Frequently Asked Questions

How much does this cost?

Agenistrator itself is free. However, it requires an API key from an LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, or OpenAI), which typically charge based on usage. Costs vary by provider and model - more capable models generally cost more per message. Start with a spending limit on your provider account to avoid surprises.

Will this break my website?

Agenistrator is designed with safety in mind. By default, only read-only tools are enabled - the assistant can view and search your content but cannot make changes. Write tools (that create, edit, or delete content) must be explicitly enabled by you. The assistant also respects WordPress permissions - it can only do what your user account is allowed to do.

Can I undo changes the assistant makes?

Changes made by Agenistrator are the same as changes you would make manually through WordPress. Posts and pages support WordPress revisions, so you can revert content changes. For other operations, consider making a backup before enabling write tools for the first time.

What AI models does this plugin support?

Agenistrator works with any compatible model from OpenRouter, Anthropic (Claude), or OpenAI. Available models are automatically discovered from each provider. The plugin filters out models that don’t support the features it needs, showing you only compatible options.

Why isn’t the assistant giving good results?

More capable models generally provide better results for complex tasks. If you’re using a smaller or free-tier model and experiencing issues, try switching to a more powerful model. The quality of your results is directly related to the capabilities of the AI model you choose.

Semantic search finds content by meaning rather than just keywords. For example, searching for “vacation photos” could find a post titled “Our Trip to Hawaii” even though the exact words don’t match. This feature is optional and requires an embedding model from OpenAI or OpenRouter (Anthropic doesn’t offer embedding models). Semantic search is disabled by default to avoid surprise API costs.

Is my data safe?

Your API keys, chat history, and content embeddings are stored in your WordPress database and are not transmitted externally by the plugin. When you chat with the assistant, your messages and relevant context are sent to your configured AI provider. The plugin also fetches model metadata from models.dev and tokenizer data (both cached locally).

What permissions does the assistant have?

The assistant can only perform actions that:

  1. You have enabled in the tool settings (read-only tools are on by default, write tools are off)
  2. Your WordPress user account has permission to do
  3. Are implemented as tools in the plugin

How do I get started?

  1. Sign up for an account with OpenRouter, Anthropic, or OpenAI
  2. Get your API key from their dashboard
  3. Go to Agenistrator > Settings in WordPress
  4. Add your provider and enter your API key
  5. Select a chat model and start chatting!

Tip: OpenRouter gives you access to hundreds of models from multiple providers with a single API key.

Can I use multiple AI providers?

Yes! You can configure multiple providers and switch between them. This is useful for comparing models or using different providers for different tasks.

How do I report a problem?

You can generate a diagnostic report directly from the chat widget. Reports include your chat thread, site info, and configuration (API keys are automatically excluded). You can download reports for your own review or optionally send them to help developers fix issues. For direct support, use the WordPress.org support forum.
