-
Yes. The plugin generates AI-created featured images directly from the post editor. Images are automatically uploaded to the WordPress Media Library and set as the post’s featured image. You can customize the image prompt template, choose image sizes (square, landscape, or portrait), and set quality levels. The image generation uses OpenAI’s gpt-image-1 model and automatically adds “no text in images” to prompts for cleaner results.
-
The accessibility checker performs automated WCAG 2.1 compliance audits on any page. It checks for missing image alt text, improperly labeled form fields, broken heading hierarchy, skip navigation links, iframe title attributes, button accessible names, positive tabindex issues, and basic color contrast. Results are stored and actionable, helping you identify and fix accessibility barriers so your site is usable by everyone, including visitors using screen readers and assistive technology.
-
Yes. JakBot’s Intelligent Lead Response feature hooks directly into Contact Form 7. When a visitor submits a CF7 form, JakBot captures the submission, searches your indexed content for relevant information, and generates a personalized AI email response. You can map specific forms to specific bots, configure auto-send vs. draft mode, set daily send limits, and customize the response prompt and email disclaimer.
-
Yes. JakBot follows WordPress security best practices throughout:
Nonce verification — Every AJAX request is verified with a WordPress nonce to prevent cross-site request forgery.
Prepared statements — All database queries use
$wpdb->prepare()to prevent SQL injection.Capability checks — Admin-only features require the
manage_optionscapability.Input sanitization and output escaping — All user input is sanitized and all output is escaped using WordPress functions.
API key encryption — Jay’s Post Amplifier encrypts all API keys with AES-256-CBC using WordPress salts.
SSRF protection — External link checking skips private/reserved IP ranges.
-
Yes. JakBot supports multiple bots on a single WordPress installation. Each bot can have its own system prompt, personality, template design, search mode, similarity threshold, and feature configuration. For example, you could have a general FAQ bot on your homepage and a specialized scheduling bot on your contact page. Each bot is placed using the
shortcode with its unique bot ID. -
Yes. JakBot is designed to be optimized post-deployment. You can update the system prompt to refine the bot’s personality and responses, adjust the search mode and similarity threshold to improve answer quality, add or update indexed content as your business evolves, and enable additional features like scheduling or Conversation Contracts at any time. The JakBot team is available to help with ongoing adjustments.
-
The Article Ideas system lets you generate batches of blog post ideas (1-10 at a time) from a topic, target audience, and writing tone. There’s also a “random idea” mode that pulls from your existing WordPress categories or tags for inspiration. Each idea includes a title, description, key talking points, and suggested word count. Ideas are stored in a dedicated management page where you can track their status, edit them, or send them through the article generation pipeline.
-
Yes. The broken link checker scans your site for dead internal and external links. It automatically queues links for checking when posts are saved or updated, and can run scheduled scans daily, weekly, or monthly. The admin dashboard shows a filterable table with HTTP status codes, link type (internal vs external), and per-link actions to dismiss, recheck, or edit the source post. You can also receive email notifications when broken links are found.
-
Yes. The WebP converter automatically converts JPEG and PNG images to WebP format when they are uploaded to the media library. It also includes a bulk conversion tool to convert your entire existing library. Original files are preserved alongside the WebP versions, and there’s an optional auto-serve feature that automatically swaps image URLs to the WebP version when it exists. You can configure quality (default 80), maximum dimensions, and choose which image sizes to convert. The converter works with both GD and Imagick libraries.
-
Yes. All JakBot chat templates are responsive and work on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. The chat widget adapts to the screen size automatically. Jay’s SEO Checklist also tests mobile performance specifically through its PageSpeed Insights integration, and Jay’s Post Amplifier’s admin interface is fully mobile-responsive.
-
JakBot supports two AI providers: Google Gemini and OpenAI. Both are fully functional for chat responses and embedding generation. The active provider is configured per-bot through the admin interface. Gemini uses the gemini-2.5-flash model by default (with 2.5-pro also available), and OpenAI supports configurable chat models with text-embedding-3-small for embeddings. You can switch providers at any time, but the embedding index must be rebuilt when changing providers since each produces vectors in a different format.
