, AI writing tools have multiplied faster than a recursive function call without a base case… In other words, very quickly.
And, while it’s great to have so many options, there is only one AI plugin for WordPress that can handle all of your content generation needs, from ideation to publication and promotion.
Uncanny Automator: The Best AI-Integration Plugin for WordPress
You may already know Uncanny Automator as the #1 automation and integration tool for WordPress websites. But, in case you didn’t, the concept is pretty simple: it’s like Zapier for WordPress… only cheaper!

With Automator, you’re not just using any AI plugin—you’re tapping into the brain of today’s most powerful AI.

- Create an OpenAI API Platform account: Head over to the OpenAI API Platform and sign up. Once you’re in, you’ll have access to the full range of OpenAI’s powerful capabilities.
- Load your account with funds: To start using the API, add a small balance—$5.00 is usually enough to explore all that Automator’s AI features offer.
- Connect to Automator: From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Uncanny Automator > Settings. Under the App integrations tab, scroll down to OpenAI and paste a secret API key into the available field.

Now that you’re connected to the brain of today’s most powerful AI, let’s explore how to put it to work by writing a blog post with AI in WordPress.
How to Write a Blog Post With AI in WordPress
With your OpenAI and WordPress integration ready, let’s start writing your first AI-powered blog post.
Step 1: Create a New Recipe
From your WordPress Admin Dashboard, navigate to Automator > Add new recipe. In the popup window that appears, select Everyone.
Step 2: Name Your Recipe
Give your recipe a name that makes it easy to recognize at a glance. For example, we have named this recipe “Write a Blog Post with OpenAI”.
Step 3: Configure Your Trigger(s)
In the Trigger panel, from the menu of available integrations, select Run now.
From the dropdown list that appears, select Trigger recipe manually. Your completed trigger should look like this:
Step 4: Configure Your AI-Written Blog Post
In the Actions panel, click Add action and select OpenAI.
From the dropdown list that appears, select Use a prompt to generate text with the GPT model.
Automator will present you with a form where you can specify the prompt and parameters for the GPT’s response.
Just as you can inside the API Platform, you can select the Model, Temperature, Maximum length (in tokens) for your response.
- Model: Selects the version of AI you’re using, which can impact response quality and complexity.
- Temperature: Controls the creativity of the response—higher values produce more varied, creative outputs, while lower values are more straightforward and focused.
- Maximum length: Limits the length of the response; a higher number generates longer responses, while a lower number keeps it brief.
Configure a System message and Prompt.
Once you’re finished, click Save.
This prompt will generate the body of our new blog post. But we still need an eye-catching featured image, an irresistible title, an SEO-friendly excerpt, and some punchy copy to help our content go viral on social media.
So, let’s add a few actions to our Automator recipe.
How to Generate AI Images in WordPress
Step 5: Configure Your AI Image
In the Actions panel, click Add action and select OpenAI. From the dropdown list that appears, select Use a prompt to generate an image.
Automator will present you with a form where you can specify the Model and Size. For example, we have selected the model DALL-E 3 HD and the image size that best suits our layout and theme, 1792×1024.
Next, write a prompt that would generate a featured image that is in-keeping with your brand and the subject matter of your blog post.
Once you’re finished, click Save.

AI-Powered SEO for WordPress (Titles, Excerpts, and More)
With the actions that we’ve configured so far, we have the body of our blog post and what is guaranteed to be an eye-popping image. Now we just need to put the finishing touches on our blog post with an SEO-friendly title and excerpt.
Step 6: Configure Your SEO Title
In the Actions panel, click Add action and select OpenAI. From the dropdown list that appears, select Generate an SEO title with GPT-4.
Automator will present you with a Content field that OpenAI will then analyze to generate an appropriate, SEO-friendly title. We’re going to fill out this field using a token—but these tokens are slightly different from OpenAI’s tokens.
Within Automator, a token represents dynamic data pulled from your WordPress or from within recipes. In this case, we will select the token that represents the content that we had OpenAI generate in our first action.
To use tokens in Automator, click the Asterisk in a field and select the corresponding token. For example, we have selected the “Response” token from our first OpenAI action.
(Note: In any recipe with more than one action, Automator will assign each action with a number. In recipes such as this one with multiple actions from the same integration, you can easily identify actions by their given number.)
Once you’re finished, click Save.
Step 7: Configure Your Excerpt
In the Actions panel, click Add action and select OpenAI. From the dropdown list that appears, select Generate an excerpt with GPT-4.
Once again, Automator will present you with a Content field as well as a Maximum length field. Fill out the Content field using the “Response” token from the first OpenAI action and determine the maximum length of the excerpt in words.
(Note: WordPress limits excerpt length to 55 words.)
Once you’re finished, click Save.
How to Publish WordPress Posts With AI Writing Tools
You’re just a few quick steps away from publishing a WordPress blog post with AI. Now that we have all of the AI-generated content that we need, it’s time to create our blog post.
Step 8: Configure Your WordPress Action(s)
In the Actions panel, click Add action and select WordPress.
From the dropdown list that appears select Create a post.
Automator will present you with a form to configure your new post. As you would from your WordPress Admin Dashboard, select the post Type, Taxonomies, etc.
(Note: We recommend setting the Status of your new blog post to “Draft” so that you can review and edit the AI-generated content before publishing it.)
You can now fill out the Title, Content, Excerpt, and Featured Image fields using tokens from each of our OpenAI actions.
Once you’re finished, click Save. Your recipe should now look something like this:
(Note: We have shortened the prompts in this image strictly for illustrative purposes. The Automator recipe editor will display the full text of your OpenAI prompts for convenience.)
Step 9: Write With AI!
You’re just about ready to write your first blog post totally using AI. All you have to do is click Run now and kick your up as Automator and OpenAI do the work for you!
Eager to see what your new AI writing tool produced? Once the recipe is complete, head to your Posts and check it out.
After reviewing our own AI-generated content, editing here and there and adding some additional images, this is our published blog post:
