ChatGPT

Add a customized chatbot (powered by ChatGPT) to your pages or posts using a shortcode or widget. Use this to engage with and attract visitors using another level of interaction and you can also save logs of the chats to gain knowledge of their experiences. Here is an example of a basic chatbot adding to a post using a shortcode.

Image Generator

With this tool, you can enter prompts and it will then use AI to generate images based on what you enter. This is a good way to add original graphic content to your posts or create images that catch the attention of visitors. You can also customize them further by choosing from different artist styles, lighting, color, size, etc.

AI Image Generator

AI Forms

Use AI power to automatically create forms that you can then quickly embed on your site with a shortcode. Choose from a selection of templates to customize and design your content for your forms based on its specific purpose.

PromptBase

The Promptbase includes pre-built chat prompts for specific types of content and categories. Use this as inspiration to generate new content for specific purposes such as real estate, sales, SEO, social media, etc.

Playground

This is an area in your Dashboard for testing the ChatGPT response to different prompts without having to generate a post.

Embeddings Tool

Here you can connect to a third-party database (Pinecone) to store data and then enter specific answers to questions that visitors may ask the chatbot. This can help artificial intelligence understand the meaning of words better over time as the database grows.

AI Trainer

With this tool you can upload a dataset in .jsonl format to “fine-tune” the artificial intelligence’s knowledge to better suit your site. For example, you can enter a prompt and response value to automatically include specific information when a prompt is entered. This can assist in teaching the model to respond accurately to prompts.

AI Content Writing Assistant

Unlike the other two plugins we covered, this one is primarily focused on using AI to generate posts. While it does include a ChatGPT playground and AI image generator, it does not include a full suite of tools for things such as chatbots, performance tools, AI trainers, or form generators.

This can be a good option if you are only looking for a simple plugin that is mainly used for WordPress post creation and you don’t need all the extra features.

Tips and Tricks

Now that you know how to automatically generate WordPress posts from your Dashboard using ChatGPT by OpenAI, we’ll provide some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of this powerful tool.

Use Prompts That Target Your Goals

Start by identifying the goals of the posts that you want to create, such as teaching visitors how to accomplish something, generating sales leads, or driving traffic to your site. For example, if your goal is to generate sales leads, you could use prompts that include topics that are related to the items that you sell. You could even use ChatGPT to help come up with good titles based on the intent of the post, then use those titles to generate the rest of the content.

Use the Available Plugin Features

Each plugin is a little different and some include additional features, be sure to utilize these to save time and to help you produce great content. It can also save time and server usage by performing a task without having to install another 3rd party plugin

Review and Edit Content Before Publishing

While ChatGPT does a pretty good job of generating the content, you should absolutely still review it for accuracy and update it to ensure it is meeting the needs of your specific goal. This may include adding images, adjusting terminology, re-wording sections, adding more details, removing repetitive content, and making sure it flows with your website’s theme.

Other Things to take into consideration:

  • Update the content for SEO
  • Add links to related content on your site
  • Add images
  • Add a table of content

Monitor Search Engine Data and Update Content

Publishing great posts is just the beginning of the content creation process. You must also continue to curate the posts to best meet the needs or intentions of your visitors. For example, you could setup Google Analytics and use it to learn more about your visitors then adjust the posts to better target that demographic.

Another technique is to utilize Google Search Console to determine the specific queries people are using to find a post and then update the content to better match their search intent. This can go a long way to helping your target audience and driving more traffic to your website.
