Our own WordPress plugin for Advanced Custom Fields and Secure Custom Fields: it fills a post's custom fields from its content with the Google Gemini API, using a schema built from each field's settings, then checks every value with its own codec and ACF's validation before saving.
Client systems are private — screenshots shown where permitted.
Filling an ACF field group: every field shows its current and proposed value, its type and a validity check before anything goes into the form.
Sites built on ACF often have dozens of custom fields per post: specs, prices, dates, choices, related posts and images. Filling them by hand is slow, and generic AI writers treat every field as free text. They invent choices that don't exist, write "about 13 kg" into a number field, return dates in the wrong format and link to posts that were never published. We needed AI values that respect each field's type, limits, choices and relationships, pass the same validation an editor's input would, can be reviewed one field at a time, and can be undone.
We built DEV3 AI Field Filler for ACF as a PHP plugin with a React admin app and buttons inside ACF's own meta boxes in the block and classic editors. A codec sits between ACF and the AI in both directions.
maxLength from the character limit, minimum and maximum for numbers, an enum of choice values, objects for links and groups, arrays of rows for repeaters and a layout enum for flexible content.acf_validate_value(), including any custom acf/validate_value filters.In the editor, "Fill with DEV3 AI" works per field or per field group and opens a review modal with current and proposed values; accepted values go into the ACF form and are saved with the post. Bulk fill drafts values for many posts in a background job into a review queue with accept-all and batch undo. The field-group generator turns a plain description into a reviewed field group, created in the database or as a local JSON file. A basic mode fills fields without AI from the post's own content. The API client and jobs come from a shared core used across DEV3's plugins.
