The official Animam plugin (PHP 7.4+, WordPress 6.0+) ships everything needed to deploy an agent on your site:
  • Public chat widget — toggleable from Settings → Animam, injected on the front-end.
  • Auto-sync — posts, pages and custom post types are pushed to the agent’s knowledge base via idempotent externalId upsert. Publish → upsert; unpublish or delete → remove.
  • Bridges — the agent drives the plugins you already use (WPForms, WooCommerce, MailPoet) instead of ingesting data into a parallel Animam table. See Bridges below.
  • Admin assistant — second chatbot in wp-admin with 22 admin tools (SEO audit, image alt bulk, schema, drafts, posts, terms, media, scheduling) plus a wp_rest_call escape hatch. Same brain as the public agent, scoped by your WordPress user capabilities.
  • Discoverability — auto-publishes 6 well-known files (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, agent.json, mcp.json, llmfeed.json, agents.txt) on the WordPress origin, plus JSON-LD on every page.
  • Auto-update — manifest at https://api.animam.ai/wp/plugin-meta?slug=animam, native update notifications in wp-admin.

Why bridges instead of an Animam-owned data store

The agent could capture leads in its own CPT or DB and post them back to your site via webhook — but that means two parallel data stores, two automation layers, and the tenant’s existing Zapier/CRM/notification flow has to be re-wired around Animam. Bridges keep the existing pipeline intact: The agent becomes an additive layer: visitor talks to the agent, agent calls the plugin, plugin persists like a human would have.

Bridges

Three bridges ship today:

WPForms

Agent submits any of your WPForms forms on behalf of the visitor through the native pipeline.

WooCommerce

Agent searches products, adds to cart, drives the visitor to native checkout.

MailPoet

Agent subscribes visitors to whitelisted lists, double opt-in preserved.

Five-minute install

  1. Download the latest plugin ZIP from https://api.animam.ai/wp/plugin-download/<version> (or the GitHub source).
  2. In wp-admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and upload the ZIP.
  3. Activate the plugin.
  4. Go to Settings → Animam, paste your tenant slug and API key (from your Animam dashboard).
  5. Click Test connection, then Resync all to push existing content.
  6. Toggle the widget on. Done.

Plan requirements

The WordPress Free plan (€0) runs the public widget on your own AI key (BYOK) — no native bridges. Native bridges start on the Visitors plan (€19/month). This is separate from the Animam Free plan on animam.ai, which is reserved for API exploration.
See the WordPress pricing page for the full plan matrix.
WordPress plans require an active plugin. The wp_frontend, wp_admin and wp_bundle plans are reserved for sites running the official Animam plugin. The plugin pings /tenants/:slug/plan hourly — if no ping is observed for 60 days, the public chat is suspended until the plugin is reactivated. New tenants benefit from a 30-day onboarding grace period. To use Animam on a non-WordPress site, see animam.ai pricing.
