Vexal Documentation by WileyLabs

Vexal Ecosystem

Stable

Applies to: Vexal platform, WileyLabs / NADmedia product line

Updated: July 2026

Vexal is the AI Visibility Platform by WILEYlabs and NADmedia. It is machine-understanding infrastructure for WordPress—entity clarity, structured schema, telemetry, governed recommendations, and audit-ready change tracking.

Platform positioning

  • Product: AI Visibility Platform
  • Technical: Machine-understanding infrastructure (signals, scoring, schema, ledger, recommendations)
  • Design principle: Intelligence layer, not a theme framework—works with Elementor, Divi, Astra, Kadence, block themes, and WooCommerce themes

Current ecosystem products

Vexal SmartBlocks

AI visibility, page readiness, recommendations, schema, snapshots, visibility ledger, before/after reporting, visibility campaigns.

Vexal Media

Media optimization, image/video processing, metadata intelligence, alt/caption generation, WebP/video pipeline, site media readiness.

Vexal Portfolio

Projects, showcases, galleries, gallery types, client media uploader, before/after pools, media linkage.

How products connect

Vexal Portfolio (galleries, projects, showcases)
    ↔ Vexal Media (optimize, categories, uploader queue, video)
        ↔ Vexal SmartBlocks (media readiness in ledger snapshots)

Each plugin works standalone within its domain. Integrations are optional and use shared taxonomy, hooks, and internal bridges—not hard dependencies.

Vexal SmartBlocks

Primary WordPress intelligence plugin (vexal-smartblocks). Delivers page readiness scoring, governed recommendations, FAQ/schema tooling, telemetry dashboards, visibility campaigns, visibility ledger, recovery & rollback, and agent intelligence surfaces.

Vexal Media

Media intelligence and optimization layer (vexal-media). Compresses and resizes images, generates alt text, converts WebP, optimizes video, scores site media readiness, and exposes Apply Fix batches. Integrates with SmartBlocks ledger snapshots and Portfolio uploader processing.

Vexal Portfolio

Structured portfolio and project intelligence (vexal-portfolio). Manages projects (jobs), showcases (public pages), gallery types, Vexal Categories, media linkage, and the client project media uploader shortcode.

Vexal Hub Future

Planned account and multi-site management layer. SmartBlocks v1 does not ship Hub transport; REST structures exist for future wiring. Do not expect Hub-driven workflows in production today.

SearchAsist / Vexal Engine

Backend intelligence and AI routing service layer. SmartBlocks and Vexal Media can route AI features (vision metadata, image generation, engine calls) through SearchAsist when credentials are configured in plugin Integrations settings—not in Portfolio Project Workspace.

Credential rule: API keys and processing configuration belong in Vexal Media or SmartBlocks Integrations. Portfolio Project Workspace consumes internal bridge APIs only—users should not manually assign external APIs in the workspace.

  1. Install and configure Vexal SmartBlocks for visibility scoring and ledger
  2. Add Vexal Media when media readiness and optimization matter
  3. Add Vexal Portfolio when you need structured project galleries and client upload intake
  4. Enable Project Workspace in Portfolio settings only when uploader intake is required
