Description

Smart Local AI adds three AI features to WordPress without a cloud AI service: semantic related posts, AI alt text for images and personalized recommendations for every visitor. The machine learning runs on-device, in the browser, with Transformers.js and WebGPU or WebAssembly. Your posts and images are never uploaded to an AI service, there is no OpenAI or Google API key to buy, and there is no per-request cost.

Version 1.2 brings a new app-style settings screen: a menu on the left, short tabs instead of long pages, and a live preview on the right that shows the related-posts widget, the recommendations or an alt-text suggestion exactly as your changes will look, before you save.

At a glance

Three modules: RelevantFlow (semantic related posts), AltGenius (AI alt text generator) and PersonaFlow (personalized content and product recommendations). Turn each on or off on its own.
Where the AI runs: in the logged-in editor’s browser, never on your server and never in the cloud. Visitors only receive pre-computed results.
Any content type: posts, pages, WooCommerce products or any public custom post type. Every page recommends items of its own type, so product pages show products and blog posts show posts.
Cost: free. No API key, no account, no usage fees.
Privacy: results are saved in your own WordPress database. PersonaFlow follows your cookie banner through the WP Consent API.
Works with: block and classic themes, page caching plugins and CDNs, shared hosting, multisite and WordPress Playground.

Who it is for

Blogs and publishers who want related posts that understand meaning, not just tags
WooCommerce stores that want « you may also like » product recommendations without sending shopper data to a third party
Privacy-conscious sites (GDPR, public sector, health, education) that cannot send content to external AI APIs
Anyone improving image SEO and accessibility with descriptive alt text
Agencies that need one plugin that works the same on every client site, with no API keys to manage

Why site owners choose Smart Local AI

No API keys, no subscriptions – zero recurring AI costs, however many posts or images you have
Private by design – the AI reads your content in your own browser; only small results reach your database
Works on shared hosting – no Python, no GPU and no AI libraries on the server
Fast for visitors – lists are prepared in advance and loaded after the page, so they work with page caching
See it before you save – every display setting has a live preview, with a desktop and phone view
Guided setup – a setup wizard checks your browser, shows each model’s size before downloading, and lets you try every feature on your own content first

RelevantFlow: semantic related posts

Most related-posts plugins match tags, categories or keywords. RelevantFlow understands meaning. It turns each post into a sentence embedding with the all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model and recommends content that is genuinely similar, even when two posts share no tags at all.

Semantic similarity instead of keyword overlap: synonyms and related ideas match
Choose the content type to index: posts, pages, products or a custom post type
Each page shows items of its own type; switching type keeps the old index, so switching back is instant
Cards, list or grid layouts, with or without images and excerpts
Colour presets (follow theme, light, dark, minimal) or your own colours and corner radius
Placed under the content automatically, inside any element with a CSS selector, or anywhere with the [atlas_ai_relevantflow] shortcode
Leave out old posts, and fall back to shared categories and tags for posts that are not indexed yet
The index is built in your browser in batches; new and updated posts are flagged for re-indexing automatically

AltGenius: AI alt text generator

Missing alt text hurts image SEO and accessibility (WCAG). AltGenius writes descriptive alt text with an image-captioning model that runs in your browser, so your photos never leave your site.

Two models: ViT-GPT2 (fast, about 250 MB) or Florence-2 (more detailed, about 460 MB)
Suggests alt text automatically when you upload an image, or on request in the Media Library
Block editor panel with a Generate button for every image in a post
Minimum confidence: suggestions the model is unsure about are not shown
Optional text before and after each suggestion for consistent, brand-aware wording
You always review a suggestion before it is saved
Bulk alt text for the whole Media Library is part of Smart Local AI Pro

PersonaFlow: personalized recommendations

PersonaFlow recommends content to each visitor based on what they actually read, the way streaming services recommend shows. It is off until you turn it on.

30 behaviour signals, such as page views, reading time, scroll depth, read completion, site searches, likes, dislikes and bookmarks
A taste profile for each visitor, computed on your own server from RelevantFlow’s embeddings
New visitors see related items; personal picks appear after a few signals
Context-aware: product pages recommend products, articles recommend articles
WooCommerce signals: product views, add to cart, purchases, reviews and wishlists
Show recommendations instead of related posts, next to them, or with the [atlas_ai_personaflow] shortcode
Optional like, dislike and save buttons on every recommendation
Analytics for any date range: actions, visitors, signals and the most engaging content
Data is kept for 90 days by default (you choose) and never leaves your server

Privacy and GDPR

Smart Local AI shows no cookie banner of its own. It works with the one you already have:

WP Consent API support: with Complianz, CookieYes, Cookiebot, Real Cookie Banner, Cookie Notice or any other consent plugin that supports the free WP Consent API, PersonaFlow records only visitors who allow the category you choose (marketing by default). It starts the moment a visitor accepts and stops, deleting the visitor ID, when they withdraw consent.
Other consent tools can send one documented browser event, or answer a filter for page views counted by the server.
Everything is declared: a Consent and privacy screen lists every item PersonaFlow stores, where and for how long. The same list goes into your consent plugin’s cookie declaration and into Settings Privacy Policy guide.
Data requests: logged-in users’ PersonaFlow data is included in WordPress’s Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data tools.
Post text and image pixels used by the AI never leave the editor’s browser. Usage data is sent to us only if an administrator opts in.

Every outside connection is listed under « External services ».

How the on-device AI works

The AI engine (ONNX Runtime for WebAssembly) ships inside the plugin. The open-source models are downloaded from the Hugging Face Hub only when you start the download, in the setup wizard or in a module’s settings:

RelevantFlow: Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2, about 23 MB
AltGenius: Xenova/vit-gpt2-image-captioning, about 250 MB, or onnx-community/Florence-2-base-ft, about 460 MB

The browser keeps each model in its cache after the first download, so it loads instantly next time (this needs HTTPS). WebGPU is used when the browser supports it (Chrome and Edge 113+); otherwise the plugin uses WebAssembly. The work runs in Web Workers, so the editor stays responsive.

Built for AI assistants

Every REST endpoint and setting describes itself. With AtlasMCP, the MCP server for WordPress, assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can check the index, change settings, rebuild related posts or read PersonaFlow analytics, with the same permission checks as the dashboard.

Smart Local AI Pro

Smart Local AI Pro adds:

Several content types at once, for example blog posts and products, each with its own index, number of items, heading and visitor profile
Bulk alt text for the whole Media Library
77 extra PersonaFlow signals: reactions, star ratings, shares, session context and deeper WooCommerce events
Visitor controls: hide a post, mute or block an author, dismiss a category
Extended analytics: engagement funnel, WooCommerce funnel, devices and sessions

Pro plugs into the same settings screen and setup wizard. The free plugin keeps working fully without it. Questions? Contact us.

External Services

This plugin connects to the following external services. Your posts, images and visitor data are never sent to any of them.

Hugging Face Model Hub

AI models are downloaded from the Hugging Face Model Hub (https://huggingface.co/ and its file download servers) by your browser, only when you start a download (in the setup wizard, the module settings, or when you first use a module), and are then kept in the browser’s Cache Storage. Like any download, Hugging Face sees the downloading browser’s IP address. If you enter a Hugging Face access token for Florence-2, it is sent to Hugging Face with the model download. The ONNX Runtime WebAssembly engine that runs the models ships with the plugin and is not downloaded from a CDN. 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 (~250 MB) – image captioning model
AltGenius (Florence-2): onnx-community/Florence-2-base-ft (~460 MB) – detailed image captioning model

These models are open source (Apache 2.0 or MIT). No user content, images or site data is uploaded to Hugging Face; the connection is download-only.

AtlasAiDev plugin list and WordPress.org plugin information

When an administrator opens Smart Local AI > Plugins, your server downloads the list of AtlasAiDev plugins from GitHub (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atlasaidev/plugins/main/plugins.json) and their ratings and install counts from the WordPress.org Plugins API (https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.2/). Both are cached for 24 hours. No site data is sent.

AtlasAiDev promotions (opt-in only)

Only if an administrator has opted in to AtlasAiDev usage data (see below), your server checks a small JSON file on GitHub Gist (https://gist.githubusercontent.com/) for current AtlasAiDev offers, at most every 12 hours, and shows them as dismissible notices to administrators. No site data is sent. Without opt-in this file is never requested.

GitHub Terms of Service · GitHub Privacy Statement

AtlasAiDev usage data (opt-in only)

Only if an administrator opts in (on the last step of the setup wizard, or in the admin notice), your server sends non-sensitive usage data once a week to AtlasAiDev (https://track.atlasaidev.com/): WordPress, PHP and plugin versions, which modules are enabled, content counts and setup progress. To include the site’s public IP address in this report it calls https://icanhazip.com/. Nothing is sent without opt-in, and you can opt out at any time.

Installation

From the WordPress plugin directory

Go to Plugins > Add New and search for « Smart Local AI »
Click Install Now, then Activate

Manual installation

Download the plugin zip file
Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, upload the zip and click Install Now
Activate the plugin

First run: the setup wizard

Open Smart Local AI in the admin menu. On a new site the setup wizard opens by itself; on a site that already used the plugin you get a short setup check instead, and nothing changes unless you save a step. The wizard walks you through:

Your goals – related posts, alt text, personalization, or all three
Device check – whether your browser can use WebGPU or WebAssembly, and whether the site is on HTTPS
AI models – the size and source of each model, then the download, with progress, Cancel and Resume
Related posts – indexes your latest content in your browser and previews the result on a real post
Alt text – writes alt text for one of your images so you can judge the quality before saving
PersonaFlow – explains what it records and lets you switch it on
Finish – a summary, an optional usage-data opt-in (off unless you tick it) and a link to your first post

You can skip any step, close the wizard at any time, and run it again with Run setup again on the Dashboard.

Day-to-day use

The settings screen has a menu on the left: Dashboard, RelevantFlow, PersonaFlow, AltGenius, Analytics and Documentation. Each screen has short tabs, a live preview on the right and one Save bar at the bottom (Ctrl+S also saves).

Content type: choose it on the Dashboard. A new type needs its index built; the old index is kept.
RelevantFlow: build or refresh the index under RelevantFlow Index. You need at least two published items of the chosen type. Related items appear as soon as the index is built.
AltGenius: upload an image and the alt text is suggested automatically, or use the AltGenius panel in the block editor.
PersonaFlow: turn it on from the Dashboard, then set the consent category under PersonaFlow Privacy if your site uses a cookie banner.

Requirements

WordPress 6.2 or higher, PHP 7.4 or higher
For the person who runs the AI: a modern browser with WebAssembly (Chrome 80+, Firefox 78+, Safari 15+, Edge 80+); WebGPU (Chrome or Edge 113+) is faster
HTTPS on the admin side, so the browser can keep the downloaded models
Visitors need nothing special: they only receive pre-computed results

FAQ

What is Smart Local AI?: Smart Local AI is a free WordPress plugin that adds AI features without cloud APIs. It runs open-source machine learning models in the browser (on-device AI) to produce semantic related posts, image alt text and personalized recommendations, and stores only the results in your WordPress database. It is made by AtlasAiDev and has a Pro add-on.
Do I need an OpenAI, Google or other API key?: No. Smart Local AI does not call any cloud AI service. There is nothing to sign up for and no usage bill.
Is it a free alternative to AI plugins that need an OpenAI key?: For related posts, alt text and on-site personalization, yes: those features run locally and cost nothing per use. It does not write blog posts or chat; it focuses on recommendations, accessibility and personalization.
Does Smart Local AI send my content or images anywhere?: No. Posts are embedded and images are captioned in the browser of the editor who runs the task; only the result is saved to your database. The only AI-related outside request is the one-time model download from Hugging Face, which you start yourself. Every outside connection is listed under « External services ».
Where does the AI actually run?: In the browser of the logged-in user who triggers it: the editor building the index, uploading an image or running the setup wizard. Visitors never download a model. They see related items and recommendations that were computed earlier and stored on your server.
Which AI models does it use?: RelevantFlow uses the sentence-transformer all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (about 23 MB). AltGenius uses ViT-GPT2 image captioning (about 250 MB) or Florence-2 base (about 460 MB) for more detailed alt text. All are open-source models from the Hugging Face Hub, run with Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime Web.
How big are the models and how long does the download take?: About 23 MB for related posts, 250 MB for the fast alt-text model and 460 MB for the detailed one. Each downloads once per browser, usually in one to two minutes, with a progress bar. On HTTPS sites the browser keeps the model, so later loads are instant.
Will it slow down my website?: No. The AI runs in the admin’s browser, never on the server and never for visitors. Visitors load small scripts and pre-computed lists after the page has loaded. PersonaFlow’s taste profiles are calculated on your server by scheduled tasks and cached per visitor.
Does it work with WooCommerce products and custom post types?: Yes. Choose the content type on the Dashboard: posts, pages, WooCommerce products or any public custom post type. Each page recommends items of its own type, so product pages show products. The free plugin indexes one type at a time; when you switch, the old index is kept, so switching back needs no rebuild.
Can I recommend blog posts and products at the same time?: Yes, with Smart Local AI Pro. It adds more content types next to the one you chose. Each type gets its own index, its own number of items and heading, and learns each visitor’s interest in that type separately, so reading blog posts does not steer product recommendations.
How is this different from other related-posts plugins?: Tag-based plugins can only connect posts that share labels or words. RelevantFlow compares the meaning of the text with a sentence-transformer model, so an article about « espresso grind size » can be related to one about « brewing better coffee at home » with no tags in common. Lists are prepared in advance, so the front end stays fast.
Can I see how the related posts will look before I save?: Yes. The settings screens show a live preview next to the settings. It follows the layout, number of items, images, excerpts, heading and colours as you change them, with a desktop and a phone view. Nothing reaches your site until you click Save.
How does PersonaFlow personalization work, and what does it store?: PersonaFlow records behaviour signals such as page views, scroll depth, reading time, site searches and, with WooCommerce, product views and purchases. They are stored in your own WordPress database. Visitors who are not logged in get a random visitor ID in their browser (plus a one-way hash of IP address and browser for page views counted by the server; the IP address itself is not stored); logged-in users are linked to their account. A taste profile per visitor is computed on your server to rank your content. Events are deleted after 90 days by default. Nothing is sent to us or to any third party. PersonaFlow is off until you turn it on.
Does PersonaFlow need a cookie banner or consent?: PersonaFlow sets no cookies, but it stores a visitor ID in the browser and records behaviour on your server, so in many countries it needs consent. Smart Local AI shows no banner of its own. Install the free WP Consent API plugin next to your cookie banner and choose the consent category under PersonaFlow Privacy; PersonaFlow then records only visitors who agreed. For consent tools without the WP Consent API, turn on « Wait for a consent signal » and follow Documentation Privacy and consent.
Which cookie banner plugins does it work with?: Any consent plugin that supports the WP Consent API, including Complianz, CookieYes, Cookiebot, Real Cookie Banner and Cookie Notice. PersonaFlow’s data also appears in their cookie declaration. Other tools can connect with one browser event or a PHP filter, both shown under Documentation Privacy and consent.
What happens to existing data when a visitor withdraws consent?: Tracking stops at once and the visitor ID is deleted from their browser. Data recorded earlier is removed by the daily cleanup when its retention period ends; for logged-in users you can erase it straight away with Tools Erase Personal Data.
Is it compatible with caching plugins?: Yes. Related items and recommendations are fetched by the browser after the page loads, and PersonaFlow’s tracker runs in the browser, so pages served from WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache or a CDN still work and are still counted.
Can I change how the lists look and where they appear?: Yes. Choose cards, list or grid; images and excerpts on or off; a colour preset or your own colours and corner radius; and your own heading. Lists appear under the content by default, inside any element with a CSS selector, or anywhere with the [atlas_ai_relevantflow] and [atlas_ai_personaflow] shortcodes (attributes: num, template, heading).
Is bulk alt text included in the free version?: Alt text on upload and in the block editor is free. Scanning the whole Media Library and fixing all missing alt text in one run is part of Smart Local AI Pro.
Can an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT manage the plugin?: Yes, through AtlasMCP, the MCP server for WordPress. Smart Local AI’s REST endpoints and settings describe themselves, so AtlasMCP can expose them as tools: check the index, change settings, flag posts for re-indexing, read PersonaFlow analytics and more, with the same permission checks as the dashboard.
What happens if JavaScript is disabled?: The related-posts block, recommendations and alt-text tools simply do not appear. Your site keeps working normally.
Where do I report security bugs found in this plugin?: Please report security bugs found in the source code of the Smart Local AI – Related Posts, AI Alt Text & Personalized Recommendations plugin through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify the developers of this plugin.
