Made possible by [ ![szenario-design.com logo](images/szenario-logo.svg)](https://www.szenario-design.com/) The team behind the magic [Simon Wesp](https://twitter.com/smonist) [Thomas Bendl](https://twitter.com/thomasbendl) Erich Bendl Features ✨ ---------- [](#features-) - Dedicated UI for reviewing and managing generated alt text - Inline frontend editing workflow - Compatible with static page caching (Blitz, Varnish, CDN, etc.) - Automatic SPA support (Barba.js, Swup, Turbo, htmx, etc.) - Native Craft CMS integration for assets and action menus - CLI commands for batch generation and maintenance - Dynamic OpenAI rate-limit throttling for safer large runs - Alt text status tracking across assets/sites - Automatic generation for newly uploaded images Requirements 📋 -------------- [](#requirements-) - Craft CMS `5.0.0+` - PHP `8.2+` - Valid OpenAI API key with access to a vision-capable model - Reliable Craft queue runner for production (CRON or daemon-based) > altpilot uses Craft's queue system for generation jobs. For production, avoid relying only on browser-triggered queue execution. > Craft queue docs: Installation 📦 -------------- [](#installation-) Install from the Craft Plugin Store or via Composer. ### Plugin Store [](#plugin-store) [Install altpilot from the Craft Plugin Store](https://plugins.craftcms.com/altpilot) ### Composer [](#composer) ``` # from your Craft project root composer require szenario/craft-altpilot && php craft plugin/install altpilot ``` Quickstart 🚀 ------------ [](#quickstart-) 1. Open `Settings -> Plugins -> altpilot`. 2. Add your OpenAI API key. 3. Select the asset volumes altpilot should process. 4. Run an initial generation pass: ``` php craft altpilot/missing ``` 5. Make sure your queue runner is active: ``` php craft queue/run --verbose ``` [![](images/screenshot-altpilot.png)](images/screenshot-altpilot.png) Configuration 🛠️ ---------------- [](#configuration-️) altpilot settings are available in the Craft control panel: - **OpenAI API Key**: API key used for generation requests - **Volumes**: limits processing to selected asset volumes - **Inline Frontend Editing**: toggles frontend overlay - **Prompt**: base prompt sent with each image - **Prompt Role**: optional role/context - **Prompt Focus**: optional domain-specific focus - **OpenAI Model**: model used for alt text generation (recommended: `gpt-5-nano`) Model Recommendation and Cost ----------------------------- [](#model-recommendation-and-cost) We recommend `gpt-5-nano` as the default model for most projects because it currently offers the best price/performance for alt text generation. In our experience, generating 1,000 alt texts with `gpt-5-nano` costs less **$0.7 USD**. > Pricing is an estimate, not a guarantee. Actual cost depends on your prompt length, image complexity, response length, and OpenAI pricing changes over time. Console Commands ---------------- [](#console-commands) altpilot includes CLI commands for batch operations: ``` # show available commands php craft altpilot # generate for one asset (optionally scoped by site) php craft altpilot/asset [--siteId=] # generate only missing alt text in configured volumes php craft altpilot/missing [--siteId=] # regenerate all alt text (overwrites existing) php craft altpilot/all [--siteId=] # regenerate all but optionally skip assets with manually set alt text php craft altpilot/all [--siteId=] --exclude-manual # show status counts and queue overview php craft altpilot/stats ``` Queue and Performance Notes --------------------------- [](#queue-and-performance-notes) For stable production behavior: - Run queue workers via CRON or a daemon process - Monitor queue health during large generation batches - Keep PHP execution limits realistic for external API calls (`120s+` is safer than very low defaults) Support ------- [](#support) - Issues: - Source: - Developer: ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance80 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
