Content creation today is fragmented. You write in WordPress, jump to an AI tool to rewrite a paragraph, open another service to generate an image, and maybe a third to handle video or accessibility. Every platform switch costs time, breaks your focus, and slowly chips away at your workflow.

Cortex AI exists to fix that. At Fhoke, we’ve been busy creating a new app to help our clients solve all those issues. It brings multi-provider AI capabilities directly into WordPress, where your content already lives. We’re not just a web design agency, we’re clever folk as well.

What to Know (Quick Overview)

  • Cortex AI brings multi-provider AI directly into WordPress, eliminating the need to jump between external tools for writing, images, video, and accessibility.
  • It supports multiple AI providers (including OpenAI, Google Gemini, Stability AI, and Unsplash), letting users choose the best model for each task with no lock-in.
  • AI tools work everywhere content lives — the Block Editor, ACF fields, WooCommerce product descriptions, and the Media Library — with context-aware outputs.
  • Accessibility, automation, and performance are built in, including automatic alt text generation, background processing, and a modern, scalable tech stack.

One Plugin. Multiple AI Providers.

Rather than forcing you into a single AI provider, Cortex AI supports multiple services, including OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Stability AI (with more to come as they’re requested). You can mix and match providers depending on the task. Use Gemini for text generation, DALL-E or Stability for images, or OpenAI’s latest models for advanced transformations.

There’s no lock-in and no “one size fits all” approach. As providers evolve, your options stay open.

Text Transformation, Everywhere You Write

Cortex AI isn’t limited to a single editor panel or sidebar. It works directly where you’re already writing and editing content.

You get eight text actions:

  • Rewrite
  • Expand
  • Condense
  • Summarise
  • Professional
  • Personal
  • Generate Title
  • Generate Excerpt

These actions are available across the WordPress Block Editor, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), and WooCommerce product descriptions. Whether you’re refining a paragraph, tightening up marketing copy, or generating structured product content, Cortex AI is right there. No copy-paste required.

Transformations are context-aware. Cortex AI understands the surrounding content, page metadata, and categories, producing results that fit the page instead of sounding generic. You can also define brand voice rules and stop words to keep outputs consistent across your site.

A Full Media Generation Suite Inside WordPress

Cortex AI includes a media generation toolkit built directly into the WordPress Media Library.

You can generate AI images using multiple providers, with control over dimensions, aspect ratios, and output styles. Generated assets behave like native media. They’re usable anywhere WordPress expects an image.

For more advanced workflows, Cortex AI also supports AI video generation via OpenAI Sora and Google Gemini Veo. Video tasks run asynchronously in the background, so you can continue working while assets are processed.

Stock imagery is covered, too. Cortex AI integrates Unsplash search directly into the Media Library, complete with proper attribution, making it easy to find high-quality visuals without leaving WordPress.

Accessibility and Automation, Built In

Accessibility isn’t an afterthought in Cortex AI. It’s a first-class feature.

Automatic alt text generation runs when images are uploaded, so new content is accessible by default. You can also batch-process existing media libraries to retrofit alt text across older content.

Cortex AI uses WP-Cron for background processing, intelligently retries failed tasks, and handles long-running jobs without blocking the editor.

What Makes Cortex AI Different

Cortex AI isn’t another AI wrapper plugin; it’s built for real WordPress workflows, designed to boost productivity:

  • Multi-surface integration: Block Editor, ACF, WooCommerce, and the Media Library all work together.
  • Context awareness: Outputs match page structure, not isolated prompts.
  • Provider flexibility: Choose the right AI for each task, not just the one you’re locked into.
  • WordPress-native design: Cortex AI feels like part of WordPress, not an external tool bolted on.

Real-World Use Cases

Cortex AI adapts to how WordPress is actually used:

  • Content creators can rewrite paragraphs, generate better headlines, and create visuals without leaving the editor.
  • E-commerce teams can improve WooCommerce product descriptions, generate consistent marketing copy, and produce on-brand imagery at scale.
  • Accessibility-focused sites can automate alt text creation across entire media libraries, improving compliance and usability with minimal effort.
  • Multi-author publications can enforce a consistent brand voice, regardless of who’s writing the content.

Built on a Modern, Reliable Stack

Cortex AI is built with a modern, performance-focused stack:

  • PHP 8.2+
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Vite

Assets are loaded conditionally to keep the admin fast, API usage is optimised to control costs, and error handling keeps things reliable at scale. The provider architecture is extensible, making it straightforward to add new AI services in the future.

Plans to suit your business

Simple pricing. Powerful AI. No usage lock-in.

  1. Single Site: £79 Per Year
  2. 5x Websites: £149 Per Year
  3. Unlimtied: £349 Per year

*WP Multi-site: Please ask for pricing
**AI usage costs: Cortex AI does not include AI usage or credits in the licence price. Instead, you connect your own API keys from providers such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Stability AI, giving you full control over which services you use and how much you spend. This keeps pricing transparent, avoids usage caps, and ensures you only pay providers directly for the AI features you actually use.

Getting Started

Getting started with Cortex AI is simple. Install the plugin, add your API keys, choose your preferred providers, and start creating. Documentation and guides are available.

Everything is designed to get out of your way so you can focus on creating content quickly.

Cortex AI is built for creators, developers, and teams who want AI to improve WordPress, not complicate it.

Note: Cortex is currently in private beta for use by our clients, with a full release coming later this year.
