WP AI Explainer turns confusing words into instant tooltips, powered by OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini. Visitors highlight any text on your site and get an instant AI-generated explanation, no page reload, no extra clicks. Free version supports OpenAI. Pro adds Claude and Gemini, pre-scanning of posts, and an AI Terms glossary builder. Works with any theme, installs in five minutes. Built for bloggers, educators, legal/medical sites, and anyone whose content makes readers reach for Google.
I built WP AI Explainer because I kept watching friends and family bail out of articles the moment they hit a word they didn't know. Glossaries are dead links. ChatGPT in another tab breaks flow. I wanted something where you highlight a word and the explanation just appears like a Kindle dictionary, but for anything, anywhere on a WordPress site.
A few things I'm proud of:
• It works with any theme so no shortcodes, no rebuilds
• You bring your own API key, so costs stay yours and predictable
• Hard usage caps mean a viral post can't run up a £500 bill overnight
• Free version is genuinely useful; pro adds Claude/Gemini, bulk scanning, and a glossary builder
Would love feedback on the tooltip UX, the onboarding flow, or anything that feels off.
