Frontman puts an AI agent beside a live view of your site. Open <code>/frontman</code>, describe the change you want, and the agent takes action with built-in tools while you review the result in context.
Frontman is closer to an editor than a chatbot or content generator. It is built for real editing tasks: updating content, changing blocks, adjusting Elementor pages, managing menus, inspecting templates, changing safe site options, and working with WooCommerce data when WooCommerce is active.
No code editor. No terminal. Just an AI agent workflow alongside a live page preview.
What the agent can do:
<ul>
<li>Create, edit, and delete posts and pages</li>
<li>Insert, update, and rearrange Gutenberg blocks</li>
<li>Edit Elementor pages with Elementor-aware tools and versioning</li>
<li>Manage WooCommerce products, orders, customers, coupons, shipping, taxes, reports, settings, and store data when WooCommerce is active</li>
<li>Update navigation menus and menu items</li>
<li>Read and change safe site options such as title, tagline, permalinks, and homepage settings</li>
<li>Inspect and update Additional CSS for the active theme</li>
<li>Browse block templates, template parts, widgets, and theme settings</li>
</ul>
The important part is the feedback loop. The AI agent can change the site, then you can see the result in the same workflow instead of jumping between admin screens and browser tabs.
Who it’s for:
Developers who want faster iteration. Designers and content editors who want to make changes without opening an IDE. Store owners and site managers who would rather describe the task than dig through admin screens.
Open source:
The Frontman plugin is open source under GPLv2 or later. The code is available on <a href="https://github.com/frontman-ai/frontman" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.
Early release – help us improve it:
This is an experimental release. It works, but it hasn’t been tested across every theme, page builder, and hosting setup. We’re looking for users to try it and share feedback. <a href="https://github.com/frontman-ai/frontman/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">Open an issue</a> or join the conversation on GitHub.
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services provided by Frontman AI:
Frontman Client (app.frontman.sh) 
The chat interface is loaded from <code>https://app.frontman.sh</code>. This serves the JavaScript and CSS that power the in-browser UI.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <a href="https://app.frontman.sh" rel="nofollow ugc">https://app.frontman.sh</a></li>
<li>Provider: Frontman AI</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://frontman.sh/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://frontman.sh/terms</a></li>
</ul>
Frontman API (api.frontman.sh) 
The plugin connects via WebSocket to <code>wss://api.frontman.sh</code> for AI agent communication, sending tool results and receiving agent responses. Your site content and, when you use WooCommerce tools, store data such as products, orders, customers, coupons, reports, and settings are sent to this service when the agent processes requests.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <a href="https://api.frontman.sh" rel="nofollow ugc">https://api.frontman.sh</a></li>
<li>Provider: Frontman AI</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://frontman.sh/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://frontman.sh/terms</a></li>
</ul>
AI Model Providers 
The Frontman API routes requests to third-party AI model providers (such as Anthropic and OpenAI) to generate responses. Content from your site may be included in prompts sent to these providers.
Loading the Frontman UI requests hosted client assets. Your site content is not sent to the Frontman API or model providers until you actively use the chat interface and submit a message.

WordPress has a wonderful editing model with its “draft workflow”, where writers can save unpublished drafts, preview posts, submit drafts for review from a superior, and even schedule a post’s publication. This is all that most writers and teams ever needed for a blog. WordPress has extended beyond blogs, and has grown to be the preferred platform for any person or team writing for the web. While WordPress has evolved, its editing model has not, and this editing model is limited. Once a post is published, edits cannot follow the same workflow. That’s where this plugin comes in. This plugin has two powerful features, the ability to clone posts and the ability to replace posts with another, which combined, allow writers to leverage core’s “draft workflow” for published posts.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create clones of existing posts. The replicas are created as drafts, and have all the same data (including terms and post meta) as the original post. The only things not cloned are child posts (which include revisions, attachments, and other posts)</li>
<li>Replace one post with another. The replaced post becomes a revision of itself, the replacing post is essentially deleted, and you’re left with the replacing post’s data with the post ID and slug of the replaced post.</li>
</ul>
Combined, these features give writers a pseudo-“fork and merge” model. Published posts can be cloned, the clones edited as any other draft can be, then the originals replaced with the clones.
Individually, these features are equally as useful. You don’t need to use the “fork and merge” model to take advantage of this plugin.

Clone & Replace

Gives you the ability to clone posts, and replace posts. Together, you have a very powerful tool for a fork/merge editing model.
