Learn about ShieldFor WordPress owners done paying monthly for their own chatbot
PressBot runs your WordPress site with AI and never charges per message.
The free plugin puts an AI chatbot on your site. Pro adds an admin agent with 115 tools that writes posts, rewrites your SEO meta, runs your WooCommerce store, and blocks brute-force attacks — by chat, from your dashboard, or from Telegram.
You connect your own Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or Ollama Cloud key and pay that provider directly. Usage costs vary by model and traffic. PressBot takes no cut, adds no proxy, and charges nothing per message. Pro is $29 a year, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

What's new · v1.11.0 · September 2026
Your chatbot reads your site. Free.
PressBot 1.11.0 lets the free visitor chatbot answer from your published pages. It searches your posts and pages, answers from what they say, and links the page it used. Nothing to index, no extra service.
- Answers with sources — finds the right page, reads the whole thing when a list or steps are cut off, and links it so visitors can read more.
- You choose what it reads — pick content types in priority order. Password-protected, noindex, and excluded pages are never used.
- Every provider, your key — Claude, Gemini, GPT, DeepSeek, or Ollama Cloud. On for new installs; existing sites turn it on with one click.

We are not shipping novelty features for the sake of it. Recent releases keep pushing PressBot toward one job: becoming a more useful operator layer for real WordPress work.
Claude Sonnet 5.5, on launch day.
- Claude Sonnet 5.5 (
claude-sonnet-5-5) at $2/$10 per MTok, the same price as Sonnet 5, for visitor chat, the Admin Agent, and Shield. - New default for the Pro Admin Agent and the blog pipeline's Writer and Critic. Models you already chose stay put.
- PressBot sends the thinking settings Sonnet 5.5 requires, so visitor chat stays fast. Visitor default stays Haiku 4.5.
Your chatbot answers from your pages. Free.
- The free visitor chatbot searches your published pages, answers from them, and links its source.
- Choose content types in priority order; password-protected, noindex, and excluded pages stay out.
- Works with all five providers on your own key. On for new installs, one click for existing sites.
CTR Doctor: fix the snippet, then check the result.
- Ask the agent to rewrite your search titles. The new copy waits in a Trusted Plan until you approve it.
- Writes through Yoast, or through the new PressBot SEO fields on sites without an SEO plugin.
- About a month after you apply, PressBot compares clicks at similar positions and reports what changed.
CTR Doctor: find the clicks you're missing.
- Ask the agent which titles to rewrite. It ranks pages by clicks they're likely missing for searches they already rank for.
- Shows the live Google title and description, with flags for cut-off titles and titles that miss the top search.
- Read-only, with estimates labelled as estimates. Pages just past page one are called out separately.
Ask Search Console better questions.
- Filter Search Console data by page or query, or exclude your brand to see non-brand search.
- Sort by impressions, CTR, or position to find page-one results that get few clicks.
- Gemini setup now calls the Free tier a way to test, and recommends a paid Google project for live sites.
Ollama Cloud, with your own key.
- Early access to Ollama's hosted API for public chat and the Pro Admin Agent; no local server or custom endpoint needed.
- Five curated public-chat models, with Gemma 4 31B as the Ollama default. Nine Admin Agent choices include GPT-OSS 120B and Kimi K3.
- Choose and test a model for each role. Ollama usage, availability, and results vary by model and account.
Why it fits serious WordPress teams
It asks before it changes anything on your site.
Bulk edits and automations arrive as a plan you approve first, with a preview of every change and a way back. Three decisions that matter when you hand an AI the keys to a live site.
01 / BYOK
Your keys. Your data.
API keys are AES-256 encrypted on your server using your WordPress salts. Conversations never leave it. We don’t see them, store them, or train on them.
02 / Direct calls
No proxy. No markup.
Your server talks straight to provider endpoints like api.anthropic.com, generativelanguage.googleapis.com, api.openai.com, or api.deepseek.com. You pay your provider directly at their published rates — nothing in the middle.
03 / WordPress-native
It speaks the platform.
Built on WordPress APIs, hooks, capability checks, and database tables. No SaaS account, no external dependencies, no black boxes — just a plugin you install and own.
Pricing
$29 a year. Less than most chatbots cost per month.
Free is the visitor chatbot, forever. Pro is the admin agent. Every paid tier is the same product — you are only choosing how many sites you run. Compare that to $29 per month for a hosted chatbot that still is not allowed to touch your site.

FAQ
Honest answers.
What does “Bring Your Own Key” actually cost me?
You pay your AI provider directly at their published rates. Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and DeepSeek are paid usage-based options. Ollama Cloud usage depends on the selected model and your account credits or plan. Google Gemini has a Free tier for supported models, projects, quotas, and request regions — Google requires a paid project when Free access is unavailable for the region serving your WordPress site. Treat the Free tier as a way to test: limits are low and Google may use Free-tier chats to improve its products, so a live site should use a paid Google project. A typical visitor conversation costs about 2 cents with Claude Haiku 4.5, or a fraction of a cent on GPT-6 Luna or DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. PressBot itself never touches your spend.
Will the agent actually change things on my site without asking?
Destructive actions trigger a confirmation dialog before they run. Scheduled automations can be set to “review-required” mode — the agent prepares a Trusted Plan, and nothing touches your site until you approve it from the Automations workspace. Capability checks gate every tool by your WordPress role.
Is my data private?
API keys are AES-256-CBC encrypted at rest using your WordPress security salts. Your server makes direct calls to the AI provider — nothing is proxied through PressBot. We can’t see, store, or train on your conversations.
What’s the difference between Pro, Business, and Agency?
Only the number of sites you can activate the license on. Pro is 1 site, Business is 5, Agency is 50. Every paid tier includes the full feature set — admin agent, Telegram bot, Shield, WooCommerce, scheduled automations, AI images, MCP server, the lot.
Can I install PressBot from WordPress.org?
No — PressBot is distributed through Freemius. Click “Download free” above and you’ll get a zip you upload to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Updates flow through Freemius automatically.
What are the technical requirements?
WordPress 6.2 or higher, PHP 7.4 or higher, and an API key from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, or DeepSeek. Standard shared hosting is fine — no Node, no Docker, no cron daemon required. WordPress’s native cron handles scheduled automations.
