WordPress Agent AI Bot

You can use the WordPress Agent (@wordpressagentbot, currently in testing) to manage your WordPress.com sites through conversation in apps like Telegram. This guide explains how to connect your account and use the WordPress Agent to publish posts, check stats, find domains, and more

To start using WordPress Agent, connect your WordPress.com account through Telegram by following these steps:

1. If you don’t already have a Telegram account, sign up through Telegram.
2. Click this link to start a conversation with @wordpressagentbot on Telegram. Or, scan the QR code below.
3. Send your first message. WordPress Agent will reply with a login link.
4. Click the login link and log in to your WordPress.com account.

Your account is now connected. You can start managing your sites from Telegram.

If you do not have a WordPress.com account yet, WordPress Agent can help you create one. Start a conversation with @wordpressagentbot in Telegram, and WordPress Agent walks you through account creation and setting up your first site.

You can use WordPress Agent to create content, check stats, find domains, and manage your sites through a Telegram conversation.

You can create and edit posts, pages, and media by describing what you want in plain language. For example, you can ask it to:

• “Write a post about our new summer menu.”
• “Update the About page to mention our new location.”
• “Brainstorm post ideas based on my recent content.”

You can generate AI images or upload your own photos directly in the chat. For example:

• Ask it to “Generate an image of a coffee shop with outdoor seating.”
• Send a photo from your camera roll to your conversation to upload it to your site’s media library.

Ask WordPress Agent for stats on any connected site. For example, send “Show me my stats” to see visits, visitors, posts published, and subscriber counts.

Send a message like “Is yourgroovydomain.com available?” to check whether a domain name is available. WordPress Agent shows pricing and provides a link to purchase the domain on WordPress.com. Learn more about registering a domain.

WordPress Agent includes tools for managing your connected sites. For example:

• “Switch to my other site.”
• “Take a screenshot of my site.”
• “Search the web for free WordPress themes for restaurants.”

You can send instructions to the WordPress Agent by email. To enable email access for the WordPress Agent on a site, follow these steps:

1. Visit your hosting dashboard.
2. Click the three dots (⋮) in the action menu next to a site and select Settings.
3. Click the “AI tools” section.
4. Toggle “Enable AI agent email address” on:

Once enabled, the AI agent’s email address appears below the toggle. The address looks like agent+<unique-string>@post.wordpress.com.

Enabling email access also enables Post by Email. Turning the AI agent email setting off deletes the Post by Email address, so both Post by Email and the AI agent address stop working.

• Add to contacts: Download a contact card (a .vcf file) to save the WordPress Agent’s email address as a contact.
• Regenerate address: Invalidate the current address — for example, if you have shared it by mistake — and replace it with a new one. The previous address stops working immediately.

Send a message to the AI agent email address from any email account. The WordPress Agent acts on the site connected to that address and replies to the email account you sent from. For example, you can:

• Forward an article you want to publish as a draft.
• Send a list of changes to your About page.
• Ask the WordPress Agent to check your site stats.

WordPress Agent has a daily message limit that depends on your WordPress.com plan:

• Free sites: 40 messages per day.
• Any paid plan: 500 messages per day.

When you reach your daily limit, WordPress Agent lets you know in the conversation. Free site users will receive a link to the WordPress.com plans page to upgrade.

WordPress Agent remembers your preferences across conversations. You can set communication style, workflow preferences, or personality adjustments through the chat.

WordPress Agent stores preferences in your WordPress.com account. There is no settings page to view or edit stored preferences. To change a preference, ask WordPress Agent in the conversation.

On the Telegram mobile app, you can speak to WordPress Agent using voice messages instead of typing. WordPress Agent processes your voice message and responds in text.

Once you connect your WordPress.com account, WordPress Agent can access all WordPress.com sites associated with your account. Your user role on each site determines which actions WordPress Agent can perform.

Automattic has access to chat transcripts between you and WordPress Agent.
