Buildli
Buildli is the small, zero-dependency bridge between your self-hosted WordPress site and buildli.app — an AI-powered chat interface that edits your site on request.
After activating the plugin and connecting your site, you can open the chat at buildli.app and ask for changes in plain language:
- “Create a Contact page with a simple form and a map.”
- “Rewrite the homepage hero to focus on our new summer collection.”
- “Translate the FAQ into French and publish it as a new page.”
- “Fix the SEO titles on my five most-visited blog posts.”
Every action is previewed before it runs, revisions are saved so any change can be undone, and an emergency recovery URL lets you disable the connector with a single click if anything ever goes wrong.
Built-in safety:
- Preview-first — every write action is shown to you in the chat before it runs.
- Automatic revisions — updates snapshot the previous state so one click reverts them.
- Draft mode — an optional per-site toggle that forces every agent write to land in draft.
- Recovery URL — a secret one-time URL that disables the connector even if your admin is broken.
- Audit log — every tool execution is recorded in your Buildli dashboard.
Zero dependencies. The plugin is a few hundred lines of PHP that only uses WordPress core APIs — no third-party libraries, no database tables, no analytics, no outbound calls except to the Buildli API.
Your API key stays with us. The plugin holds only its own site-specific token; the AI provider API key Buildli uses is never exposed to the plugin or your site.
Self-hosted only. This plugin targets WordPress.org (self-hosted) sites — it cannot be installed on WordPress.com.
Disclaimer. Buildli is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the WordPress Foundation, Automattic, or any other entity.
How it works
- You connect your site at buildli.app using WordPress’s built-in Application Passwords flow — you’re redirected to your own admin, approve, and come back.
- The plugin is auto-installed and stores a unique token.
- From then on, Buildli signs every request to your site with HMAC-SHA256 using that token.
- When you chat at buildli.app, the agent calls this plugin’s REST endpoints to read and modify content on your behalf — only actions you approve.
Privacy
- The plugin does not call any third-party service on its own.
- On activation, it registers REST endpoints on your site at
/wp-json/buildli/v1/. - When you trigger changes from buildli.app, the content of the post or page you’re editing is sent to the Buildli API (and onward to the underlying AI model) so the assistant can reason about it. This is disclosed in our Privacy Policy at https://buildli.app/legal/privacy.
- Site events (post created, plugin activated, theme switched) are sent as webhook notifications to buildli.app so the assistant’s context stays fresh. You can disable webhooks in the plugin settings.
