Alt Text AI

Alt Text AI is a plugin that integrates DatoCMS with AltText.ai to generate image alt text directly in the DatoCMS dashboard.

Configuration

In the plugin's settings screen, paste an API key obtained from <https://alttext.ai/account/api_keys>.

The plugin also relies on the editor's current user access token, so make sure that permission is granted when installing.

Usage

Once configured, the plugin adds two dropdown actions to every file and gallery field. Open a record and use the field-specific dropdown to run:

• Generate missing alt texts: only fills in alt text for assets that don't have one yet.
• Generate Alt Texts: regenerates alt text for every asset in the field, overwriting any existing values.

Scripts

• npm run dev: Run the plugin locally with Vite.
• npm run build: Type-check and build production assets into dist/.
