External Services
Scout Image Studio supports optional AI-assisted filename generation through OpenAI and Google Gemini. The plugin can be used fully for manual and sequential renaming without configuring either service.
No image or media content is sent automatically. A selected image is transmitted only after an authorized administrator explicitly clicks Select Name with AI or Generate Another Idea.
For an AI naming request, Scout Image Studio sends the selected image itself (base64-encoded), filename-generation instructions, and contextual information used to guide the suggestion. Context can include the attachment title, alt text, parent-post title, a preferred SEO phrase, website context, and the configured maximum filename length. The request is sent directly from the WordPress site to the administrator-selected provider. Scout Image Studio does not route AI requests through a Scout-operated service.
When an administrator clicks Test Connection, the plugin contacts the configured provider/model endpoint to verify the saved API key and model. No selected image is included in the connection test.
API keys are stored in the site’s WordPress options table and are sent only to the selected provider as required to authenticate administrator-requested API operations.
OpenAI
OpenAI is used to analyze a selected image and return a concise filename suggestion when OpenAI is configured as the AI provider. Requests are sent to the OpenAI API only when an administrator explicitly requests AI naming or tests the configured connection.

Google Gemini
Google Gemini is used to analyze a selected image and return a concise filename suggestion when Gemini is configured as the AI provider. Requests are sent to the Google Gemini API only when an administrator explicitly requests AI naming or tests the configured connection.
