Chagency

Chagency is the first chatbot to ship directly on top of the new AI Client introduced 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 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.
