Questions, answered.

No. You use the ChatGPT or Claude you already have. AI Puffer doesn’t charge for your assistant’s thinking; that stays with your ChatGPT or Claude plan, under their limits.

What AI Puffer counts is website actions: each successful operation on your site uses one. The free plan includes 2,000 a month.

That’s the question AI Puffer was built around.

• No WordPress password or Application Password is ever asked for or stored. Each assistant signs in with its own key, and you can take it away in one click.
• It acts as a WordPress user you choose, so it can never do more than that person could.
• You choose how much it does alone: Read only, Standard (asks before anything goes live) or Trusted (works unattended).
• A shell and server files are never reachable (on paid plans, theme files only through a draft). Passwords and keys are never shown to your assistant or changed by it, and neither are AI Puffer’s own connection settings.
• Every read and change goes into an activity log on your own site, and one switch pauses all changes.

More in How it works.

It works draft first. New posts and pages arrive as drafts. At Standard, anything that goes live waits for your yes in wp-admin.

Every edit checks that the page hasn’t changed since your assistant read it, so it never overwrites someone else’s work. Elementor pages are saved the way Elementor saves them. Theme work (on paid plans) happens in a separate draft that you preview first, goes live with a backup, and can be rolled back.

Before a big change, ask your assistant to make a full backup with Duplicator first. It waits until the backup is complete.

Yes. The free plan gives you 2,000 website actions and 25 AI credits every month, with no card needed, and it renews each month. Paid plans add more actions and credits, from $9.99 a month. One account covers all your sites and assistants, and they share the allowance. See Pricing.

Website actions are what your ChatGPT or Claude does on your site: each successful operation on your site uses one action, such as reading a post or changing a price. Account and status checks are free, and one request can take several operations. AI credits run the AI inside your site: the chatbot for your visitors, the content writer, AI forms and images. They’re counted separately.

We test with Claude and ChatGPT, including in their web apps. Other apps that connect to remote MCP servers with OAuth should work too; choose “Other MCP assistant” when you connect.

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools. AI Puffer gives your assistant a set of MCP tools for your WordPress site: read and write posts and pages, add images, and use what your plugins share. The tools reference lists them all, and WordPress MCP server explains how it connects.

Posts and pages (write, edit, publish, schedule, categories and tags), images (add from a link or straight from your chat, alt text, featured images), WooCommerce products, stock, coupons and orders (packing lists, customer notes, completing orders), Yoast SEO fields, scores and noindex, ACF text fields, WPForms forms, Fluent Forms entries and notifications, redirects and Duplicator backups, block-editor layouts, your own content types with their own fields, Elementor pages and global styles, and 125+ familiar WP-CLI commands: plugin, theme and WordPress updates, users and roles, settings, menus, cache, cron and the database, with no SSH. On paid plans, your theme’s files too. Plus most of what your plugins share through the WordPress Abilities API or a REST API. The cookbook has tested recipes for each.

Elementor is tested: create pages, change headings, text, buttons and images, save templates, and adjust global colours and fonts. Other builders that share abilities can be reached, but we haven’t tested them yet. Pages can also be built from the block editor’s core blocks: headings, paragraphs, columns, buttons, lists, images and more.

Yes, if they share abilities through the WordPress Abilities API or have a REST API: your assistant finds them by itself. Settings, users and bulk changes stay closed. WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, ACF, Elementor, WPForms, Fluent Forms, Redirection and Duplicator are tested by us; Plugins shows the rest and how well we know each one.

Yes: AI Puffer, free on WordPress.org. Then connect your assistant in AI Puffer › Settings › Connections › Manage my website. Website management also needs a free AI Puffer Cloud account with a verified email; setting it up takes a minute.

No. If you can install a plugin, you can connect your assistant. It all happens in wp-admin and in ChatGPT or Claude: no tokens, config files or server settings to deal with. Sign-in runs on AI Puffer’s relay, not on your server, and the safety limits come already set.

The step-by-step guide takes about five minutes.

Yes, any host, unless a firewall or bot protection blocks AI Puffer’s relay. Your site needs to be reachable on the internet over HTTPS, because your assistant’s requests come through AI Puffer’s relay. A site that runs only on your own computer needs a public address first, for example through a tunnel.

Yes. Connect each site to the same AI Puffer account, and tell your assistant which one to work on. Or ask it to run the same WP-CLI commands on up to 50 of them at once, such as a plugin update everywhere, as one background job. All your sites share one monthly allowance.

When your assistant asks for a post, that post goes to your assistant, under its own privacy terms. AI Puffer’s records keep what happened (which tool, on what, with which result), not your pages or your chats. Your site keeps its own activity log. The details are in Privacy and data and our privacy policy.

No. AI Puffer started as a chatbot plugin and still includes it: an AI chatbot for your visitors, a content writer, automations, AI forms and images, all on the same account. See Inside the plugin.
