AI Authors Studio (AAS)
AI Authors Studio (AAS) gives authors a dedicated workspace inside WordPress for turning an idea into a structured manuscript.
This plugin is built for writers who want more than a blank editor. It gives you a practical book workspace for planning, outlining, drafting, organizing, and exporting your project from one place.
✨ Included in this WordPress.org version
🗂️ Project-based book workspace — Create and manage writing projects inside WordPress. 🧭 Outline builder — Build, revise, and organize book outlines before or during drafting. ✍️ Chapter writing workspace — Draft your manuscript chapter by chapter in a structured environment. 🧱 Book organization tools — Manage front matter, back matter, and supporting book sections. 📄 TXT and DOCX import — Bring existing manuscript content into the workspace. 📤 TXT and DOCX export — Generate working manuscript files for editing, review, or publishing preparation. 🛠️ Publish workspace — Review formatting, layout, sections, and export settings in one place. 🤖 Optional OpenAI help — Add guided AI assistance for supported writing tasks after administrator setup.
The core workspace runs locally in WordPress. Optional AI help buttons stay off until a site administrator connects the plugin to the OpenAI API in AI Authors Studio (AAS) > AI Config. To use those AI buttons, the administrator must have an OpenAI API account or project with available billing or credits, create a secret API key, save that key in AI Config, and test the connection. ChatGPT subscriptions and OpenAI API usage are separate products.
This WordPress.org version does not require license keys or hosted subscription validation for the included local workspace tools.

External services
The core workspace runs locally in WordPress.
If an administrator enables the optional AI buttons, the plugin can send data to the OpenAI API configured by that administrator.
Service used when configured: * Service: OpenAI API * Service URL: https://platform.openai.com/ * Terms: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/ * Privacy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/
What is sent: * The user’s AI request * The current page context * Limited project or chapter context needed to answer the request * Model settings such as model name and max tokens
When it is sent: * Only when an administrator tests the AI connection in AI Config * Only when a logged-in user clicks one of the AI help buttons
Who controls the destination: * The site administrator chooses the OpenAI API key and settings used by the site
This plugin does not require a paid AI service for normal workspace operation. The optional AI buttons require separate OpenAI API access.
