WordPress Perplexity Plugin: Analyze with Perplexity
Perplexity Text Analyzer is a WordPress plugin that seamlessly integrates AI-powered content analysis into your website. When visitors select text on your WordPress posts, a sleek floating button appears, allowing them to instantly analyze the selected content using Perplexity AI's advanced language models. This creates an interactive reading experience that encourages deeper engagement with your content.
The plugin features a modern, modular JavaScript architecture that ensures smooth performance across all devices. With smart positioning that adapts to viewport boundaries and touch-friendly mobile support, your visitors can explore content insights whether they're on desktop or mobile devices. The plugin works universally across different WordPress environments, from standard plugin installations to must-use plugins, child themes, or parent themes.
We built this to:
