# Automations

> Content generation in the editor, alt text, and meta descriptions.

**Generatify > Settings > Automations**

Two kinds of automation live here. One writes whole posts on demand from the editor. The other quietly fills in fields you would otherwise leave empty.

## AI content automation

<ParamField path="AI Content Generation" type="toggle" default="off">
  Pro. Adds a **Generate with AI** button to the post editor. You describe the article you want, then choose which parts to generate: title, content, featured image, tags, and categories.

  Generated articles are linked to related posts you have already published, so a new piece arrives with internal links rather than as an orphan. Posts that already have a body but are missing tags or a featured image can be filled in without rewriting the text.
</ParamField>

By default this applies to posts. To extend it to other post types, use the [`generatify_ai_content_generation_post_types`](/generatify/reference/hooks#generatify_ai_content_generation_post_types) filter.

## AI technical SEO automation

### AI alt images

<ParamField path="AI Alt Images" type="toggle" default="off">
  Adds alt text to images that have an empty alt attribute, by analyzing the image and describing what is in it.

  This runs an image recognition model in the browser rather than calling an AI provider, so it is free and costs nothing per image.
</ParamField>

Alt text matters for screen reader users first and image search second. Both are served by a plain description of what the image shows.

<Note>
  Only empty alt attributes are filled. Alt text you wrote yourself is never replaced, so this is safe to enable on a site with a mixed history.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Recognition describes what is in the picture, not what the picture means in context. A photo of your founder becomes "a person in a suit". Review the results on important pages and write those by hand.
</Warning>

### AI meta descriptions

<ParamField path="AI Meta Descriptions" type="toggle" default="off">
  Pro. Reads a post's content and writes a meta description for posts that have none. Calls your connected AI provider, so each one costs a request.
</ParamField>

<Warning>
  If you already run an SEO plugin that generates meta descriptions, enabling this gives you two systems writing the same field. Decide which one owns it before turning this on.
</Warning>
