AI Blog — an automated blog with a neural network for OpenCart 3

A blog that fills itself

Content marketing for an online store comes down to one thing:articles need to be written. A copywriter costs 1500-3000 rubles per text and a week of waiting. Doing it yourself means the eternal "I'll write it on the weekend."

AI Blog solves the problem.You approve the topic with one click, and the module automatically writes the article, creates the cover, fills in the meta tags, adds product links, and publishes on schedule. Then the blog runs without you.

What the store gets

• Traffic from informational queries.The product card answers the query "buy a greenhouse," while the article answers the query "which polycarbonate to choose for a greenhouse." These are different people at different stages, and there are many more of the latter.
• Links from articles directly to the catalog.The main difference from a WordPress blog next to the store: the module sees your catalog and inserts links to specific products and sections into the text. An article doesn't just inform – it leads to a purchase.
• Out-of-the-box microdata.Article, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, ItemList, Open Graph – these are what SEOs are usually paid for separately.

---

How it works

• Topics.Click "Select Topics" – the module looks at your catalog and suggests a list of ideas. Or add your own.
• Statement.Mark the appropriate ones. Nothing will be published without your consent.
• Generation.The article is assembled in 10 steps: duplicate check → brief → outline → sections → introduction → FAQ → meta tags → interlinking → cover → assembly. Each step is a separate request, so nothing times out on weak hosting.
• Proofreading (optional).The finished article waits for a specified number of hours - you can make corrections before publication.
• Publishing.Scheduled, with notification via Telegram or email.

Six neural networks on Selection



Different providers for different tasks.Text can be written using one model, utility tasks using another, and images using a third. For example: texts on the free GigaChat,Meta tags on the cheap model, covers there too.

The Ministry of Digital Development certificate for GigaChat is already built into the module — no additional server installation is required.

Article covers

Three modes to choose from:

• Image generated by a neural network;
• Image with an overlay title;
• Banner on a solid background — no neural network at all and no Expenses.

The Cyrillic font is built into the module, so the title renders on any hosting, even if there are no system fonts on the server.

How it looks on the website

Blog and category page— cards with covers, category filter, pagination.

Article page— table of contents with anchors, FAQ accordion, product block from the article, related materials, reading time.

A block on any page— a grid, slider, or compact list for the sidebar. Slider powered by the Swiper library (integrated into the module, no CDN): swipe on a phone, arrows, dots, auto-scroll. Articles can be selected manually or filtered by category.

Customizable to your theme.Accent color, background, text color, rounding, text column width, font size, and card style are all customizable in the settings.no CSS editing required. The block blends seamlessly with the website background.

Responsive layout: tested on desktop, tablet, and phone.

SEO

• SEF URLs with a custom base path —/articles/,/blog/, as needed
• Microdata markup: Article, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, ItemList
• Open Graph for social media, canonical, hreflang
• RSS feed and separate blog sitemap.xml
• IndexNow — instant Yandex and Bing notifications about a new article
• Meta tags and image alt tags are generated along with the article

Reliability

This module was written with real virtual hosting in mind, not an ideal server.

• One step – one request.Doesn't limit max_execution_time.
• Manually managed queue.Every step, progress, and token consumption are visible. Any step can be restarted, an article can be regenerated, and the cover can be redrawn.
• Clear errors.Not "an error occurred," but what the provider responded with and what to do about it. Out of funds, invalid key, content filter triggered, response interrupted—each case has its own text and scenario.
• Diagnostic screen.PHP version, GD, WebP, fonts, folder permissions, provider availability—one page.
• XSS protection.HTML from the neural network is cleaned using a whitelist of tags.
• API keys are maskedin the interface and logs.

Installation

The archive.ocmod.zipis installed normally:Extensions → Install Extensions.

No core file edits.There are no rules in the OCMOD manifest."file" — the module operates through events, its own routes, and the standard OpenCart module mechanism. It doesn't conflict with other extensions, doesn't break when OpenCart is updated, and doesn't require rewriting for each theme.

---

Compatibility

• OpenCart 3.0.3.6 – 3.0.3.8, ocStore 3.x
• PHP 7.2 – 8.1
• MySQL 5.6+ / MariaDB
• Works with any theme — native templates, with a fallback option in case of non-standard Layouts
• Multi-store and multilingual support

---

What else is needed besides the module

• Provider API key— purchased separately from Sber, Yandex, OpenAI, etc. GigaChat has a free plan, which is enough to get started.
• Cron on hosting— one line to automatically queue. There's a fallback mode without cron, based on site visits.

FAQ

Do I need a separate API key?
Yes, the provider key is purchased separately. GigaChat has a free plan — it's enough to get started without any investment.

How much does one article cost?
Depends on the provider and volume. On the free GigaChat plan, it's free. Paid plans typically charge a few rubles per article. Token expenditure is visible in the queue for each article.

Are articles published without my participation?
Only if you want it to be. By default, topics require approval, and finished articles can sit for a set number of hours for proofreading.

Will this look like spam to search engines?
The module marks new topics as "AI-generated" (can be disabled), checks new topics for duplicates with previously published ones, and writes according to a structured structure rather than a template. However, the results depend on the chosen model and how accurately you've described the store in the settings.

Will it work with my theme?
Yes. The module doesn't edit core files and isn't dependent on the theme's layout. Colors and styles are customizable to match the website design.

What if my hosting is weak?
The module is designed for shared hosting: one generation step per request, no execution time limit.
