ZIP AI – AI Website Builder & AI Agent

ZIP AI is a WordPress AI website builder and AI agent that lets you create, edit, and manage block-based WordPress websites by chatting inside your dashboard. Describe the website, page, section, or change you want, and ZIP AI can create layouts, copy, imagery, headers, footers, and pages using Gutenberg and Spectra blocks. The result remains editable in the WordPress Block Editor. Important: Theme Compatibility ZIP AI currently supports Astra and WordPress Block / Full Site Editing (FSE) themes for its full website-building functionality. Astra is currently the only supported classic WordPress theme. Other classic themes such as Divi and traditional or custom classic themes are not currently supported for the full website-building workflow. ZIP AI can build and edit websites using Astra or a compatible Block / FSE theme. Please confirm that your site uses Astra or a supported Block / FSE theme before installing and connecting ZIP AI. Build WordPress Websites With AI Tell ZIP AI what you want to build in plain language. It can help turn your instructions into WordPress pages, sections, content, and visual elements. Use ZIP AI to:

• Build pages and sections from prompts
• Generate layouts, headlines, copy, and calls to action
• Create supported headers, footers, and site templates
• Add relevant imagery
• Create home, about, service, landing, contact, and FAQ pages
• Refine generated pages through follow-up instructions
• Continue editing with native WordPress blocks

For example, ask ZIP AI to "build a homepage for my bakery," "add a services section," "rewrite this headline," or "create an FAQ section." AI Agent for WordPress ZIP AI also works as a conversational AI agent inside wp-admin. Describe what you want it to do, review the proposed action, and approve it before a supported change is applied. For supported operations, ZIP AI uses WordPress tools including the REST API, WP-CLI, and the Abilities API. Edit WordPress With AI Select a supported block in the WordPress Block Editor and describe the change you want. ZIP AI can help rewrite copy, improve headlines, add sections, update content, refine layouts, and adapt content while preserving the surrounding page structure. ZIP AI uses Gutenberg and Spectra blocks. It can also use WordPress Global Styles and Spectra design tokens so supported pages can follow your site's colors and typography. Site Awareness and Memory ZIP AI can use site context including posts, pages, options, metadata, and optional site scanning. Per-site memory and "Your Instructions" let you provide preferences for later conversations. Stored memory can be reviewed and cleared. You're Always in Control ZIP AI shows you proposed supported actions and asks for confirmation before applying them. Failed operations are reported rather than marked as successful. AI-generated content, edits, and command output can contain mistakes or unexpected results. Review each action before approving it. Account and SaaS Connection ZIP AI is a SaaS-connected plugin and requires a ZipWP account. After you choose to connect, ZipWP returns a short-lived, single-use token that WordPress verifies server-to-server before storing an access token. Code Snippets ZIP AI includes a Code Snippets manager for PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML. It is restricted to administrators with the manage_options capability, and new snippets are disabled by default. PHP snippets execute on your site. Validation is not a security sandbox; only run code you trust. Snippet code is stored on your own site and run via a PHP include of a plugin-managed file - the plugin never downloads executable code from a remote server to run it. When you test a snippet, it is validated in a separate, short-lived PHP process (PHP's -l lint with a time limit) so a syntax error cannot take your site down; this requires exec() on your host and is skipped when it is unavailable. Built by Brainstorm Force ZIP AI is built by Brainstorm Force, the team behind Astra, Spectra, Starter Templates, and other WordPress products.

Important: ZIP AI currently supports Astra and compatible Block / FSE themes. Before You Begin Confirm that your site uses Astra or a WordPress Block / Full Site Editing theme. Astra is currently the only supported classic theme; other classic themes such as Divi and traditional/custom classic themes are not currently supported for the full website-building workflow.
