It provides a complete free workflow for: * Adding unlimited RSS/Atom feeds and WordPress sites with a public REST posts endpoint. * Manually refreshing sources and monitoring basic source health. * Reviewing newly discovered items in an editorial inbox. * Duplicate-safe discovery using normalized source links. * Creating WordPress drafts manually from selected feed/REST items. * Optional source attribution on created drafts. * Arabic-ready, RTL/LTR-compatible WordPress administration. Lite deliberately does not crawl arbitrary HTML pages and does not include AI rewriting, automated publishing, semantic story intelligence, multi-source intelligence, background queues, historical crawling, self-healing, SEO automation, licensing, or a commercial updater. Those capabilities belong to a separate commercial plugin, PressAI Engine Pro. No Pro implementation is included, locked, downloaded, or installed by Lite. #### External requests The plugin makes outbound HTTP requests only to source URLs that an administrator explicitly adds. These requests are necessary to verify and read the configured RSS/Atom feed or WordPress REST posts endpoint. The plugin does not send site data, usage analytics, article data, or personal data to PressAI servers. #### Source code and build notes All JavaScript and CSS shipped with PressAI Engine Lite is human-readable source and is loaded directly from the `assets/` directory. No minification, bundling, transpilation, npm, webpack, or other build step is required to reproduce the distributed assets. The JavaScript executed by the plugin is the readable `assets/admin.js` file included in this package. ### Privacy PressAI Engine Lite stores configured source URLs and discovered article metadata in the local WordPress database. It makes requests only to sources configured by an administrator. It does not transmit this data to PressAI or analytics services. ## Installation 1. Upload the `pressai-engine-lite` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate PressAI Engine Lite. 3. Open PressAI Lite > Sources. 4. Add a WordPress site URL or direct RSS/Atom feed URL. 5. Refresh the source and review discovered items in Editorial Inbox. ## FAQ ### Does Lite require an account or API key? No. Lite does not require a PressAI account, license key, or AI provider key. ### Does Lite scrape arbitrary websites? No. Lite reads RSS/Atom feeds and public WordPress REST posts endpoints only. For non-WordPress sites, provide a direct RSS/Atom feed URL. ### Does Lite publish automatically? No. Creating a WordPress draft is always a manual administrator action in Lite. ### Is PressAI Engine Pro included but disabled? No. Pro is a separate commercial plugin with separate code. Lite contains no disabled premium implementation. ### Are there artificial source or article quotas? No. Lite is limited by capability, not by a source-count timer or article quota. ### Does the plugin collect telemetry? No. Lite does not send usage analytics or site data to PressAI. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3029fbeca8bd1bd8f0ed6f3a9640f81af64c1bf921de94a567348d507df338eb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[An Impressive AI-Powered Content Solution for WordPress! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-impressive-ai-powered-content-solution-for-wordpress-%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90/)󠁿 [goldennews](https://profiles.wordpress.org/goldennews/) Oktabr 14, 2026 What makes this plugin stand out is its focus on simplicity, useful AI-powered features, and a user-friendly experience without unnecessary complexity.
