Kagivo generates scheduled blog posts using AI providers you choose and control. Connect your own API key from OpenAI (Free) or additional AI providers available in Kagivo Pro — your keys stay on your server, encrypted at rest, never sent to Kagivo or Tek-247.

Pro plan adds:
Kagivo connects to external AI services using your own API keys. No requests are made unless you have configured an API key and a campaign is running (scheduled or manually triggered). Kagivo does not silently fall back to another provider if your configured provider is unavailable or unconfigured.
OpenAI (Free and Pro)
Kagivo uses the OpenAI API to generate article content. When a campaign runs, Kagivo sends a request to OpenAI that may include the campaign subject, article topic, campaign keywords, brand voice instructions (Pro), recent topic context, and generation settings such as model and word count. The generated content is returned from OpenAI to your server. Your API key is transmitted in each request to OpenAI for authentication.
Kagivo Pro also uses the OpenAI image generation API (gpt-image-1) to create featured images when a campaign has image generation enabled and the OpenAI provider is selected.
Freemius (Licensing)
Kagivo includes the Freemius SDK to provide licensing, account management, and the Free Pro upgrade path. When the plugin is first activated, Freemius presents an opt-in dialog asking whether you agree to share basic diagnostic information (site URL, WordPress version, plugin version, PHP version, and admin email address). Sharing this information is optional and you may decline. If you opt in, this information is sent to Freemius servers periodically. Regardless of your opt-in choice, Freemius communicates with its servers for license validation when a Pro license is activated.
