AltoSum
A Really Useful WordPress plugin
TL;DR summaries & key takeaways, written for you.
AltoSum reads your post and adds a concise AI summary with key-takeaway bullets: great for readers in a hurry, and for the AI search engines that quote summaries. Working the moment you activate it. No API key. No account. No setup.
Now live and free on WordPress.org.
What it does
Turn any long post into a quick-read summary, automatically or with one click.
Concise summary
A clear two-to-three sentence TL;DR at the top of your post, so readers get the gist instantly.
Key takeaways
Optional bullet-point takeaways that capture the main points, and that AI search engines love to surface.
Your placement
Auto-insert above or below posts, or drop it anywhere with the [altosum] shortcode. The box heading is yours to set.
No API key. We host the AI.
Every other AI summary plugin makes you sign up for an AI provider, generate your own API key, and pay them separately. AltoSum doesn't. The AI runs on our backend, so it works the instant you activate the plugin: nothing to configure, nothing extra to pay for. That's the whole point.
