Where Basker's editor uses AI to suggest content for you to review: alt text and SEO metadata
Basker's editor offers a few places where AI can suggest content for you, to save typing and get you to a starting draft. The suggestions are starting points, not finished work. Review and edit them before saving.
AI suggestions and their usage allowance are controlled by your site's plan. See Choosing a Basker plan and the live pricing matrix for current availability.
The features below are the AI-assisted ones available in the editor today.
Suggest alt text
In the media library, the Generate Alt Text button suggests an alt-text description from the image itself. Use it to draft alt text for a fresh upload, or to add descriptions to items in an older media library that lack them.
What it does well:
- Describes what is visibly in the image: people, objects, settings.
- Gets you to a usable description faster than starting from a blank field.
What to review:
- AI does not know the purpose of the image on your site. A photo of a cellist might be described as "A person playing a cello," when the editorially useful description is "A cellist performing at Remarkable Theatre, July 2026." Add the editorial context that the AI cannot infer.
- AI can be over-confident about identification. If the suggestion names someone or somewhere specific, double-check it.

Suggest meta description
In the SEO tab on a page, post, or event, the Generate option next to the meta description field drafts a description from the item's title, body content, and other metadata.
What it does well:
- Produces a coherent one- or two-sentence summary that fits within the recommended SEO description length.
- Adapts to the type of content: a post, an event, and a page each get a different shape of description.
What to review:
- The suggestion picks up on what the content currently says. If your draft is light on detail, the suggestion will be too. Enter the body content first, then ask for a description.
- Editorial voice does not survive automatically. If your house style is more formal or more conversational than the suggestion, edit it.
Suggest meta title
In the SEO tab, the Generate option next to the meta title field drafts a title appropriate for search results, separate from the page's display title. Use this when the on-page title and the search-result title need to differ: long pages where a shorter SEO title reads better, or events where you want to highlight a specific detail in search.
What to review:
- The suggestion targets length first. Check that it carries the keywords your audience would actually search for.
- Watch for over-padding. A meta title cluttered with venue, season, and year tags can lose the actual event name in search snippets.
When AI suggestions appear
The Generate controls only appear in the SEO tab and the media library. They are not enabled in every editor area, and they do not run automatically. You trigger them when you want a suggestion.
If you do not see the Generate buttons, check your plan and permissions. See Choosing a Basker plan, or contact support if you expect the feature to be enabled.
