The Agent Tab: A Plain Guide
Read this first: the agent changes your live site. Read its reply before you treat a change as done. If a change is wrong, click Undo under that reply.
Where to find it
- Open Site agent in the dashboard sidebar.
- Choose a site from the menu at the top. Only sites that have finished building are listed. If none have, the menu reads "No finished websites yet".
- Type what you want. Press Enter or click Send. Shift+Enter starts a new line.
View site at the top opens the chosen site. A message can be up to 4000 characters.
Chats
Your first message starts a chat, named after that message. Chats are saved. Recent chats lists the latest. View all chats shows the rest. + New Chat starts a new one.
Effort
Pick one of two buttons under the message box before you send:
- Normal · small text and photo edits: standard rate.
- Careful · whole sections and layouts: double rate.
Credits
The top bar shows your agent credits left. A new account gets 100,000 agent credits once.
- A reply costs one credit per token the agent used. On Careful it costs two per token.
- Each new image the agent creates costs one more credit.
- Undo costs nothing.
Each finished reply shows how many tokens it used. With no credits left, the agent does not take new requests and shows "You're out of agent credits." The Buy credits button does not sell credits yet.
What it can do
Look at your site
- List your pages, services, service areas and blog posts, with their status.
- Read a live page: title, description, headings, menu links and whether images have descriptions.
- Take a screenshot of a live page and look at it. Up to 2 per reply.
Change your site
- Edit fields the Website Editor shows: text, business details, and the SEO title, SEO description, Canonical URL, Hide from search engines and Social share image of a page.
- Change the Theme colours and fonts.
- Replace the main menu. It replaces the whole menu, so list every item you want to keep.
- Create a page, service, service-area page or blog post. New ones are saved as drafts unless you ask it to publish.
Images
- Use a photo already in your site's media library.
- Create new images, up to 2 per reply, when image creation is turned on for your site.
- Use your own photos: click Attach image. Up to 3 photos per message, JPG, PNG or WEBP, under 8 MB each. They are uploaded to your site's media library before the message is sent.
Example requests
| Area | Example |
|---|---|
| Text | "Change the homepage headline to …" |
| SEO | "Write a new SEO description for the About page." |
| Theme | "Make the main colour darker." |
| Menu | "Set the menu to Home, Services, About, Contact." |
| New content | "Add a blog post about … and keep it as a draft." |
| Photos | "Use the photo I attached as the homepage hero image." |
While it works
The reply lists each step as it runs, such as "Looking up site fields" or "Updating site content". A Stop button shows until it finishes.
Stop ends the request after the current step. A step that is already writing is finished first. If a change landed before it stopped, the reply says so and offers Undo.
When it is done, Tool activity lists every step. If the agent cleared the site cache, the reply says the change is live now.
Undo
Before its first change in a reply, the agent saves a copy of your site settings, the fields on your pages, services and service areas, and your theme files. Undo puts that copy back. The button shows "Rolling back…" and the reply is then marked Rolled back. Each reply can be rolled back once.
Undo does not remove a page, service, service-area page or post the agent created. To remove one, delete it in WP Admin.
Checks it makes
- After each write, it reads the value back to confirm it landed.
- It will not write a field the site does not list as editable.
- Text it writes for a new page or post is checked for made-up numbers and time promises.
If something goes wrong
- "The agent couldn't sign in to your site's WordPress." Check the WordPress Access card on the site's page, then try again.
- "The agent hit a problem and stopped." Try again in a moment. If it changed something first, Undo is shown.
- "Lost the connection. Reload to see the result." Reload the page. The request keeps running on our side.
To use your own AI tool instead, see Connect your own agent. The Connect your own agent box on this page has a Copy guide link button for that guide.
