ChatGPT for Your WordPress Site

You already trust AI for ideas and drafts.

You want that same conversational flow to control real WordPress operations.

Your call to adventure: stop copy-paste loops and let AI act safely on the site itself.

Featured Scenario: Accessibility Sprint

AI conversation and website workflow visual

Before: A “quick” accessibility pass turns into a long manual audit and rework session.

After: AI scans, proposes fixes, and routes changes to an approval queue in one conversational flow.

Ordinary World (Before)

  • Great prompts, but manual implementation.
  • Context switching between chat and WordPress admin.
  • No structured safety net for direct edits.

Transformed World (After)

  • 88 tools available in context when you need them.
  • Natural-language requests map to real WordPress actions.
  • Duplicate-first approvals protect every publish decision.
01

The Gap

Great AI ideas still require manual WordPress execution.

02

The Bridge

WebMCP exposes site tools directly in your AI conversation.

03

The Mastery

You iterate quickly while staying inside guardrails.

The Mental Model

ChatGPT gives you output you paste manually. Respira applies changes directly to your site with a safety layer.

AI edits duplicates first, then waits for approval before publishing live changes.

Think of it as ChatGPT with system-level undo and approval built into WordPress operations.

What "AI Tools" Means Here

Respira gives the model 88 WordPress-specific tools, including pages/posts, media, menus, SEO, accessibility, users/comments, and WooCommerce operations.

Unlike generic plugins that call external services, these tools operate on your specific WordPress site structure.

  • Edit pages and posts
  • Upload and manage media
  • Analyze and fix SEO/accessibility
  • Manage menus, users, comments, and taxonomy
  • Use WooCommerce tooling where enabled

Browser AI vs ChatGPT

The conversation feels familiar: natural language requests, iterative follow-up, and AI deciding which tools to call.

Under the hood, Respira uses WebMCP so Claude/Gemini can discover and execute site abilities in Chrome 146+.

Tool Discovery Concept

  1. Browser checks for WebMCP abilities on the site.
  2. Respira tool metadata is exposed.
  3. Tool descriptions and schemas are loaded into model context.
  4. AI can execute operations with permission and safety controls.

Prompts You Can Use

Accessibility

Scan homepage for WCAG issues, add alt text to product images, fix heading structure.

Content

Update About bio, replace year across site, add sections to homepage.

SEO

Check missing meta descriptions and improve heading semantics.

Media

Compress images, update captions, and upload new product media.

Menus

Add/remove links and reorder navigation safely.

Wow Moments

  1. Builder awareness: Respira understands builder structures, not only HTML blobs.
  2. Batch operations: one request can process dozens of pages with one approval queue.
  3. Site context memory: AI quickly adapts to your menu and page organization patterns.

Safety: Why It Is Not Regular ChatGPT

This is required because website mistakes can impact uptime, SEO, and conversion flow.

  • Every edit is on a copy first
  • You review exact diffs before publish
  • Rollback is preserved after approval

What It Doesn't Do (Yet)

  • Not every page builder is supported
  • Browser path requires Chrome 146+
  • Manual approvals are intentional and required in many flows
  • Complex edge cases may need manual follow-up

Getting Started

  1. Install Respira plugin.
  2. Use Chrome 146+.
  3. Visit your site.
  4. Open Claude or Gemini.
  5. Ask: "What can you do with this WordPress site?"
  6. Start with a small task and review the duplicate.

Built by One Person

Respira was built by Mihai, a solo founder from Brașov, Romania.

After 22 years building products for others, Mihai finally had the tools to build what he'd always wanted: a bridge between WordPress (43% of the web) and modern AI.

Not because he became a "real developer." He's what he calls a "gringo vibe coder"—building with AI through feel, not formal training.

Which makes sense when you think about it.

Someone using AI to build... is building AI tools for WordPress.

The name comes from Latin: re-spirare—to breathe again.

The philosophy: simple systems that breathe.

Not complex dashboards. Not hustle-culture "10x your output" bullshit. Just: duplicate before you edit. Approve when ready. Don't break things.

This isn't backed by venture capital. No team of engineers. One person, building in public, driven by a simple belief: AI should make WordPress better—not replace human craft, but amplify it.

Better accessibility. Cleaner code. Faster workflows.

If Respira saves you time or fixes something that matters—that's the whole point.
