AI Settings

The AI Settings page allows you to enable and configure all AI-powered features of All DashAI WP.

All DashAI WP uses a BYOK / BYOKEY (Bring Your Own OpenAI Key) model for both FREE and PRO plans.
This means you must provide your own OpenAI API key to activate AI summaries, insights, and recommendations across the dashboard.

All DashAI WP never uses a shared or third-party OpenAI key on your behalf.
In all cases, the plugin only uses the OpenAI API key you configure.

How AI Works by Plan (FREE vs PRO)

FREE Plan

  • AI requests are sent directly from your WordPress server to OpenAI

  • Uses your own OpenAI API key

  • Supports streaming directly from OpenAI (when available)

PRO Plan

  • AI requests still use your own OpenAI API key

  • Streaming responses are routed first through the All DashAI Cloud proxy (api.alldashai.com) for optimized delivery

  • If the proxy is unavailable, the plugin automatically falls back to direct OpenAI streaming or standard responses

At no point does All DashAI WP replace, mask, or reuse your OpenAI key.

Where AI Is Used

AI is available across the All DashAI WP dashboard, depending on your plan:

System Health

  • FREE & PRO

  • Analyze WordPress, PHP, MySQL, and server configuration

  • Receive AI-powered recommendations for performance, stability, and security

Logs

  • FREE & PRO

  • Understand errors, warnings, stack traces, and possible fixes directly from your WordPress logs

Repository (GitHub / Bitbucket)

  • PRO only

  • Summarize commits, explain code changes, and highlight key development insights

Jira

  • PRO only

  • Summarize issues, clarify requirements, surface risks, and suggest next actions

Analytics

  • FREE

    • Access dashboards and core traffic metrics (no AI summaries)

  • PRO

    • AI-powered traffic summaries

    • Intelligent explanations of analytics data

    • Custom date ranges and advanced filters

Once AI is enabled and a valid key is saved, AI features become active globally according to your plan.

Requirements

To use AI features:

  1. Enable the AI checkbox

  2. Enter a valid OpenAI API key

  3. Save the settings

Without a valid API key, all AI features remain disabled, regardless of plan.

Where to Get Your OpenAI API Key

You can generate an API key directly from your OpenAI account:

  1. Visit the OpenAI API Keys page
    https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

  2. Click Create new secret key

  3. Copy the generated key

  4. Paste it into the OpenAI API Key field in All DashAI WP

Your OpenAI account must have an active billing method to process requests.

Key Storage and Security

Your OpenAI API key is stored:

  • Locally inside your WordPress installation

  • Encrypted using AES-256-CBC

  • Bound to your WordPress salts (AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY)

If these salts change, you will be asked to re-enter your key to ensure it cannot be decrypted outside your installation.

Network Behavior by Plan

  • FREE: Requests go directly from your server to OpenAI

  • PRO: Streaming requests go through the All DashAI Cloud proxy, with automatic fallback to direct OpenAI

All DashAI WP does not add tracking around your API key and uses it exclusively to communicate with OpenAI on your behalf.

AI Response Language (PRO Only)

PRO users can select the output language for all AI-generated content across:

  • System

  • Logs

  • Repository

  • Jira

  • Analytics

Once selected, AI responses automatically adapt to the chosen language.

The FREE version always responds in English.

Streaming Mode (How AI Responses Are Delivered)

All DashAI WP supports AI Streaming, allowing responses to appear progressively as they are generated.
This provides a faster and more natural experience for long explanations and summaries.

Streaming by Plan

  • FREE: Streaming directly from OpenAI using your BYOKEY

  • PRO: Streaming via All DashAI Cloud proxy first, with automatic fallback to direct OpenAI

Streaming works only when:

  • Your hosting environment supports Server-Sent Events (SSE) and long-running HTTP connections

  • A valid OpenAI API key is configured

If streaming is not available, the plugin automatically falls back to non-streaming mode, displaying the full response once processing is complete.

AI Model and Fallback Behavior

All DashAI WP uses a fixed OpenAI model internally.
There is no model selector in the interface.

If OpenAI returns a model-related error (such as unavailable, deprecated, or overloaded), the plugin automatically switches to an internal fallback model defined in the code.
This process is fully automatic and requires no user action.

End-to-End Workflow

  1. You enable AI and save your OpenAI API key

  2. When you trigger an AI action (System, Logs, Repository, Jira, or Analytics):

    • Relevant context is collected

    • A specialized prompt is generated

    • The request is sent using your OpenAI API key:

      • FREE: Directly to OpenAI

      • PRO: Via All DashAI Cloud proxy first, with automatic fallback

  3. The AI response is streamed or returned to your dashboard and rendered in the appropriate interface

Troubleshooting

Invalid API Key

  • Ensure your OpenAI billing is active

  • Regenerate your key and update it in All DashAI WP

Streaming Not Working

  • Your hosting provider may block SSE or long-running connections

  • Disable streaming or rely on non-streaming mode

Decryption Error

  • WordPress salts have changed

  • Re-enter your OpenAI API key to re-encrypt it

PRO Features Not Available

  • Confirm your site is connected to a valid PRO license

  • Check the License section inside All DashAI WP
