Hosting companies now offer their own AI agents for WordPress. SiteGround’s AI Agent plugin works on WordPress sites wherever they’re hosted, and Hostinger Agent is built into Hostinger accounts.
Shuttle by MoonPress is an AI workspace for the WordPress site you already have. It can change your design and add features, not only content and settings, with the ChatGPT or Claude account you choose. If your host’s agent already covers what you need, it costs little or nothing extra.
Hosting agents handle content, store and site settings in chat. Shuttle also changes your site’s design and features, with your own AI.

Shuttle is an AI workspace for the WordPress site you already have. You connect your site once, Shuttle learns how it’s built, and then you ask for what you need in plain words: a new page, a design change, SEO fixes or a new feature.
New pages and sections come out in your site’s own design, so you don’t wait for a designer or a developer. Nothing is installed on your website, and it stays exactly where it is.
You use the ChatGPT or Claude account you already have, and your team works on the same website, each person with their own account. AI can make mistakes, so check each change.
What it can change. Hosting agents work on content, store, plugin, settings and hosting tasks, and neither describes changing your theme’s code. Shuttle can change your design and build new features in your theme.
Which AI. Hosting companies choose the AI and charge through tokens or credits. Hostinger also offers a free Connector that lets AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Cursor work with its hosting. Shuttle uses the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already have.
