Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Read and search your theme/plugin files, and propose edits — you always see a diff and approve it before anything is written
  • Write your posts/pages/product descriptions, and create/update/trash them for you (with your confirmation)
  • Manage categories and tags
  • Install, activate, deactivate, or delete plugins
  • Answer questions about your site by looking things up itself — active theme, installed plugins, users, content — instead of guessing
  • Search the web and search for images (optional — requires a Brave Search or Tavily API key in Settings / MAIA)
  • Generate images from a text prompt (when your connected AI provider supports it) and save them straight to your media library, then insert them into the…
  • Show you any image it has a link to — found on the web, or anywhere else — directly in a card, with the same insert/featured-image actions
  • Make HTTP requests to external APIs on your behalf (GET/HEAD run immediately, anything that writes always asks first)
  • Remember facts about you across conversations, and recall, search, or forget them on request
  • Find an earlier conversation for you by keyword, and jump straight to it
  • Contemplate life and the Universe 🙂
