Add a working AI tool to your site with a shortcode. Your visitors use it right on your page — no account needed on their side.

== Description ==

Put a real, working AI tool on your WordPress site with one shortcode.

Your visitors type into it and get output without leaving your page and without
creating an account. You keep your layout; the tool runs on AI Central Tools'
infrastructure, so there is nothing for you to host, update or patch.

**Example**

`[aict_embed slug="blog-post-generator"]`

**Features**

* Simple shortcode — works in the block editor, classic editor, or a Shortcode block
* Choose which tool to show per placement
* Site-wide embed token, overridable per shortcode
* Configurable height
* Lazy-loaded iframe, so it does not slow down the rest of your page
* No JavaScript added to your front end, no tracking scripts, no dependencies

== External service disclosure ==

This plugin displays AI tools hosted by **AI Central Tools**
(https://aicentraltools.com), a third-party service. It is required for the
plugin to do anything: the shortcode renders an iframe pointing at that service,
and your visitors' input is processed there.

* Service: AI Central Tools — https://aicentraltools.com
* Get an embed token (free plan available): https://aicentraltools.com/embed-widget/
* Terms of service: https://aicentraltools.com/terms/
* Privacy policy: https://aicentraltools.com/privacy-policy/

The plugin sends no data to the service by itself. Data is only exchanged when a
visitor interacts with the embedded tool, in which case their input is submitted
to AI Central Tools to produce the output. No code is loaded or executed from
the remote service — the embed is an iframe, which is content.

Free-plan embeds display a small "Powered by AI Central Tools" line. Paid plans
can remove it.

== Installation ==

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Create a free account at https://aicentraltools.com/ and copy your embed token.
3. Go to **Settings → AICT Embed** and paste the token.
4. Add `[aict_embed slug="blog-post-generator"]` to any post or page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do my visitors need an account? =

No. Anyone who lands on your page can run the tool straight away, with the same
free daily allowance a visitor gets on our site. Your account is never charged
for their runs, and each embed serves up to 100 runs a day.

= Does it cost anything? =

The free plan includes one embed, and free embeds carry a small "Powered by AI
Central Tools" line. Every paid plan lets you remove that line. More embeds come
with Creator (2), Business (5) and Agency (25). Starter and Pro include one,
like the free plan.

= Which tools can I embed? =

Any tool a visitor can run on aicentraltools.com without an account. Pick it
with the shortcode's `slug`. Tools that need a paid plan, a file upload, or that
make images or audio cannot run in an embed.

= Can I use more than one on a page? =

Yes. Each shortcode renders its own independent embed.

= Does it slow my site down? =

The iframe is lazy-loaded and the plugin adds no front-end JavaScript or CSS.
