Hi,
Mihai here from Brașov. Father of two, building Respira between school runs and bedtime. I wanted to write and share what we've been up to.
It's been three months since I started building this thing. Twenty-three of you bought launch licenses (18 Starter, 5 Agency). 176 WordPress sites are now using Respira. 949 pages edited. 31,797 lines of code written by AI through Respira for WordPress. Every time I look at those numbers I have to pinch myself.
That's surreal to me. Thank you 🙏
I wanted to share what we shipped this month — the features, the updates, the fixes — and some unexpected things happening around Respira that I think you'll want to know about.
What We Built This Month
Comprehensive About page with real use cases
No marketing fluff. We built six actual scenarios based on who you are and what you need — so you can quickly see if Respira fits your workflow:
→ respira.press/about
Divi 5 support + migration co-pilot
Divi 5 launched. It's a complete rewrite from modules to blocks, and we've been working to keep Respira in sync. Respira now supports the new block system and gives you a migration co-pilot. It complements the official Divi migration tool but adds something crucial: safety. Test on duplicates first, approve what works, keep what doesn't. Don't auto-convert everything and hope. Test. Review. Approve.
→ respira.press/divi
WebMCP support for Chrome 146+ (this is big)
88 AI tools are now available directly in Chrome beta. This is brand new browser MCP technology — and it's a big deal.
The beauty of it: you don't need to install the WordPress WebMCP Abilities plugin that isn't even released yet. Just enable Experimental WebMCP in chrome://flags and you get all 88 tools (browser plus desktop) working with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP-compatible AI. One toggle. That's it.
This is the future. AI assistants talking directly to WordPress through the browser. No extra plugins, no complicated setup.

ADA/WCAG compliance scanner (experimental)
Stay away from accessibility fines. Right now it's experimental — a Chrome extension is coming soon. The exciting part: it gives you fixing prompts that are specific to your page builder. Not generic "fix this" advice, but concrete steps: "here's the Elementor widget update to make this WCAG compliant." Builder-aware, action-ready.
→ respira.press/addons/accessibility-scanner
Community launched — choose your channel
GitHub Discussions or Discord. Your choice.
Use GitHub for bugs, features, documentation — anything that should be searchable in six months. Use Discord for real-time help, quick questions, community vibes. The philosophy woven through both: give more than you receive. Socrates' triple filter: is it true? is it kind? is it useful? I'm excited to see what you build and how you use Respira.
WooCommerce Add-On
Product descriptions, SEO optimization, bulk updates across your store. Works with WooCommerce product pages just like regular WordPress pages — same duplicate-first workflow, same safety: create a copy, let AI work on it, review, approve.
→ respira.press/addons/woocommerce
Multiple bug fix patches shipped
Thanks to everyone who reported bugs! We shipped fixes for:
Elementor (all checks passed) · Bricks (all checks passed) · Oxygen (all checks passed) · Beaver Builder (all checks passed) · Visual Composer (all checks passed)
Your bug reports make Respira better for everyone. Keep them coming.
What's Happening
Some interesting conversations are starting to happen.
A few agencies have reached out asking about integrating Respira into their workflows. One major page builder wants to explore collaboration. I can't say much more until there's something concrete — but when there is, you'll hear it here first.
Why this matters to you: if these conversations turn into partnerships, it means better builder support, more features, faster development. A bigger team. More resources.
But right now? Still just me. 176 sites. 949 pages edited. 31,797 lines of code written through Respira. Still building between school runs. Nothing changes about my commitment to you.
Launch Licenses Running Out
63 Starter seats left (€19/year, locks in forever)
23 Agency seats left (€199/year, locks in forever)
After that, prices go to €19/month and €199/month.
Licenses are stackable. If you're getting value and want to grab more sites at launch pricing, now's the time. Once they're gone, pricing changes.
→ respira.press/pricing
Building something people actually use is different from building something alone and hoping. Every time someone emails saying Respira saved them hours on a client project, or helped them try AI for the first time without breaking their site, or made bulk operations actually manageable — that keeps me going more than any revenue number.
So thank you for using this thing. For reporting bugs. For suggesting features. For showing up in the community. You're helping me figure out what Respira becomes, and that means a lot.
Keep building. Don't break things. Use duplicates.
