An AI editor for your WordPress site.

Slack

Overview

The WordPress Content Agent connects to your site through Helm's native integration, drafts and publishes content on your brand voice, keeps media and taxonomies clean, moderates comments, and monitors site health. It reports weekly in Slack and acts only inside the limits you set.

What it does

What it takes off your plate.

Content publishing

Drafts, edits, and publishes posts and pages on your brand voice, with titles, excerpts, categories, and featured images set correctly.

Media management

Uploads and organizes images and files, sets alt text, and flags oversized or orphaned media in the library.

Taxonomy and structure

Organizes categories and tags, merges near-duplicates, and removes empty terms to keep the content structure coherent.

Comment moderation

Reviews the comment queue, approves legitimate comments, removes spam, and routes borderline cases to a human.

Site health monitoring

Watches plugin and theme updates and site-health warnings, and flags risks for a human. It never updates anything on its own.

Example tasks

Things you can hand it.

Draft and schedule next week's blog posts from the content calendar.
Publish a post with the right category, tags, excerpt, and a featured image with alt text.
Add missing alt text across the media library and flag oversized images.
Merge duplicate categories and remove empty tags.
Clear the comment queue: approve legitimate comments, remove spam, route borderline ones to a human.
Refresh a stale page with current information and internal links.
Flag available plugin and theme updates and any Site Health warnings.
Find orphaned posts with no internal links and suggest where to link them.
Turn a long post into a series with proper internal links between parts.
Report weekly on what published, what's drafted, and what needs attention.

How it works

Connect once, then read Slack.

1
Connect
We connect your site through Helm's native WordPress integration and load your content playbook. No third-party tool in between.
2
Review
Every week the agent reviews content, media, taxonomies, comments, and site health, then writes up what it found.
3
Report
It posts the review and a ranked list of actions to your Slack channel. No new login, no portal to learn.
4
Act
On Managed and Full tiers it drafts and publishes the work, within the approval limits you set.

Tiers

Start where you're comfortable.

Same agent, three levels of control. Moving up is a settings change, not a new setup.

QA

The agent reviews; your team acts.

Read-only access to your WordPress site.
Weekly review of content, media, taxonomies, comments, and site health.
Findings and a prioritized list in Slack.

Managed

The agent drafts, you approve in Slack, the agent publishes.

Everything in QA.
Drafts posts, pages, media, and taxonomy changes.
Publishes only after you approve.

Full

The agent runs the work; you set the limits.

Everything in Managed.
Publishes and moderates on the agreed schedule.
Escalates plugin updates and anything sensitive to a human.

FAQ

Common questions.

What do I need to get started?

A WordPress site with Helm's connection installed (a one-time plugin setup) and a Slack channel to share with the agent. We handle the setup and load your playbook.

Does it publish on its own?

Only on the Full tier, and only within your limits. On QA it reviews and never acts. On Managed it drafts and waits for your approval in Slack before anything goes live.

Will it touch my plugins or themes?

No. It monitors plugin and theme updates and site-health warnings and flags them, but it never activates, deactivates, or updates anything automatically. A human always decides.

How is this different from giving someone wp-admin access?

It is an operator that works on a playbook and reports in plain language. It runs a weekly review, ranks the work, and on the higher tiers does it, within set limits. You read Slack, not a dashboard.

Does it work with my theme or page builder?

It works through the WordPress connection, so it handles posts, pages, media, taxonomies, and comments wherever your content lives. It focuses on content and site health, not theme design or builder layouts.

How do the tiers work?

QA reviews only. Managed drafts and publishes after your approval. Full publishes and moderates on a schedule. Moving up a tier is a settings change, not a new setup.
