Agent Builder Changelog

What's new in every release — features, improvements, and fixes that matter to you.

Pro terminology & privacy update

  • Privacy: Agent update checks are now strictly opt-in. The plugin will never contact agentic-plugin.com without explicit administrator consent — you'll see a clear consent screen on your first visit to the Agents page.
  • Terminology: The plugin consistently uses "Pro" throughout the admin interface, matching the branding on the website and marketplace.

New AI models, Video Assistant & Logs redesign

  • New models: Claude Sonnet/Opus/Haiku 4.x, Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash/Flash-Lite, Grok 3 and Grok 3-mini added to the model picker.
  • Video Assistant: New premium agent that generates video clips from text prompts with full post-production — trim, stitch, add background music, and generate captions. Powered by Google Veo via the Agentic service.
  • Unified Logs: Audit Log, Conversations, and Security Log redesigned as a single tabbed interface with period filters (Today / Last 7 Days / Last 30 Days).
  • Per-role usage limits: Set independent daily AI quotas for anonymous visitors, subscribers, contributors, authors, and editors.

Free Agentic AI included & privacy improvements

  • Free AI out of the box: 50 AI chat queries per day at no cost, no API key required — powered by the Agentic AI service. Set up in seconds from the welcome screen.
  • Privacy: IP addresses anonymised by default. GDPR data exporters and erasers expanded to cover all plugin data.
  • Explicit consent: A clear sign-up screen explains exactly what data is shared before you connect to the Agentic AI service.

10 built-in agents, daily quotas & Conversations

  • 10 built-in AI assistants included free: WordPress Assistant, Content Writer, SEO Assistant, Security Assistant, Site Doctor, AI Radar, Assistant Trainer, Media Assistant, Plugin Assistant, and Theme Assistant.
  • Daily usage quotas: Free tier enforces per-user daily limits on chat queries, image generation, and RAG lookups — with clear user-facing messages and a link to buy credits.
  • Admin notifications: Email alert when users hit their daily quota.
  • Conversations page: Browse and review all user chat sessions from the admin panel.

Redesigned admin menu & agent configuration

  • New admin menu: Chat, Agents, Deploy, Tools, Skills, and Integrations — reorganised for clarity.
  • Agent memory: Agents can retain information between sessions. Configure retention TTL per agent.
  • Response style presets: Choose Balanced, Concise, Detailed, Technical, or Friendly for each agent.
  • Suggested prompts: Customise the prompt quick-picks shown to users in each agent's chat.

Context-aware chat, Google Sheets & file uploads

  • Context-aware chat: Chat widgets automatically inject the current page title, URL, and referrer into the conversation — agents know where the user is without any extra config.
  • Google Sheets channel (Pro): Connect agents to read from and write to Google Sheets spreadsheets using a service account.
  • GDPR consent gate: Optionally require visitor consent before the public chat widget activates.
  • Image & file uploads: Users can attach images and files directly in the chat interface.
  • Multimodal (vision): Agents can analyse image attachments using any vision-capable AI model.

GDPR consent gate & Costs tab

  • GDPR consent (REST): The REST API is gated — AI requests cannot be sent until the visitor accepts the consent banner.
  • Costs tab: View current AI model pricing across all providers directly inside your WordPress admin — no more tab-switching.
  • Branded email alerts: Security events (failed logins, file changes) now trigger styled admin emails.

Knowledge Files & RAG via WP-CLI

  • Knowledge Files: Agents declare knowledge files in their configuration and receive the content in their system prompt automatically — give agents reference documents, style guides, or FAQs they can always draw on.
  • WP-CLI RAG commands: Manage your knowledge base from the terminal — wp agent rag status|train|upload|delete|search.
  • Document formats: PDF, plain text, and Markdown files all supported.

Plugin update checker, deployment tabs & modal widget

  • Auto-update checker: Get Agent Builder updates directly in your WordPress Plugins screen — no WP.org directory needed (Pro).
  • Deployment tabs: Configure where each agent is deployed — admin chat, public shortcode, Gutenberg block, admin sidebar, or floating modal.
  • Modal widget: A floating "chat" button that opens a full agent chat panel on any page — zero-code public deployment.

Plugin Assistant with Gutenberg blocks & MU plugin support

  • Plugin Assistant improvements: Generates complete WordPress plugins from a plain-English description including React Gutenberg blocks, WP-CLI commands, REST API endpoints, and MU plugin variants.
  • Multi-turn chat: Agents maintain context reliably across long conversations — better follow-up and iteration.
  • Assistant Trainer hardening: More accurate agent generation with improved system prompts.

Vision model per provider & Ollama DB storage

  • Vision model: Configure a dedicated vision-capable model per AI provider — e.g. use GPT-4o for vision and GPT-4o-mini for text to keep costs down.
  • Ollama endpoint: Ollama server URL stored per-provider in the database — no more editing config files.

Anthropic (Claude) integration & write operations ledger

  • Anthropic provider: Full Claude integration — tool calling, streaming, response normalisation. Default model set to Claude Sonnet.
  • Write operations ledger: Every non-read-only tool call is logged with timestamp, mode (supervised/autonomous), and invocation context (chat/schedule/hook/CLI). 30-day retention.
  • AI Radar: Preview robots.txt and llms.txt changes before writing — read-only preview tools bypass the approval queue.

Post scheduling, password reset tool & Gutenberg sidebar

  • Post scheduling: Agents can now schedule posts for future publication — not just immediate publish.
  • Force password reset: Security agents can flag a WordPress user account for a forced password change on next login.
  • Gutenberg sidebar: Provider configuration warning now shown in the sidebar before you type anything — clearer feedback when the provider isn't set up.
  • Per-shortcode styling: Each [agentic_chat] shortcode can set its own theme, colours, and height independently.

Health tab redesign & per-service credit tracking

  • Health tab: Completely redesigned — live service status indicators for every connected provider.
  • Per-service credits: View your remaining AI credit balance broken down by service (chat, RAG, images, TTS).
  • TTS toggle: Enable or disable text-to-speech output globally from the admin settings.
  • Tab reordering: Drag settings tabs into any order and reset to defaults with one click.

MCP integration — connect Claude Desktop, VS Code & Cursor

  • MCP server: Agent Builder exposes your agents as an MCP server. Connect Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and use your site's agents as tools directly from your editor or AI assistant.
  • Per-agent MCP servers: Enable MCP on a per-agent basis with configurable tool scopes.
  • WP-CLI MCP command: wp agent mcp-connect to test the connection from the terminal.

Gutenberg sidebar, event triggers & email templates

  • Gutenberg editor sidebar: Chat with any agent without leaving the editor — get writing help, SEO suggestions, and content ideas while you're writing.
  • Event trigger management: Browse and manage all active WordPress hook listeners from a dedicated UI.
  • Email templates: Customise the HTML email templates sent by agent-triggered notifications.

WP-CLI agent execution

  • WP-CLI tool: Run agent tasks directly from the command line — ideal for server-side automation, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines.

Safety & trust layer — risk levels and approval workflows

  • 5-tier risk system: Every agent tool is classified as None / Low / Medium / High / Extreme risk. You decide which risk levels require manual approval before execution.
  • Approval queue: High-risk actions pause and queue for administrator review — agents cannot execute destructive operations without human sign-off.
  • Tamper protection: Agent configurations are integrity-checked on load to detect unauthorised modifications.

WhatsApp channel integration

  • WhatsApp (Pro): Connect your agents to WhatsApp via the Meta Cloud API. Visitors and customers can chat with your AI agents directly through WhatsApp — no app to install on your server.

White-label branding

  • White-label: Hide or replace "Agent Builder" branding in the chat interface — ship AI assistants under your own agency or product brand.

Granular permissions & proposal/review system

  • Granular permissions: Control exactly what each agent can read and write — content, files, plugins, settings, emails, and more — independently per agent.
  • Proposal/review system: Agents in supervised mode describe what they're about to do and wait for your approval before making any changes.
  • Automatic backups: Files and database tables are backed up before any agent write operation.
  • Write permissions off by default: New agents start in read-only mode for safety.

Real-time event listeners

  • Event listeners: Agents react to WordPress hooks in real time — post published, comment added, user registered, plugin activated, and dozens more. No polling required.
  • Async task handling: Agent responses in autonomous mode are processed asynchronously so they never block page loads.

Scheduled tasks & Security Monitor

  • Scheduled tasks: Agents can run recurring jobs on any cron schedule — daily SEO audits, weekly security scans, monthly reports.
  • Security Monitor: Daily autonomous scan for failed logins, outdated plugins, modified files, and suspicious admin accounts.

Agent Builder — initial stable release

  • Core AI agent runtime — create, configure, and run AI agents inside WordPress.
  • Multi-provider support: OpenAI, Google Gemini, xAI, Mistral, Meta Llama, and Ollama.
  • Tool system: content creation, SEO analysis, security scanning, file management, and more — extensible by developers.
  • Full audit log of every agent action.
  • WP-CLI, WP REST API, and Gutenberg block integrations.
