ComputeLib Blog Genie AI

Description

ComputeLib Blog Genie AI connects your WordPress or WooCommerce site to the backend service and embeds the application directly in your WordPress admin — no separate login, no copy-pasting content between tabs.

On activation the plugin registers your site with the service and receives a store API key. Every REST request the admin app makes is then proxied server-side through WordPress, so your browser does not talk to the backend cross-origin for those. The live progress connection (Socket.IO) is the exception: it is opened directly from your browser to the service, so the store API key is exposed to the plugin’s admin screen in order to authenticate it.

What you can do

  • Browse your catalogue — the dashboard lists your WooCommerce products (or your posts on a plain WordPress install) with search, sorting and pagination.
  • Generate blogs from products — generate an article for one product, or select several products and generate in bulk.
  • Set your content preferences — niche/topic, comma-separated keywords, tone of voice, language and target age group are applied to every generation.
  • Review before anything goes live — generated articles land in Generated Blogs with a live status (generating, pending, improving, approved, rejected). Nothing is published without your approval.
  • Improve with AI — send a draft back for another AI pass with your own instructions.
  • Edit in a rich text editor — fix wording, headings or formatting yourself before approving.
  • Publish or schedule to many destinations — pick which connected platforms each approved article goes to, and optionally set a publish time per platform.
  • Track usage — remaining credits and plan limits (blogs generated, AI improvements used) are shown in the app and enforced by the backend.
  • Live progress updates — a WebSocket/Socket.IO connection streams generation progress into the admin screen.

Supported publishing destinations

WordPress, Medium, Ghost, Blogger, LinkedIn, Hashnode, Wix, Shopify, BigCommerce, HubSpot, Google Docs, Reddit, Google My Business, Tumblr, Dev.to, X/Twitter, Instagram and Notion.

Options created

  • blog_genie_ai_consumer_key — generated ck_… publishing key
  • blog_genie_ai_consumer_secret — generated cs_… publishing secret
  • blog_genie_ai_store_api_key — key returned by the backend; sent as X-Store-Api-Key
  • blog_genie_ai_platform_idwoocommerce or wordpress, kept in sync on each load
  • blog_genie_ai_synced_platform_id — platform type at the last successful backend sync

External services

This plugin connects to the ComputeLib Blog Genie AI service, an external API operated by ComputeLib and hosted at https://proxy-outbound2.helpusbloom.com

The service performs the AI article generation and the publishing to third-party destinations. The plugin is a client for that service and does not function without it. No data is sent before the plugin is activated.

What is sent, and when:

  • On activation, and each time the plugin’s admin screen is opened: your site name, your site URL, the site administrator email address, the detected platform type (“wordpress” or “woocommerce”) and a randomly generated access token pair. This registers your site with the service and returns the store API key used to authenticate later requests.
  • When you generate an article, in bulk or for a single item: the selected product or post data (title, description, price, category and image URLs) together with the content preferences you set (topic, keywords, tone, language, target age group).
  • When you request an AI improvement: the article identifier and the instructions you type.
  • When you view, edit, approve, reject or delete generated articles: the article identifier and, when editing, the article content.
  • When you connect a publishing destination: the API credentials you enter for that destination, so the service can publish on your behalf.
  • When you open a plan upgrade: the name of the plan you selected, to start a Stripe checkout session.
  • While an article is generating: the plugin holds an authenticated Socket.IO connection to the same host to stream progress into the admin screen.

All of the above except the last are sent from your server, not from your browser: they are proxied through this plugin’s own REST routes, which add the store API key server-side. The Socket.IO progress connection is made directly from your browser to the service, and the store API key is available to the plugin’s admin screen so that connection can authenticate.

This service is provided by ComputeLib.

Source code

The admin interface is a React application. The plugin ships the compiled bundle
in dist/assets/, and the complete, unminified source for that bundle is included
in the source/ directory of this plugin. No separate download is required.

To rebuild the bundle from the included source:

  1. Install Node.js 18 or newer.
  2. From the source/ directory, install the dependencies:
    npm install
  3. Build the application:
    npm run build
  4. Copy the generated source/dist/assets/*.js and *.css files into the plugin’s
    dist/assets/ directory, replacing the existing files.

The build uses Vite (see source/vite.config.ts) and TypeScript. Environment
variables are documented in source/env.example. All third-party libraries are
declared in source/package.json and are installed from the public npm registry.

Installation

  1. In wp-admin go to Plugins Add New Plugin Upload Plugin, choose the ZIP and click Install Now.
  2. Click Activate Plugin.
  3. Open ComputeLib Blog Genie AI in the admin sidebar.

FAQ

Does this work without WooCommerce?

Yes. On a plain WordPress install the plugin lists your posts instead of products.

Is an account with the service required?

Yes. The plugin registers your site with the backend service on activation; all generation happens there.

Changelog

2.1.7

  • The local publish route now requires the manage_options capability, matching every other REST route in the plugin. It previously accepted publish_posts.
  • Corrected the description of how the store API key is handled: REST requests are proxied server-side, but the live progress connection is opened directly from the browser and the key is available to the admin screen.

2.1.6

  • Reduced the bundled admin app to only the code this plugin uses; unrelated application code has been removed from source/ and from the compiled bundle.

2.1.5

  • Renamed the plugin and prefixed all functions, options, hooks and REST namespaces.
  • All REST routes now require the manage_options capability.
  • Internal REST URLs are built with rest_url().
  • Replaced all remotely loaded placeholder images and the remote Shopify App Bridge script with local assets in the bundled admin app.
  • Included the full React source for the bundled admin app in source/, with build instructions.
