Generate SEO-ready meta descriptions in seconds
Writing meta descriptions for every article on your Joomla site takes forever, and let's be honest - you usually skip it or write something lazy. System - AI Meta generates professional, SEO-optimized meta descriptions and keywords automatically using AI. Click one button, and your content gets proper meta tags that actually help your search rankings.
Overview
Proof
- Free and open source - No subscription fees, no limits
- One-click generation - Literally just click "AI Generate" in your admin panel
- Works with your AI - Supports Ollama (free, local) and OpenAI-compatible APIs (everyone else)
- Active development
How It Works
You connect the plugin to an AI service (like Ollama running on your computer, or OpenAI's API), then create prompts that tell the AI how to write your meta descriptions. The plugin uses dialog-based prompting - you set up a conversation template once, using placeholders like %title% and %article%. After that, when you're editing an article in Joomla, you click "AI Generate" and the plugin fills in your template with the actual content and sends it to the AI. If you don't like the result, click "Regenerate" and tell it what to change.

The plugin is completely free. If you use Ollama (also free), you have zero ongoing costs. If you use OpenAI's API, you pay their rates—usually pennies per article. You configure an AI connection (endpoint URL, maybe an API key) and create prompts using dialog-based prompting. The documentation includes working example prompts you can copy and customize. If you've used ChatGPT, you already understand the concept. Most people are generating meta descriptions within 20 minutes. You control the prompts and can regenerate instantly if you don't like something. You're still in charge, the AI just saves you time writing the same type of content over and over. If you can install a Joomla plugin, you can use this. The hardest part is installing Ollama if you want free local AI, and that's literally one installer download.Frequently Asked Questions:
