Your own AI, on your own server. Workspace connects to a WordPress site you already run, and turns it into a private AI app. Every model your site has keys for — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, OpenRouter and more — billed to you, called by your server. Scan a QR code and you're in. AN AI CHAT APP THAT HAPPENS TO BE PRIVATE Use it the way you already use one: ask anything, switch model mid-conversation, generate images, keep everything in folders with search across the lot. Nothing passes through us, because there is no "us" in the request path. A WORDPRESS THAT ANSWERS BACK Turn on WordPress Tools and it works the site itself: draft and publish posts, analyse SEO, pull your traffic. Anything that would change something stops and shows you the exact tool and its arguments first. THEN GO FURTHER Knowledge bases, MCP servers and your own functions, connected in a tap. ALSO Dark and light with five accents, stored per WordPress user so they follow you. Stop, edit, regenerate or branch any message. Export any conversation as Markdown. Multiple sites. iPhone and iPad. Requires a self-hosted WordPress 6.0 or later site with the AI Engine plugin, and an administrator account on it. Workspace for WordPress is made by Meow Apps and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the WordPress Foundation or Automattic.
