Novamira is a free, open-source WordPress plugin that gives a developer’s AI deep access to a site: it can run code, change the database and edit files. Its free desktop app, Novamira HQ, brings your sites and hosting accounts together.
Shuttle by MoonPress is an AI workspace for the people who run the site: owners, marketers and their teams. You ask for changes in plain words, and they come out in your site’s own design, with nothing installed on your website.
Novamira is a powerful free toolkit for developers. Shuttle is made for owners, marketers and teams working on the site they already have.

Novamira is a plugin you install on your site. Once you switch on its AI abilities, an AI app such as Claude, Codex, ChatGPT or Cursor connects to the site and can run code, change the database and edit files. Novamira Chat adds a plain-language chat inside the WordPress dashboard that shows its plan and waits for your approval; it needs WordPress 7 and your own AI key.
Novamira says the AI looks at how the site is set up before writing code. New code files can be recovered, but database changes, settings changes and running code take effect on the site immediately. Novamira recommends backups, and its paid Read Mode, made for live sites, lets an AI only read.
Novamira HQ is a free desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, currently in beta. Connect a hosting account and its sites appear in HQ, and on supported hosts HQ can install the plugin for you.
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 goes on your website. Novamira works through a plugin on your site. Shuttle adds nothing to your website.
Who it’s for. Novamira gives developers a powerful toolkit. Shuttle is for the people who run the site, and it knows your site before your first request.
Choice. Novamira works with many AI apps, on Mac, Windows and Linux, and with a long list of hosts. Shuttle works with your ChatGPT or Claude account on a Mac.
Cost. Novamira’s core is free, with yearly or one-time licenses. Shuttle is a monthly subscription per website.
Novamira’s plugin and Novamira HQ are free and open source. Pro costs €69 a year for 3 sites, €149 a year for agencies with up to 1,000 sites, or €299 once for a lifetime agency license. Your AI plan is separate.
Shuttle costs $29 per website a month for the first 3 months, then $49. Each website includes one free guest, and extra team seats are $10 a month. Your ChatGPT or Claude plan and your hosting are paid separately. Your first payment comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Novamira says its write access is for development and staging sites, and its paid Read Mode limits an AI to reading on live sites. Database changes, settings changes and running code take effect immediately, so keep backups.
No. Shuttle is a paid product, and it uses the ChatGPT or Claude account you already have.
No. Shuttle doesn’t add a plugin or anything else to your website.
