Agenistrator – AI Agent & Assistant for WordPress Admin

Agenistrator puts an AI agent directly in your WordPress admin dashboard. Most AI plugins just generate text in a box. Agenistrator actually operates your admin for you. Chat naturally to manage your entire site: create and edit content, install plugins and themes, manage users and permissions, monitor site health, and automate multi-step workflows. The agent plans complex tasks, executes them step by step, and course-corrects if it gets stuck. It’s read-only by default, so it can’t change anything until you explicitly approve write access.

Try It for Free

You can start using Agenistrator at no cost. OpenRouter and Ollama Cloud both offer free tiers with capable models. Just sign up, get a free API key, and you’re ready to go. No credit card required to get started.

What Makes Agenistrator Different

• True AI agent, not just a chatbot. The assistant doesn’t just answer questions, it plans and executes multi-step tasks autonomously. Tell it “find every draft post older than a year and publish them” and it figures out the steps, runs them, and reports back.
• Survives long-running tasks. Works around PHP execution-time limits and provider rate limits without losing progress, so big multi-step jobs actually finish instead of timing out.
• Over 100 built-in tools. Manage posts, pages, comments, media, users, plugins, themes, menus, settings, cron jobs, and more, all through natural language. Each tool can be individually enabled or disabled.
• Smart context management. Counts tokens in real time, detects model context limits, prunes old messages, and loads tools only when needed, keeping long conversations on track and efficient.
• Secure PHP sandbox. Run calculations and data transformations against a whitelist of safe functions, with no access to the rest of your system.
• Works with your preferred AI provider. OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), OpenRouter (hundreds of models), and Ollama Cloud. Configure multiple providers and switch between them anytime.
• Safety-first by default. Read-only tools are enabled out of the box. Write tools that modify your site must be explicitly activated by you. The agent respects WordPress permissions and multisite boundaries.
• Optional semantic search. Enable embeddings to let the agent find content by meaning, not just keywords. Disabled by default to avoid surprise costs. The plugin works great without it.
• Your data stays private. Conversations and settings are stored in your WordPress database. Content is only sent to AI providers you explicitly configure.

Getting Started in 2 Minutes

1. Install and activate the plugin, and a chat icon appears in your admin
2. Go to Agenistrator > Settings and add a provider
3. Free option: Sign up for OpenRouter (openrouter.ai) or Ollama Cloud (ollama.com), get a free API key, and paste it in
4. Select a chat model (a sensible default is auto-selected)
5. Click the chat icon and start delegating tasks

Safety & Transparency

Agenistrator gives AI models the ability to make changes to your site. We take this responsibility seriously:

• Read-only by default. Tools that modify data are disabled until you explicitly enable them.
• Permission-aware. The agent can only do what your WordPress user account is allowed to do.
• Multisite-safe. Sensitive tools are restricted to super admins. Site admins cannot access data from other sites in the network.
• Model quality matters. More capable models produce better results. If you’re not getting the output you expect, try a more powerful model.

Please be aware: Using AI agents carries inherent risks, including potential API costs, unintended content changes, and data loss. Start with a spending limit on your provider account. The developers accept no responsibility for actions taken by AI models through this plugin. Use at your own risk.

Privacy & Data

• What is stored locally (in your WordPress database):
  • Your API keys (stored securely in your WordPress database)
  • Your chat history with the assistant
  • Content embeddings (if enabled)
  • All plugin settings and configuration
• What is sent to your AI provider:
  • Your conversation history
  • Tool call output (can contain your data)
  • Site pages and posts (only if you enable semantic search)

Some tools can fetch external URLs or send emails if you enable them.

External Services

This plugin connects to external services to provide AI assistant functionality. You must configure at least one AI provider for the plugin to work. Your conversations and site content are only sent to providers you explicitly configure.

• OpenAI: Chat and embedding models. Terms | Privacy
• Anthropic (Claude): Chat models only (no embeddings). Terms | Privacy
• OpenRouter: Access to hundreds of models from multiple providers through a single API key. Terms | Privacy
• Ollama Cloud: Hosted open-weight models with a free tier. Chat only (no embeddings). Terms | Privacy

Data sent to providers: Your conversation history, tool outputs, and relevant site content are sent when you interact with the assistant. If you enable semantic search, your site’s posts and pages are sent to generate embeddings.

Other external requests: The plugin fetches model metadata from models.dev (GitHub) and tokenizer vocabulary files from OpenAI’s public blob storage. These requests contain only your server’s IP address and no user data. Both are cached locally.

Requirements

• WordPress 5.3 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher
• MySQL 5.7.8+ or MariaDB 10.2.7+
• An API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or Ollama Cloud
• Administrator access (the plugin is only available to administrators)

Multisite: Site administrators can manage their own sites. Tools that read files outside the uploads directory or access server-level diagnostics require super admin access.
