Content Forge – AI & non-AI content generator, scheduled AI posts, dummy data for your site

Content Forge is a free WordPress plugin that works two ways — with AI or without. The built-in traditional generator instantly creates dummy posts, pages, users, comments, and taxonomies for development, testing, and demos, no API key required. Or connect an AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) to generate real, contextually relevant posts on demand — and let Autopilot schedule those AI posts to run automatically on the cadence you choose. Use either mode standalone, or mix both in the same workflow.

Autopilot: schedule AI-generated WordPress posts

Autopilot is a free, built-in scheduler that turns Content Forge into a hands-off AI publishing assistant. Define a recurring rule once and it generates posts in the background — daily, weekly, monthly, or any custom interval. Pick your topic strategy (cycling list, random list, one-shot queue, or AI-suggested from a theme), your tone and length, and what should happen to the result: save as draft, mark as pending review, schedule to publish later, or publish immediately. Safety rails are on by default — daily post caps, auto-pause on failure, duplicate guard, and default-to-draft mode — so nothing goes live without your explicit opt-in.
