Overview
What Kriti AI does
Kriti AI brings AI generation into your WordPress dashboard. Write a prompt and Kriti AI creates articles, images, audio and video with the AI provider you choose, using your own API key.
Everything Kriti AI generates is saved as a draft. Nothing appears on your site until you review it and publish it yourself.
- Bring your own provider: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, OpenRouter, Stability AI, Replicate, ElevenLabs, or a model running on your own server (Ollama or Local AI).
- Reusable prompts with variables such as
{{site_name}}and{{product_name}}. - Background queue: long jobs such as video keep running while you work on something else.
- Metrics: requests, success rate, token usage and estimated cost per provider.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.8 or later
- PHP 7.4 or later
- WP-Cron enabled (the WordPress default), or a real cron job that calls
wp-cron.php. See Queue and WP-Cron. - An account and API key with at least one AI provider. You can try everything first with the built-in Mock provider, which needs no key.
Only administrators (users with the manage_options capability) can use Kriti AI.
