Jetpack has launched a new WordPress plugin that incorporates OpenAI content generation directly into the WordPress editor, streamlining content creation within the WordPress workflow.
Jetpack by Automattic
Automattic, a well-known software development company, is the creator of popular plugins and platforms such as WooCommerce, Tumblr, Akismet, and Jetpack. Founded by Matt Mullenweg, who is also the founder of WordPress, Automattic has significantly contributed to many open-source projects like WordPress, WordCamp US, and bbPress.
Although Automattic operates separately from the non-profit WordPress.org, its deep involvement in developing and contributing to WordPress has established its software as a benchmark for plugins.
Powered by OpenAI
Since January 2023, WordPress has been testing a version of an OpenAI writing assistant. While the official announcement did not explicitly mention OpenAI, it has been confirmed that the plugin runs on OpenAI’s technology.
Jetpack AI Assistant
Jetpack introduced a new plugin called Jetpack AI Assistant to serve as a writing assistant for publishers. This plugin integrates seamlessly into the WordPress editor via a chat-like interface, providing a conversational user experience. Users familiar with ChatGPT will find the Jetpack AI content generator intuitive.
The process involves giving the AI instructions, referred to as "prompts." If the generated content requires adjustments, users can prompt the AI to make specific changes.

Pricing for WordPress AI Content Generator
The plugin offers 20 free content generation requests, after which it costs $10 per month for WordPress CMS users. WordPress.com users can access it for free for a limited time. The announcement notes that pricing may change as it is an experimental feature.
For those needing an efficient content generation solution within the WordPress environment, the Jetpack AI plugin is practical and eliminates the need to switch between different applications.
The WordPress content generator plugin is priced at $10 per month, which is half the price of ChatGPT, with no caps on the number of requests for the paid version. The free version allows up to twenty requests before requiring an upgrade. The paid version includes high volume requests and priority support.
At present, there is no upper limit on the number of requests that can be made with the paid version.
