Introducing Saddle: Control Your WordPress Site with AI
Meet Saddle — a free WordPress plugin that lets you run your site by simply asking. Connect the AI you already use, like Claude or ChatGPT, and then just say what you want: a new blog post, a fresh landing page, tidier photos. Your AI does the work, on your site, while you stay in charge of every change.
What can you do with it?
Think of Saddle as giving your AI a seat at your website — and yourself a very capable assistant. Ask things like:
- “Write a post about our summer sale.” — You get a finished draft on your site, ready to review and publish. No copy-pasting between apps.
- “Build a landing page for the new service.” — The page comes out matching your site’s colors and fonts, and you can still edit every part of it in WordPress yourself, just like any page you built by hand.
- “Fix the typos across the whole site.” — Hours of clicking through pages becomes one request.
- “Find a nice photo for this post.” — Your AI picks free stock photos, adds them to your library, and handles the photo credits for you.
- “Never touch the pricing page, and always use British spelling.” — Set your house rules once, and every AI you connect follows them in every conversation, without being reminded.
And your AI remembers your site between conversations — your preferences, your quirks, the things you’ve told it before — so it gets more useful the more you work together.
You stay in control
Letting an AI near your website should feel calm, not risky. So Saddle works the way you’d want a careful assistant to work:
- It starts in look-but-don’t-touch mode. Your AI can read your site but change nothing until you decide to allow more. You choose how much help you want, and you can change your mind anytime.
- Deleting always asks first. Nothing on your site is ever removed in one step — you see what would be deleted and confirm it, every single time.
- You see everything. A simple activity page shows what your AI did and when. One switch pauses all AI access instantly if you ever want a break.
- Your site stays yours. Everything happens directly between your website and your AI app — nothing about your site passes through our servers, ever.
Works with the AI you already use
Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI — and just about any other AI app that can connect to outside services. Saddle shows you exactly what to copy and paste for your app, and you’re connected in about two minutes. There’s a step-by-step guide with screenshots for every one of them.
Free on WordPress.org
Saddle is free — no account, no trial, no limits. Install it from your dashboard (Plugins → Add New, search “Saddle”), follow the Getting Started guide, and a couple of minutes later you’ll be talking to your website. If anything gets in the way, the docs cover the common bumps — and we’d love to hear what you build.
