Every prompt flows through WordPress core, every provider is a Connector you already configured under **Settings Connectors**, and every action it exposes is a registered Ability that other plugins (and other AI agents) can call. There is no other plugin on wordpress.org that builds on `wp_ai_client_prompt()` today. Chagency is the reference case: a small, native chatbot that proves the framework works, ships zero vendor SDKs, and grows alongside the Abilities API into a real agent. It runs in the WordPress admin and, when you turn it on, on every page of your public site. The name (chat + ai + ency) is meant as a small bridge between the new AI primitives shipped with WordPress and the broader world of chat and agents. It starts as a chatbot today and turns into an agent tomorrow, without a rename. ### 🪨 Built on WordPress, period Chagency relies entirely on what WordPress 7 ships in core: * `wp_ai_client_prompt()`, the AI Client API. * `wp_get_connectors()`, the Connectors API. * `wp_register_ability()` / `wp_get_ability()`, the Abilities API. * `@wordpress/components`, `@wordpress/element`, `@wordpress/boot`, the Gutenberg toolkit. That is the entire dependency surface. **No bundled AI vendor SDKs, no third-party JavaScript libraries beyond the Gutenberg stack, no telemetry, no phone-home.** The plugin stays small on purpose: fewer moving parts means less friction, fewer security holes, less to break when WordPress, browsers, or providers change. You will need at least one AI provider plugin (e.g. _AI Provider for Anthropic_, _AI Provider for Google_, _AI Provider for OpenAI_) to talk to a model. That is WordPress 7’s architecture: providers are separate plugins that register a Connector. They are not a Chagency dependency. 💡 **Tip:** For the smoothest setup, install [AI Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-engine/). It registers every AI provider it manages as a Connector, so a single configuration covers all your WordPress 7 AI plugins (including Chagency). Every request then flows through one clean, unified system. ### 🪄 What you get * A floating chat panel pinned to the bottom-right of every page (admin and / or public site, controlled by two independent toggles). * A single settings page under **Settings Chagency**, with the bare minimum: where to show the chatbot, the chat title, the greeting, the system instruction, and the model preference. * Live updates: flipping a toggle in Settings shows or hides the launcher immediately on the same page, no reload needed. * Per-provider **Test** buttons that fire a canary prompt and report round-trip time. * Conversation persistence in your browser’s localStorage, scoped per user. * Placeholder expansion (`{user_name}`, `{site_name}`, `{current_page}`, `{current_url}`,`{ user_role}`, `{site_url}`) so the assistant always knows who and where it is. * Exposed as an Ability (`chagency/send-message`) so other plugins, MCP clients, and AI agents can invoke Chagency directly. ### 🚀 Getting started 1. Install and activate **Chagency**. 2. Install and configure at least one AI provider plugin under **Settings Connectors**( we recommend [AI Engine](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-engine/), which exposes all its providers as Connectors at once). 3. Click the chat launcher in the bottom-right of any admin page and start talking. 4. Want it on the public site too? Open **Settings Chagency** and flip the second toggle. ### 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions #### Why “Chagency”? It’s a portmanteau of _chat_, _AI_, and a bit of _agent_. Not “agency” in the sense of a marketing shop. The plugin starts as a minimal chatbot for the new WordPress 7 AI framework and grows alongside the Abilities API into a true agent. #### Does it need WordPress 7? Yes. It uses `wp_ai_client_prompt()`, `wp_get_connectors()`, and the Abilities API, all added in WordPress 7.0. On older versions it refuses to boot and tells you why. #### Which AI providers are supported? Whatever you configure under **Settings Connectors**. Chagency is provider-agnostic. Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, or any third-party Connector are treated equally. #### Can visitors on the front end use it? Yes. Open **Settings Chagency** and turn on _Show on the public site_. The chat then appears for every visitor, signed in or not. #### Does it store my conversations? No. Conversations live only in your own browser (localStorage, per user). Hit _Reset_ in the panel to clear them. Nothing is stored server-side. #### Can I use it as a building block in my own plugin? Yes. The `chagency/send-message` Ability is registered on `wp_abilities_api_init` and can be called with `wp_get_ability( 'chagency/send-message' )->execute( array(' message' => '...' ) )`. ### Source code The unminified React / JavaScript source is shipped inside the plugin folder under` src/`, alongside the compiled output in `build/`. Public source repository: https:// github.com/jordymeow/chagency To rebuild from source: ``` pnpm install && pnpm run build ``` The build is `@wordpress/scripts` (webpack) with no custom plugins or transforms. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Chagency” is open source software.
