Saved as drafts with a category and an excerpt, never published without you.

WordPress
An AI agent for your WordPress site
Connect your site through WordPress's own approval screen, then ask in plain words: draft posts, fill in missing alt text, rework a page in blocks, tidy categories or update WooCommerce products. Nothing to install on the site.
Works with WordPress sites on HTTPS that allow application passwords.
Automatio chat
Find the images in my media library that have no alt text and write a short, accurate alt text for each.
- Found the images with no alt text
- Wrote a description for each one
- Saved them to your media library
What it does
The chores, done by asking
The agent works through WordPress's REST API with your account's rights, inside limits that keep your site safe.
Write and edit posts and pages
New posts and pages are saved as drafts for you to review. Existing ones can be rewritten, retitled, given new excerpts or moved to the trash.
Look after the media library
Upload images, audio, video or PDFs from a link, set featured images, and fill in alt text and titles.
Sort categories, tags and comments
Create and rename terms, re-tag posts in bulk, and approve, spam or trash comments waiting for moderation.
Change menus, templates and settings
Edit navigation and header or footer templates on block themes, plus your title, tagline and front page. The previous value is kept, so a change can be put back.
Edit WooCommerce, when you allow it
Switch on plugin access for a site and the agent can manage WooCommerce products, coupons, shipping zones and order status.
Run several sites from one chat
Connect up to 20 sites and say which one you mean. Each has its own switches.
Getting started
Connect in three steps
1
Add your site
In Automatio, open Integrations, choose WordPress and type your site's address.
2
Approve it in WordPress
WordPress shows its own screen for approving an application. Sign in as an administrator or editor and press Approve.
3
Ask for what you need
Back in Automatio, say what to change. New content is saved as drafts until you publish it.

Things to ask once your site is connected
Send one as written or change the details. Each opens in Automatio with the request filled in.
Fix missing alt text
Every image without a description gets one that says what is in it.
Find the images in my media library that have no alt text and write a short, accurate alt text for each.
Refresh old posts
Bring titles and excerpts on older posts in line with what they say today.
List my 20 oldest published posts and rewrite each excerpt so it matches what the post says now. Show me the changes before saving.
Clean up categories
Find the categories that barely get used and fold them into others.
Show me the categories with fewer than three posts and suggest which to combine. Once I confirm, move their posts into the category we keep.
Run a WooCommerce sale
Needs plugin access switched on for the site.
Put every product in the [category] category on a 15% sale until the end of the month.
Moderate comments
Clear the queue without reading every one yourself.
Go through the comments waiting for moderation, approve the genuine ones and mark the spam as spam.

What it does and doesn't do
It does
- Save new posts and pages as drafts unless you ask it to publish.
- Move content to the trash instead of deleting it for good.
- Keep the previous value when it changes a menu, template or setting.
- Touch plugins only on sites where you switched plugin access on.
It doesn't
- Install themes, edit theme or plugin files, or run PHP.
- Change users, roles or application passwords. Users are read-only.
- Reach sites without HTTPS, or sites where a security plugin turns off application passwords.
- Get past firewalls that block server traffic. There is no fixed address to allow-list yet.
Questions
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. Automatio connects through application passwords and the REST API, which WordPress has included since version 5.6. You approve the connection on your own site, on WordPress's own screen.
Is my password safe?
Automatio never sees your WordPress login. It receives an application password, swaps it for a fresh one straight away, stores it encrypted and never shows it to the AI. Disconnecting in Automatio revokes it on your site, and you can revoke it yourself from your WordPress profile.
What can it change on my site?
What your WordPress account can, inside Automatio's own limits: it can't change users or roles, it trashes instead of deleting, and plugins stay off-limits until you switch plugin access on for that site.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes, once you switch on plugin access for the site. The agent can then manage products, coupons, shipping zones and order status through WooCommerce's REST API. Secrets a plugin stores are hidden from it.
Which sites can it connect to?
WordPress sites on HTTPS where application passwords are available. A firewall that blocks server traffic, or a security plugin that turns application passwords off, will stop it. Multisite networks haven't been tested.
What does it cost?
The WordPress tools are free. The agent's work uses credits from your Automatio account, and generated images cost credits of their own.
