SmartCloud AI-Kit – On-Device AI Tools
AI-Kit Settings screen
AI-Kit brings practical AI helpers to WordPress while keeping privacy first.
AI-Kit is part of the WP Suite product family by Smart Cloud Solutions, Inc. WP Suite keeps WordPress as the CMS and editing layer, while optional connected features can extend selected workflows into modular AWS-backed services for identity, AI, APIs, workflows, protected routes, and static delivery. The free AI-Kit features described here do not require a WP Suite account, subscription, or AWS backend unless you explicitly configure an external service or upgrade-only backend feature.
Free (local-only) mode
AI-Kit uses Chrome’s built-in on-device AI capabilities (when available). In this mode, content is processed locally in the browser.

Free and Premium Usage Notice
AI-Kit works in Free mode without registration or subscription, using local-only (on-device) AI inside supported desktop Chrome browsers.
Pro features are optional and become available after connecting your WordPress site to a WP Suite workspace:
* AI-Kit Chatbot (on-site widget + customizable settings + Preview)
* Front-end AI-Kit Feature Gutenberg block
* Front-end smartcloud- shortcode
* Optional backend-only / backend-fallback modes (when on-device AI is unavailable or when you explicitly choose backend processing)
When backend is used, requests go to an API endpoint you configure — typically an AWS API deployed into your own AWS account using the “wpsuite-ai-kit” SAR template.
