Know your website
Adam can learn the website he works on
Build a private knowledge base from your site’s content and selected resources. When visitors ask questions, Adam retrieves the relevant material and answers in the context of your business, documentation, services and content, not just general model knowledge.
Choose the content
You decide which pages, posts and resources become part of Adam’s knowledge base.
Build the knowledge base
Content is broken into searchable chunks with semantic embeddings, so Adam finds meaning instead of just matching keywords.
Answer in context
When a visitor asks, relevant material is retrieved so answers reflect your actual site.
Help your visitors
An assistant on every page
Add Adam as a floating chat widget or place him anywhere with a shortcode. Visitors get answers about your site at the moment they need them.
- Floating widget or shortcode placement
- Image and vision input
- Knowledge base retrieval: basic in Lite, advanced in Pro
- Session memory and richer configuration in Pro
AI Site Manager · Pro
The chatbot talks to your visitors. AI Site Manager works with you.
A separate management workspace for administrators. Tell Adam what you want in plain English and, depending on the permissions you grant, he can take permitted WordPress actions under your publishing rules.
Content
Read, create and edit pages and posts, and work with categories, tags, authors and featured images.
Imagery
Generate images and place them into content, inspect real Media Library images with vision, and create new imagery from references.
Page styling and scripts
Create page-specific CSS. Page JavaScript can be proposed only when you explicitly enable it.
Larger builds
Build substantial multi-section pages through a coordinated job system, with previews before anything touches a live page.
Focused context
Works on the pages and posts you select, with bounded conversation context for follow-up instructions.
MCP interface
An authenticated MCP interface for compatible external development and AI clients.
Publishing modes
- Draft OnlyAdam prepares drafts. Nothing goes live.
- Approval RequiredLive changes wait for your explicit approval.
- Automatic PublishingOnly when you deliberately enable it.
Permissions are enforced by the server, not the AI model. Site Manager starts conservatively with most write permissions off.
Design Studio · Pro
Design with Claude
Claude acts as design architect and front-end planner while OpenAI handles generated imagery. It inspects the target page and visual references, sets the design direction, and assembles content, CSS and imagery into one reviewable proposal.
Talk it through
Discuss the design with Claude before anything is built.
Draft the instruction
Claude writes the actual build instruction, and you revise the plan until it’s right.
Plan and generate
Content, CSS and imagery are planned together, and generated artwork is reviewed before use.
Review the proposal
The agreed design arrives as one proposal for you to review.
Image generation uses OpenAI image models, even when Claude is the design architect.

Privacy and controls
Powerful, on your terms
Server-enforced permissions
What Adam can do is decided by administrator settings enforced on the server, not by the AI model.
Conservative by default
Site Manager starts with most write permissions off. Live changes can require your approval, and automatic publishing is something you switch on deliberately.
JavaScript is guarded
Page JavaScript is off by default, requires acknowledgement to enable, and is proposed for review rather than quietly added to a live site.
Where requests go
AI requests go to the provider you select. Lite sends visitor prompts, optional indexed content and vision inputs to OpenAI as needed. Lite itself doesn’t collect visitor analytics or store chat logs, and uploaded vision images aren’t written to your WordPress database or server by the plugin.
Requirements
- Ask Adam Lite
- WordPress 5.8+, PHP 7.4+, tested up to WordPress 7.0, and your own OpenAI API key.
- Ask Adam Pro
- Credentials for the providers behind the features you enable. Design with Claude needs an Anthropic credential; image generation needs OpenAI access.
