Chagency

Chagency is built directly on the AI Client that shipped in WordPress 7.0: wp_ai_client_prompt(), Connectors, and the Abilities API. Every prompt flows through WordPress core, every provider is a Connector you already configured under Settings → Connectors, and the assistant can call the abilities your site registers. That last part is what makes it an agent rather than a chat box. Tick the abilities you want it to reach, and the model can use them mid-conversation to answer you: WordPress converts each one into a tool the model understands, runs it, and checks that ability's own permissions first. Ask "what's my site running on?" and it goes and looks, instead of guessing. 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.
