Website and Documentation Updates
Documentation Cleanup
The aiwebmaster.cloud website is being improved to provide clearer documentation for Getting Started, API Keys, OpenAI API, External Services, Security & Privacy, Troubleshooting, Support, Roadmap, AI Webmaster Operator and AI Webmaster vs AIWOS Cloud.
External Services Transparency
AI Webmaster may use external AI services when the site owner configures and authorizes them. The documentation should clearly explain what external services may be used, what data may be sent, when data is sent, who controls the API key and what sensitive data should not be sent to AI services.
API Key Documentation
API key documentation should explain what an API key is, why AI Webmaster uses the user’s own API key, where the key is entered, how to test, revoke or rotate it, common API errors, billing and quota issues.
WordPress.org Readiness
AI Webmaster is planned for future WordPress.org distribution. The website should not claim WordPress.org approval before confirmation.
Product Positioning Notes
AI Webmaster
AI Webmaster should be described as a free WordPress plugin that helps users build, expand and manage WordPress websites with AI-assisted workflows.
AIWOS Cloud
AIWOS Cloud should be described as a separate future cloud platform for autonomous website operation and should not be described as a paid unlock of AI Webmaster.
Release Notes Policy
Release notes should describe actual changes, avoid unsupported claims, separate released features from planned features, distinguish AI Webmaster features from AIWOS Cloud features and avoid claiming WordPress.org approval before confirmation.
