How to Use WP Composer for AI-Powered Content Creation on WordPress

With the power of AI, you can speed up the entire content creation process more easily, from website copy, to articles, and even images. Using WP Composer for AI-powered content creation is a straightforward plugin to begin implementing AI on your site – without the need to learn complex tools.

In this article, you’ll learn how you can use this plugin to create AI-powered content you can use across your site. Throughout, we’ll discuss what content that uses AI can do, how it can improve your content, and more.

What AI-Powered Content Is

First let’s take a quick look at what AI-powered content is. Compared to creating content the traditional way, AI content uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help you create a larger volume of high-quality content. 

It relies on ‘generative AI’, which relies on human prompting – i.e., your own input – to create that content. From there, it takes the prompt and creates new content using its existing corpus of data and knowledge. 

In general, AI has the ability to help you create unique text and image content, generate new ideas, and improve your overall workflows. 

How AI Improves the Content Creation Process

There’s no getting around that when it comes to building your website, you need a lot of content. This includes copy for a number of areas:

• Copy for every page of your site, in various amounts
• A near-endless variety of blog posts
• Images for both your pages and posts

On paper, it might not seem like a lot. However, writing all of this takes a very long time (or money if you’re outsourcing) – and that’s assuming you have the writing skills. With the help of AI-powered content, you can save time through generating the content you desire at the push of a button.

We’re in the early stages of AI and Large Language Model (LLM) development, which means there will be inconsistencies in content quality. However, with the right prompts, you can use the AI content as a starting point for expansion. Also, instead of being the writer and editor, you get to the editing stage faster, which is more efficient. Plus, you’ll get better and faster at using AI over time.

How to Use WP Composer to Create AI-Powered Content (In 3 Steps)

There are a lot of AI tools on the market, but only a few that offer WordPress integration. With the WP Composer page builder plugin, you can add AI content to your site as you build, instead of switching between multiple tools or browser tabs.

For more on what this plugin can do for your site, check out our in-depth review. In the meantime, let’s go through how to use WP Composer for AI-powered content creation.

1. Activate the AI Feature

Before using WP Composer, you’ll need to install and activate the plugin. We’ll be using the pro version for the tutorial below, which has a different installation process. However, the free version also includes AI content creation functionality.

Your first task is to activate the AI feature. To do so, open the page or post you want to edit, add a Text Block, and click the Edit icon:

Next, click the small AI icon inside the editing menu. From here, hit the Connect button inside the Unlock the Power of WP Composer AI pop-up window:

This brings up a modal dialog asking you to log in to your WP Composer account. If you need to, you can create one here too:

As a bonus, you get 100 free image credits you can use to generate AI images once you create an account and connect your website. This will come in handy next.

2. Use the WP Composer AI-Powered Content Creation Tool to Write Your Copy

After you’ve activated the AI functionality, you can begin to create AI content through adding a Text Block to a post and page, then choosing the Edit button as before. Within the Text Block option, click the AI icon to bring up a dedicated editor:

WP Composer lets you completely rewrite text while keeping the sentiment and overall message the same. You’re able to change the text length, fix spelling and grammtical errors, and even translate the content.

However, the most important aspect for success with this tool will be your prompt. Let’s talk about this quickly.

Using Prompts with the WP Composer AI-Powered Content Creation Tool

What you feed the AI will have a direct impact on the quality of the end result you see. This could be exactly what you want to see, or completely unusable. As such, your prompt is the most important element of using the AI creator. With that said, here are some tips for creating AI prompts:

• Keep them simple and concise, much like giving clear instructions or writing a recipe.
• Give the tool enough context so it can determine what kind of content you want to produce. Don’t expect the AI to guess what you want – offer explicit clarity.
• Only include a single end goal at a time. For article writing, you can break it down section by section to get the best results.

For example, a prompt that includes all of these points could doesn’t have to be lengthy or complex:

Write a compelling introduction to an article about SEO best practices. Make it emotional and hook the reader. It should be about 250 words. 

You could also generate copy for content that isn’t a typical blog post:

Write a short 100-word bio for the CEO of a biotech company. Include his experience of over 50 years in the industry.

With this in mind, click the New Prompt button in the AI pop-up, enter yours, then click to generate content:

Once the AI creates your content, you can use it as-is or experiment with other options, such as changing the tone or rewriting the text. After you click the Use text button, you can look to generating images for your content.

Step 3. Use the AI feature to generate images

WP Composer can also generate images, which is an exciting feature. To use it, simply add an Image block to your page and populate it. 

Once you click on the image, a settings menu will appear. As with text, if you click the AI button, you’ll launch the AI image generation tool.

The image size is self-explanatory, but the real magic happens with your image prompt and style:

For image style, simply click on a thumbnail that matches the result you’re looking for:

While the prompt advice from earlier is applicable here, consider the following to nail the exact image you want. 

• Note whether you want a photo, illustration, graphic, or other style.
• Look to describe the subject of the image in detail.
• Include any background details such as an office setting, park, or a city street.
• Add a composition style, such as dark, warm, inviting, or futuristic.

Also, ensure you ‘front-load’ the most important details of your image within your prompt. In our tests, the tool gave us better results doing this.

For example, take an agency that wants to create an illustration to represent your team at work. You prompt could be, “An illustration of people working in an office in a conference room”:

A cool thing about AI image generation is that you can iterate quickly. For example, if you don’t like the color scheme of the first images, you can write a modified prompt. Once you have an image you like, click on it to use it within your content.

That’s a wrap!

Using WP Composer for AI-powered content creation is an excellent way to harness the true power of AI and LLMs within WordPress. Now, you don’t have to spend time, money, and effort to create content from scratch, or scour the web to find the ideal image for your needs.

While there are many tools on the market, WP Composer brings this power directly to WordPress. Its inline dialog boxes mean you can have a more efficient workflow and produce more content – all from within the WordPress dashboard.
