Why Build AI Tools?
Here’s why creating and selling AI tools is such a game changer:
Use AI to generate content, titles, SEO assets, or even full articles
Sell tools as digital products or charge monthly access
Offer services (e.g., “Hashtag Generator Tool for Reels”)
Boost website engagement with branded, useful utilities
And yes—you can create these tools with just ChatGPT + Gemini + WordPress.
Example 1: Create a Blog Title Generator Tool
Tools Used:
- Gemini API (Free or Pro)
- WordPress + Custom PHP Plugin
- JavaScript + CSS for interactivity and styling
What It Does:
Visitors type in a topic, hit generate, and receive 5 engaging blog title ideas in seconds.
Prompt Example:
“Generate 5 catchy blog titles for the topic: {user input}”
Live Result: This tool can be deployed on any WordPress page via shortcode.
Step-by-Step: Building the AI Tool
1. Set Up the Plugin File Structure
Download a simple plugin boilerplate or use the one from our GitHub.
Files include:
plugin-name.phpscript.jsstyle.cssloader.gif(optional for UX)
2. PHP File Configuration
Set up your Gemini API key, enqueue scripts/styles, and register the shortcode.
3. JavaScript File Logic
Use fetch() to send the user’s prompt to the Gemini endpoint and return a list of titles or hashtags.
4. CSS Styling
Add minimal styling for mobile responsiveness and clean UI.
Example 2: Turn It Into a Hashtag Generator
Now, modify your prompt and PHP details:
Prompt:
“Generate 10 trending hashtags for the topic: {user input}”
New Tool Name: Hashtag Generator
Use the same code base. Just change the prompt, shortcode label, and endpoint.
Example 3: YouTube Video Title Generator
Prompt:
“Generate 5 high-engagement YouTube video titles for the keyword: {user input}”
Add this tool to your YouTube marketing services or content strategy site.
Example 4: SEO Meta Description Generator
Prompt:
“Write a 160-character SEO meta description for this page topic: {user input}”
Use Case: Help clients quickly generate optimized SEO snippets.
Example 5: Social Media Caption Creator
Prompt:
“Create a fun, engaging Instagram caption for a post about: {user input}”
Clients in fitness, fashion, or food can benefit immensely from a niche content generator.
