Transform passive readers into engaged users with customizable AI summary buttons.
Post Digest adds interactive "Summarize with ChatGPT" buttons to your WordPress posts. But here's what makes it special: readers can customize the AI prompt right on your page before clicking. This gives you invaluable insights into what your audience actually cares about!
Traditional analytics tell you what people read. Post Digest tells you what questions they're asking about your content. See which topics spark curiosity, what pain points need addressing, and how readers want information presented.
Simply search for "Post Digest" in the block inserter. The block integrates seamlessly with WordPress's native editor experience.
As the author, you set the default instructions for ChatGPT. Want bullet points? A technical summary? Explain it for beginners? You control the template. The preview shows exactly how the button will appear on your published post.
What you see:
- ✅ Real-time preview of the prompt
- ✅ Live URL generation as you type
- ✅ Clean, intuitive interface
This is what your readers see - an elegant, editable prompt interface. They can:
- ✏️ Customize the instructions to their specific needs
- 🎯 Ask specific questions about your content
- 🚀 Click once to get AI-powered insights
Example: A reader might change "give me a summary" to "explain this for a 12-year-old" or "focus on the technical implementation details."
This customization data is GOLD - it reveals exactly what information gaps exist in your content!
One click and boom! ChatGPT opens with the fully customized prompt pre-filled. Your reader gets instant, AI-powered insights about your post.
The prompt includes:
- 📄 Your post title
- 🔗 Full URL to the article
- ✨ Customized instructions (either yours or reader-modified)
Track engagement in the WordPress Comments section:
- 📊 See all button clicks grouped by post
- 💡 Discover which prompt variations readers prefer
- 🎯 Identify content gaps and reader questions
- 🔒 All data anonymized for GDPR compliance
Example insights:
- "15 readers asked to explain this 'for beginners'" → Time to simplify!
- "8 readers wanted 'technical details only'" → Maybe add an advanced section?
- "Readers keep asking about X" → Create a dedicated post about X!
