What if you could hand these repetitive tasks to an AI that actually clicks through wp-admin for you?

• Watch an AI build a WooCommerce store from zero to checkout-ready
• See it handle plugin updates, detect conflicts, and automatically roll back when needed
• Observe as it perform SEO audits and implement fixes across your entire site
• Learn how simple prompts become powerful automation workflows
