Koala AI announced major platform updates on June 13, 2025, introducing a WordPress plugin, enhanced AI image generation, and custom content formatting tools.

The Gainesville, Florida-based company released these features across its KoalaWriter and KoalaImages platforms, according to an official email announcement from Connor and the Koala AI team.

The updates address content publishing workflows and visual content creation, two areas where artificial intelligence tools continue to evolve rapidly. Users can now access these features through their existing Koala AI accounts without additional setup requirements.

WordPress Plugin Streamlines Content Publishing

The new WordPress plugin connects user accounts directly to WordPress websites, enabling one-click publishing from the KoalaWriter platform. The plugin is available through the WordPress directory and provides several automated features.

Key capabilities include AI-powered category selection with manual override options, automatic conversion to WordPress blocks, and post status management. Advanced features require the plugin installation and include setting post authors, choosing post types including custom options, auto-uploading images, and automatically setting featured images.

“Our WordPress plugin makes it easy to securely connect your account with your WordPress website. This allows you to publish content directly from KoalaWriter in one click,” the company stated in its announcement.

The plugin supplements existing REST API integration, though some advanced features require the plugin due to API limitations. Users can maintain their current REST API connections while accessing additional functionality through the plugin.

AI Image Generation Receives Significant Updates

Koala AI upgraded its image generation capabilities across both KoalaWriter and KoalaImages platforms. The Standard model now uses Leonardo Phoenix 1.0, which the company describes as providing dramatically improved image quality compared to previous versions.

Three new premium image models are now available: Ideogram 3.0, GPT Image 1, and GPT High Quality. These models expand options for users requiring high-quality visual content for professional applications.

The GPT Image 1 and GPT High Quality models support reference image uploads, allowing users to maintain visual consistency across projects. This feature supports editing, style matching, and brand consistency requirements.

Custom Instructions Transform Content Polishing

The Polish feature now supports custom instructions, giving users control over article tone and formatting. This update allows unlimited re-runs of the Polish function on existing articles, enabling experimentation with different output styles.

“You can now gain full control over the tone and formatting of your articles with Custom Instructions in Polish,” according to the company announcement.

The custom instructions feature works across multiple platforms including individual articles, Bulk Writer, the KoalaWriter API, and the Polish API. This integration provides consistent functionality across all user access points.

Technical Specifications and Availability

All announced features are immediately available to current Koala AI users. The WordPress plugin requires installation from the WordPress directory and account connection to access advanced features. Users should delete previous integrations after installing the new plugin to avoid conflicts.

The enhanced image generation improvements apply automatically to existing accounts. Prompt generation has been improved across all models, which should result in better outputs regardless of the selected image generation model.

Users can access documentation for WordPress integration and view image samples from different models. The company maintains a Discord server for community feedback and product roadmap discussions.

The updates represent Koala AI’s continued development of AI-powered content creation tools, focusing on practical applications for content creators and publishers.
