“Generate Takeaways” button doesn’t work anymore

    After the latest update, Generate Takeaways doesn’t do anything. It just loads forever.

    I have verified all of our openai settings are correct, and this was previously working great maybe a month ago. OpenAI is funded for API access.

    I edited your plugin to display the async error failures and the error is:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'points')
    at Object. (summaraize-admin.js?ver=1.1.16:373:59)
    at c (load-scripts.php?c=0&load%5Bchunk_0%5D=jquery-core,utils,wp-dom-ready,wp-hooks&ver=6.7.2:2:25304)

    at XMLHttpRequest. (load-scripts.php?c=0&load%5Bchunk_0%5D=jquery-core,utils,wp-dom-ready,wp-hooks&ver=6.7.2:2:80265)

    Another error we get frequently is:

    Failed to create a thread. Please check your AI Provider settings, including API key and Assistant ID, or reset your settings.

    Every once in a while if we try enough times it will eventually work. But it takes like 10 attempts or more.

    Thanks for reaching out — and I really appreciate the detailed troubleshooting you’ve already done. That error log and background are super helpful.

    You’re absolutely right that something changed recently. OpenAI has made major updates to the Assistants API, and unfortunately, those changes broke parts of the integration in earlier versions of the plugin that relied on structured Assistant IDs and persistent threads.

    The good news:
    The newest GPT-4o-mini models now support structured data directly, and we no longer need to use the Assistants API at all to generate takeaways. We’re currently rolling out updates that switch the plugin over to the new approach using direct calls to gpt-4o, which is significantly faster and more reliable.

    Bonus:
    We’ve also added support for Google Gemini, which has shown excellent performance in our tests — especially in terms of speed. If you’re open to it, Gemini is a great alternative, and it’s already integrated into the latest plugin version.

    What to Do Now
    1. Make sure you’re on version 1.2.2 of the plugin.
    2. Go to Settings → Summaraize and either:
    • Update your OpenAI settings (make sure your API key is valid), or
    • Try switching to Google Gemini if you’d like to compare results.
    3. You should notice a big improvement in both reliability and response time.

    Let me know if you’d like help migrating your settings, or if you’re still seeing the issue after the update. I’m happy to walk through it with you.

    Thanks again for your patience — and for being an early adopter of Summaraize!

    Best,
    James

    thank you for the detailed response. Do you have any estimate on when the open AI integration update will be released? In the meantime we would be open to try Google Gemini but my client could not figure out how to fund the API key that I created in their Google cloud console. I am not an administrator so I can’t do it myself. Do you have any advice on how to walk them through that? The summarize AI plugin is not showing on the post-edit page when we have it in Gemini mode, I assume it’s because the API response is invalid until we fund the account.

    You can download it right now, right here in the directory. I’m sure it will show the update indicator in the WordPress dashboard shortly but it’s up right now. Give it a shot and let me know if you have trouble.

    Gemini was added because a user asked for it. If there is something you’d like to see in here let me know and I’ll see what I can do. I’m just glad someone is using it.

    Thanks again!
