Description
GV Drafts Generator with Gemini is an editorial automation plugin for publishers who want structured, reviewable AI-assisted drafts instead of generic bulk content.
The free plugin is complete and usable without a paid add-on. It can rotate through multiple curriculum or niche plans, create original titles and topics, research sources, generate SEO metadata, add references, create relevant images, and save posts as drafts, pending review, or published posts.
Highlights
- Multiple independent topic and curriculum plans.
- Per-topic word count, article count, interval, image count, category, and keyword seeds.
- Automatic topic and title selection that follows a progressive series.
- Draft-first workflow with optional pending-review or automatic publishing.
- Google Search research through supported Gemini models.
- References and editor fact-check notes.
- Primary and related SEO keywords, excerpts, tags, and meta descriptions.
- Yoast SEO and Rank Math metadata compatibility.
- Gemini image generation with Media Library upload, featured images, inline images, and alt text.
- Duplicate-title and near-duplicate safeguards.
- Scheduler status, 14-day health view, metrics, and activity logs.
- No custom visitor tracking or analytics sent to the plugin author.
Bring your own Gemini key
The plugin calls Google directly from your WordPress server. API usage may be free or paid according to your Google project, model, quota, and current Gemini API pricing.
For strongest credential protection, define GOOGLE_API_KEY (preferred) or GEMINI_API_KEY in wp-config.php or as a server environment variable. You may alternatively save a key in the plugin settings. The password field never displays the stored value, and the API screen can test access without revealing it.
Optional premium edition
GV Drafts Generator with Gemini Premium is a GPL premium build delivered through Freemius. It adds reusable automatic topic rules, deeper article and image instructions, source targets, and editor email notifications. The free plugin does not expire and is not trialware. If a paid subscription expires, the installed GPL code continues working; updates and support require renewal.
External services
This plugin connects to the Google Gemini API when an administrator tests a key, requests generation, or enables scheduled generation.
Data sent can include the configured curriculum or topic, article number, target length, language, audience, voice, editorial rules, keyword seeds, recent generated titles, article title and excerpt for image creation, and image style. This data is necessary to generate the requested article or image. The plugin does not send visitor information or telemetry to the plugin author.

The plugin bundles the Freemius SDK for optional opt-in, licensing, account management, checkout, premium delivery, updates, and support. If an administrator opts in or activates a paid license, Freemius can process the site URL, WordPress and PHP versions, plugin version, administrator contact details, license state, and purchase information. Visitor content is not sent to Freemius by this plugin. Free users may skip the optional connection.

Installation
- Install and activate GV Drafts Generator with Gemini.
- Open GV Drafts > API Keys and configure your Google Gemini API key.
- Open GV Drafts > Settings and review the editorial, research, image, and publishing options.
- Configure one or more curriculum lines under Content Schedule.
- Use Quick Generate for a draft test before enabling scheduled publishing.
Each publishing-plan line uses:
Curriculum | target words | articles per run | hours | images | category | optional keyword seeds
Example:
Physics: mechanics through quantum theory | 1600 | 1 | 72 | 1 | Physics | mechanics, physics lessons
WordPress Cron is traffic-driven. For reliable timing on a low-traffic site, configure the host to invoke wp-cron.php regularly.
FAQ
-
Does the plugin guarantee factual accuracy?
-
No. It requests research and references, rejects malformed output, and stores editor notes, but AI can still be wrong. Review every important claim and source before publication.
-
Does it guarantee search rankings?
-
No. The plugin creates reader-focused metadata and structure. Search performance depends on usefulness, originality, authority, technical SEO, competition, and many other factors.
-
Can it publish automatically?
-
Yes, but Draft is the default and recommended status until you trust your configuration and review process.
-
Are images free?
-
Not necessarily. Image availability and cost depend on the selected Gemini model and your Google API plan.
-
What happens when the API key is removed?
-
Existing posts remain. New generation stops until a valid key is configured.
