Plain Vanilla WP Solution that Works!
This is the kind of plugin that should be baked-in to WP Core. Bring your own AI key, and generate the text w/ a prompt. WP CLI to do bulk processing. Lightweight, no frills and no extra branding. Bravo!

OMG - finally a real solution
OMG! BRAVO! We have a couple of news portals where we import news items weekly from our sister sites as "national" news items, and we use tool to auto pull local featured image from the image embedded into the sister site content, but has never pulled alt tags -- stupidly I only noticed this recently in auditing some stuff, and went #doh. I didn't want to pay some inflated fee for something so simple -- in my case just applying story title to the image alt tag. Your plugin does it wonderfully, and you have my thanks big time! Woo!!!!!

Nice plugin but button in editor gallery is not working
Hi, this plugin is exactly what I needed. Thank you for option to connect own API keys. Only thing for perfection is that button "in editor" is not working for us. Only manually uploaded images are texted also button in media library from sidebar is working but button "in article grid view" media library is doing nothing. It would be great if you can check on this as we could text also images that are added with other plugins like Instant Images that way. Tried to disable all plugins and theme. Didn't help Edit: didn't work also on another hosting
