Respira is an independent AI infrastructure layer designed specifically for WordPress, WooCommerce, and 17 popular page builders. It acts as a secure and intelligent bridge, enabling AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, and Codex to interact with and modify live WordPress sites safely and efficiently.
A core tenet of Respira is its "duplicate-first" safety model. When an AI agent is instructed to make a change, Respira first creates a duplicate of the target page. The AI then performs edits on this copy using the page builder's native elements, ensuring that the live site remains untouched. Users can review these changes within WordPress before approving them for publication. Every modification is snapshotted, providing a 90-day rollback capability, and a signed audit trail records who changed what and when. This human-in-the-loop approach minimizes risks associated with AI-driven content generation and site modifications.
Respira boasts extensive compatibility with 17 major WordPress page builders, including Gutenberg (and the Site Editor), Elementor, Divi (4 & 5), Bricks, WPBakery, Oxygen, Breakdance, Beaver Builder, Flatsome, Brizy, Visual Composer, Thrive Architect, Spectra, Kadence Blocks, GenerateBlocks, GreenShift, and SeedProd. This native integration means AI edits are applied in the builder's own format, preserving the site's structure and allowing human editors to continue working seamlessly within their preferred builder.
For e-commerce sites, the WooCommerce add-on extends AI capabilities with 104 dedicated tools for managing product catalogs, stock, pricing, orders, and storefront design intelligence. This allows store owners to perform complex updates with simple natural language commands, bypassing manual wp-admin navigation.
Key features and products within the Respira ecosystem include:
- Respira AER: A centralized AI workspace within the dashboard for managing and interacting with multiple WordPress sites simultaneously. It allows users to issue commands to a fleet of sites and define the AI's authority.
- Respira Exhale: An HTML to WordPress converter that transforms raw HTML files into native page builder blocks in seconds, streamlining design-to-WordPress workflows.
- Murmur: A client feedback tool that allows clients to pin notes directly to page elements without needing a login. AI agents can then process and resolve these notes on duplicate pages.
- Resonance: Provides persistent site memory and enforced rules, allowing users to define conventions and protect specific pages or elements from AI modifications.
- Art Direction: Ensures design system compliance by enforcing palette, typography, spacing, and other design rules during AI-driven content creation.
- Skills and Playbooks: A marketplace of 55 open-source, ready-made AI workflows for tasks like site audits, fixes, and publishing, each with logging and rollback.
- Vulnerability Scanner: A read-only tool that checks connected sites for known vulnerabilities and malware, offering AI-generated fix prompts.
- White Label: An add-on for agencies to brand the client dashboard with their own logo, colors, and domain.
- Earn: A feature that tracks the actual AI cost per site and per task, enabling agencies to accurately price client jobs.
- CLI and SDK: Tools for developers to build custom add-ons and integrate Respira with other agent platforms.
Respira emphasizes privacy and security, with content flowing directly between the site and the AI, never through Respira's servers. Accounts are EU-hosted, and the product is built by a single founder who provides direct support. It operates on the user's existing AI subscription (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.), eliminating additional AI usage fees.
