Vexalyn AI Summary adds a sidebar panel to the Gutenberg editor that lets you generate a summary of your article with a single click using Ollama — either self-hosted or via Ollama Cloud.
Once generated, the summary is instantly inserted at the top of your article as native Gutenberg blocks (group, heading, paragraphs, signature). You can validate, cancel, or regenerate before publishing.

- Works with Ollama Cloud or any self-hosted Ollama instance
- Choose the model from a live list fetched from your Ollama API
- Fully customizable prompt with built-in examples
- Summary inserted as native blocks: group or details > heading/summary > content > signature
- Choice between Group block and Details/Summary block for the summary wrapper

- Test your connection and your prompt directly from the settings page
- CSS class on the group block is configurable for easy theme styling
- Developer filter to customize the thinking messages displayed during generation

No build step required. No Composer, no npm.
External services
This plugin connects to the Ollama API to generate AI summaries using language models.
Ollama can be used in two ways:
- Cloud: your requests are sent to Ollama’s hosted infrastructure at https://api.ollama.com — no local installation required, an API key is needed.
- Self-hosted: Ollama runs entirely on your own server or machine; no data ever leaves your infrastructure.
Data sent to the Ollama API:
- Article content entered by the user for summary generation
- Selected model name
- Configuration parameters (prompt)
When: only when the user manually clicks the “Generate summary” button — no automatic or background processing occurs.
No tracking of any kind is performed by this plugin. Summary generation is always triggered by an explicit user action.
