What it does

Floating chatbot available on every admin page, with 5 built-in personalities (System Expert, Copywriter, Sales, SEO, Support)
Scheduler — recurring jobs (daily, weekly, monthly) that generate articles and queue them for review

FAQ

Can I use my own Claude/OpenAI/Gemini API key?

Yes. GMCFreeAi does not proxy: it uses your key directly. You only pay the provider, not the plugin (the plugin is one-off or subscription). The key is encrypted at-rest in the Joomla DB.

What happens if the AI provider fails?

Provider fallback: 1 automatic retry on transient errors (timeout, HTTP 429, 5xx). If it persists, the job goes to "failed" state with exponential backoff (max 3 retries). Full trace in the audit log.

Does it work on Joomla 5?

No, currently Joomla 6.0+ only, due to the modern API stack (DI container, ExecuteTaskEvent, MVCComponent). Joomla 6 was released in 2025 and upgrading from 5 is straightforward. A Joomla 5 backport is on the roadmap if there is market demand.
