Providers and API keys¶
AcceGuru supports four AI providers. You use your own key and pay the provider directly. Your key is stored encrypted in the WordPress database and is sent only from your site to the selected AI provider. It is never sent to AcceGuru.
Supported providers¶
All four read images. Gemini is the default. Pick any one - you only pay that provider for usage.
| Provider | Models in the plugin | Where to get an API key |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Gemini) - default | Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite (default), Gemini 3.5 Flash | aistudio.google.com/app/apikey |
| OpenAI | GPT-4o mini (default), GPT-4o | platform.openai.com/api-keys |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Claude Haiku 4.5 (default), Claude Sonnet 4.6 | console.anthropic.com |
| Mistral | Mistral Small (latest, default), Mistral Medium (latest) | console.mistral.ai/api-keys |
The lighter default models are intended for lower cost and faster responses. Provider pricing, free tiers, supported models, and rate limits may change; check your provider before starting a large run.
Getting a key¶
- Create an account with your chosen provider.
- Generate an API key in their dashboard.
- Paste it into AcceGuru -> Settings -> AI Alt Text.
- The plugin verifies the key and shows a "Key works" status.
Security¶
Keys are stored encrypted in the WordPress options table and are never sent to AcceGuru. See Settings and security.
