Quickstart

Follow these 7 steps

1

Sign in with Google

Open ContentAI and sign in with Google to access your dashboard.

2

Add a website

In the dashboard, add the root domain of the WordPress site you want to use.

3

Confirm your plan

If you are on Free, no key is needed. If you are on Pro, keep your license key ready for WordPress setup.

4

Download the plugin

Download contentai-plugin.zip from the dashboard or from this page.

5

Install it into WordPress

Upload the zip from the WordPress Plugins screen and activate the plugin.

6

Set the right domain and key

Open the plugin settings, enter the exact same domain you added in the dashboard, then add your license key if you are on Pro.

7

Open Gutenberg and write

Create or open a post in Gutenberg. The ContentAI panel will let you generate, rewrite, and manage your draft flow.

Access

Sign in

ContentAI currently uses Google sign-in. After a successful login, you are taken straight to the dashboard to manage websites, quota, and the plugin download.

Note: You do not need to create an account manually first.
Dashboard

What the dashboard does

  • See which account you are signed in with.
  • Manage your list of registered WordPress websites.
  • Check whether a site is on Free or Pro.
  • Enter a license key to activate Pro for each website.
  • Track remaining quota (5 articles Free, 50 Pro).
  • Download the plugin to install into WordPress.
Website

How to add a website correctly

Enter the root domain only, for example https://example.com. Do not enter a post URL, category URL, or any child path such as https://example.com/post/demo.

Free plan

Just add the domain. You do not need a license key to start with the free quota.

Pro plan

After installing the plugin in WordPress, enter the exact domain and a valid license key to enable Pro for that site.

Plugin

Install the plugin into WordPress

  1. Download contentai-plugin.zip to your computer.
  2. Open WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Choose the zip file and click Install Now.
  4. Activate the plugin after installation.
  5. Open ContentAI → Settings and enter the domain, then the license key if you are on Pro.
Important: The domain inside the plugin must exactly match the domain you added in the dashboard. A mismatched domain is one of the most common setup mistakes.
Generate

Generate articles inside Gutenberg

  1. Open a new post or an existing draft in Gutenberg.
  2. Open the ContentAI panel beside the editor.
  3. Enter a keyword or a short article brief.
  4. Choose article count, language, framework, and related options.
  5. Click generate and wait for the result to return to the editor.

After generation finishes, you can insert the content into the post and edit it like any normal Gutenberg article. Watch your remaining quota before requesting multiple posts (5 articles/month free, 50 on Pro).

Rewrite

Rewrite paragraphs directly inside Gutenberg

While writing in Gutenberg, highlight a paragraph and the ContentAI floating toolbar will appear so you can rewrite that exact text in place.

You do not need to leave the editor or copy text into another tool.
  • Use it when you want a shorter version.
  • Use it when you want different phrasing with the same meaning.
  • Use it when a paragraph feels stiff, long, or hard to read.
Calendar

Schedule posts

The plugin includes its own calendar so you can see drafts, move them onto dates, and choose a publish time. After scheduling, verify the WordPress timezone so the publish time stays correct.

Plan

What is different between Free and Pro

Free

  • No license key is required to begin.
  • 5 articles + 5 AI images free per month.
  • Good for trying the product or running smaller workflows.

Pro

  • Requires a valid license key.
  • The website must be configured with the correct domain and key.
  • 50 articles + 30 AI images per month.
Support

Common issues

Cannot add a website

Usually caused by an invalid domain format, missing http/https, or a duplicate website already in the account.

Invalid license key

Check the license key, the domain entered in the plugin, and whether the key is still valid.

Generation is blocked

Check three things: the domain in the plugin, the remaining site quota, and the current license key.

Scheduled time is off

Check the WordPress timezone first, then verify the publish time again in the calendar.

If something still feels wrong, re-check the setup order: correct domain, plugin activated, valid key, then try generation again.
