RESPIRA FOR WORDPRESS
Your AI forgets your site every session. Resonance remembers.
First, an apology. If your inbox has started filing me under "shipping like a mad man, can't keep up with this", that is fair. It has been a creative sprint: lots of releases in one week, and i regret only the parts where you had to read a stack of changelogs. So here is everything worth knowing since i last wrote, in one email, no version numbers, and then i promise to disappear for a few days. More on that below.
IN THIS EDITION
Resonance, a memory for your site
Design tokens that cannot drift
Also shipped, in one breath
Show off with me
My birthday, your two gifts
Resonance: a plaster relief mandala with rings radiating outward, one inlaid in emerald
RESONANCE · SITE MEMORY
Until this week, every AI session met your site like a stranger: asked about your builder again, reached for raw HTML again, and occasionally redecorated the one page you told it, three chats ago, to leave alone. As of this week, your sites carry a memory. Tell your assistant something once, "always native modules, never stock photos, and never touch the checkout", and every future session starts already knowing it. From any AI you connect, because the memory lives in the site, not in the chat.
The part i am proudest of: rules are enforced, not suggested. Mark the checkout protected and the plugin refuses AI writes to it, server side, no matter how persuasive the prompt was. Your assistant can add protection during a conversation. Only you can remove it, from your dashboard. Included on Builder and Studio plans at no extra cost.
And one for the WordPress-watchers: core is preparing a native Knowledge feature, a shared home for site guidelines and memories, postponed from 7.1 and now aimed at 7.2. Resonance already speaks it. On sites running the early experiment, core's guidelines arrive in the same memory block your agents read. When WordPress gets there, your sites will already be fluent.

TRY THIS
Tell your assistant one preference and one boundary: "remember: our buttons are always green, and never use stock photos", then "never touch the checkout page, make that a rule". Now open a completely fresh chat and ask "what do you remember about this site?". That small moment of being recognized is the whole feature.
DESIGN TOKENS · A COLOR THE AI CANNOT PARAPHRASE
When Respira converts a design, your brand color used to be pasted as a value into every block it touched. Values copied into many places drift, because an AI regenerating a section produces something near enough, and near enough compounds into a slightly different website. Now, converted designs register colors and typography as named design tokens, in each builder's own global styles: the block editor and its family, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, Breakdance and Oxygen. The converted page references the token by name rather than keeping a copy, the agent never handles the raw value, and a color it never touches is a color it cannot paraphrase. Builders that keep no global style store register nothing, and say so honestly.
TRY THIS
Find any landing page HTML you admire, or ask your assistant to write one, then say: "convert this HTML into a native page for my builder, and register the colors and fonts as design tokens". Then open your builder's global styles and find your palette sitting there, named and reusable, while the new page references it instead of carrying copies. And if you want the guided version, the html-to-bricks, figma-to-elementor, and the whole migrate family of skills at respira.press/skills walk your assistant through conversions step by step, free on every plan.
ALSO SHIPPED, IN ONE BREATH
Full site editing is supported: block themes, site templates, patterns and navigation can all be edited by your assistant now. GreenShift joined the supported builders. Access profiles decide what a connected agent may do on your site, from everything to look-but-do-not-touch. Write receipts prove whether an edit actually changed anything. And the activity log is tamper-evident now, so nothing can be altered or deleted quietly.
SHOW OFF WITH ME
Are you happy with what Respira brings to your project? i want to start showing off, together. i am building a wall of the companies and sites that build with Respira, and i would love yours on it. Reply to this email with your logo and a link, and i will feature you. Thank you in advance. Let's show up for each other.

MY BIRTHDAY, YOUR GIFTS
Today, August 5th, i complete trip number 45 around the sun. Tradition says the gifts flow toward the birthday person. i have never been good at tradition, so this year they flow the other way: two gifts for you, both real, both this week.
GIFT ONE · A MONTH TO GIVE AWAY
Check your dashboard. If your site is connected and an agent has actually talked to it, there is exactly one wrapped box waiting there: a free month of Respira for WordPress, to give to someone else. Not for you. For a friend who would love editing their site by talking to it. i cover the month, you take the credit.
A wrapped gift with an emerald ribbon and a gold wax seal
See if you hold one. If the box is not there yet, connect a site, let your agent make its first call, and it appears on its own. No form to fill, no code to hunt.
GIFT TWO · €45 OFF, BECAUSE 45
A 45 euro banknote that does not exist, engraved with the Respira mandala
This one is for you, and the math is simple: 45 years, 45 euros. The code MIHAI45 takes €45 off the first year of any annual plan, Builder 5 and up. It works three ways: on a new plan, on a second plan stacked next to the one you have (site limits add up), or on an upgrade of your current plan. If you upgrade, the unused part of your current plan comes back to you prorated, on top of the €45. Not valid on monthly plans. Valid this week, through Sunday August 9th.

Use it on an annual plan
AND NOW, THE DISAPPEARING ACT
My family has gently confiscated my keyboard for the rest of the week. They cited precedent: five releases in seven days, apparently, is "not a personality, it is a cry for a vacation". So Respira and i are both taking some well needed R&R.
i will still read every email, because i always do. Replies resume next week, rested and possibly wiser, though at 45 i make no promises about the second part.
