Artificial intelligence is a subject I really enjoy, and I can’t devote as much time to it as I’d like, but I believe that in today’s world there are plenty of opportunities to make the most of this technology.
I’ve been dabbling in python for a while now and watching videos on the subject, but after watching Chuiso ‘s video talking about GPT-3:
I was once again desperate to try this technology out on a website.
Personally, I was also one of the people who, unfortunately, didn’t get access despite signing up.
I tried my luck again after watching the video and tested a different method.
Instead of joining the openAI waiting list, I tried logging in and resetting the password, to see whether I could «skip» the queue that way.
After registering I tried to log in, but it told me my account hadn’t been approved. A couple of days later, the long-awaited account activation email finally arrived.
Coincidence?
Building a WordPress site with Artificial Intelligence
After activation, I looked into a few plugins to see whether any of them used the GPT-3 API directly, but none of the ones I found worked with that API.
Even so, I found several interesting plugins that gave me a few problems; I’m still testing some of them and I’ve left others for later.
To run these tests, I looked for an expired recipe domain.
Why?
They are much easier to rank in SEO because of how many of them there are, and the aim was to set up something easy so I could start attracting traffic quickly.
After the results I’ll probably change the initial aim of the tests a little, but I won’t ramble on any further and will get to what I came here to tell you.
AI plugins
As I said, all or nearly all of them gave me problems, but I haven’t ruled out the tests yet and I’ll vary them so I can say more about them in this post.
Asimov
It’s a plugin that helps you with content suggestions based on your analytics data.
Based on the most interesting content on your website, it tells you which direction to take your strategy in.
There’s not much I can tell you, except that if you create a new analytics account, you have to wait a few days before you can connect it to the plugin. If you don’t wait, it will give you an error.
Automatic Tags
This plugin automates your tags and categories based on the content you create.
If I’m not mistaken, it picks out the most important words in your content and automatically links them to the tags and categories you’ve already created, as well as suggesting new options.
Automatic Alternative Text
For all of us SEOs who find filling in image attributes a real headache, what this plugin does is recognise images with artificial intelligence to automatically fill in the alts for all of them.
To use it, you need the Microsoft Computer Vision API. You get 5000 free requests a month.
Kindred Post
This plugin works like the classic related content plugin.
It learns from how users browse and tries to recommend content based on their behaviour.
MyCurator Content Curation
Need new content ideas? MyCurator finds those content ideas for you.
It has features that let you copy content quickly and make the necessary changes.
You need its API key, with a fairly limited free plan and other paid plans.
A very interesting plugin for anyone who works with content, as it can help them come up with new ideas.
And for those who work in black hat SEO and automation, I think they may find a goldmine here.
It doesn’t seem to work with artificial intelligence but rather with keywords.
Whatsonfinds
This plugin scans your content and tells you the emotion it is supposedly going to generate in the user.
To be honest, I’m somewhat sceptical about how this plugin works.
It lets you analyse all kinds of content, posts, pages, comments, and you can even paste in the text of emails or tweets to analyse them, although I need to see how it works in a language other than English and whether it really lives up to what it promises.
Speaker Lite
I find the video quite funny because it’s also generated with the plugin’s own audio, and they don’t use the best sound they can offer, but one that clearly sounds like a machine.
I was left really wanting more with this plugin. I don’t know whether it was the hosting or something else, but I’m currently investigating the error.
It’s a plugin that turns all the content on your site into a podcast, multilingual and with very good results from what I saw in the demo.
They have a free plan and a paid one.
WordLift
A plugin I was keen to try but haven’t yet, though I’ll end up trying it later on.
What mainly put me off was the price.
It’s a plugin that works on web semantics through internal markup very quickly and easily.
Content Bot
If you have a site with thousands of products, build niche sites or write content for a living, this plugin is a must.
It’s the alternative to GPT-3.
It uses GPT-3 but they act as intermediaries; in other words, you have to pay them to use their access.
You get 20 free requests, which is more than enough to run some initial tests and see how it works.
What’s more, when you ask it for content, it creates several variants so you can choose.
Bonus: AI-generated videos
We currently have a problem with the huge amount of content that has to be created for marketing strategies across many different social networks and platforms.
This can become a real headache if you want to have everything covered.
I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s something I’ll do soon: the option to create videos with artificial intelligence.
I found several websites that do this for a subscription at a reasonable price, so it could be a way to reach a much wider audience if we can’t get round to creating videos ourselves.
We’d also need to consider the brand image we want to project here, but the results are pretty good in some of the demos I was able to see.
Projects with a complex CMS also need their paths, metadata and technical maintenance reviewed. If your platform is Drupal, I’ve put together a specific guide to SEO for Drupal in Valencia.
