## Why use WPSummarize?

* **Time-Saving**
Why perform a task that can be automated at the same highest standard you expect?
We use advance AI to automatically generate concise, accurate summaries of your blog posts. No manual work required - just publish your content and let our plugin do the rest.

* **No Coding, yet Fully Customizable**
You do not need to do any coding to make this plugin your own. We made sure you can tweak exactly how, when and where summaries are generated and displayed.
We have themes ready, a great batch process for your old posts and all the options you might need.

* **Improved Reader Experience**
Not to be mean, but not everybody wants to read your whole 2,000 word article. Enhance user engagement by providing quick, digestible takeaways on each post.
Help your audience decide if the content is relevant to them, improving overall satisfaction and time spent on your site.

* **SEO Friendly**
Search engines favor pages that fulfill the search intent right away, without making users go through entire articles.
You can also choose to hide the summary content from search engines by enabling the Unfold summary on click option. The content is then dynamically loaded on click.

* **Fast and Convenient**
All summaries created are cached in your own database as post meta fields, making sure your website keeps loading super fast.
The entire summary generation process happens in the background, not wasting you any time at all.

* **OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic API Key needed**
Once you install WPSummarize, you will need to add your OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic API key in order to process your posts and generate summaries. You can get your API key at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

## Third-Party Libraries

1. WPSummarize uses the Action Scheduler library (https://actionscheduler.org/) to manage background processing tasks.
Action Scheduler is a robust scheduling library for WordPress, originally developed by the WooCommerce team.
It runs within your WordPress site and does not send data to external services.
The library is included with our plugin and does not require separate installation.

2. WPSummarize also uses Freemius (https://freemius.com) to manage our premium plans, licensing, and plugin updates.
Freemius collects and processes certain data as described in their Privacy Policy.
This includes basic site data (WordPress version, PHP version, etc.) and user data (email, name) for customers who purchase premium plans.
Freemius is only active if you opt in to usage tracking or purchase a premium plan.
You can opt out of non-essential data collection at any time through the plugin settings.
