Volteruno – AI Blog Auto-Publish vs OpenStation

wp-admin forgets. OpenStation doesn’t. You know the moment. You’re deep in a post and you need one image from the Media Library. You click over, find it, click back, and everything you had going is gone. Your scroll position, your half-typed thought, the three other things you had queued up in your head. That’s not a bug you hit. That’s the design. wp-admin shows you one screen at a time, and every navigation throws the last one away. It has worked this way since 2003, like a fridge that empties itself every time you close the door. WordPress has rebuilt almost everything else. The editor, the site editor, the patterns, the styles. The admin’s one-screen-at-a-time model is the layer nobody touched. OpenStation touches it. Install it and admin screens become draggable, resizable windows. Edit a post while the Media Library sits open next to it. Drag an image from one window straight into the other. Keep comments open in the corner. Reload the browser and your window layout — open pages, positions, sizes, and window states — comes back where you left it. OpenStation itself is free, GPL, and opt-in per user. One click in the admin bar turns it on for you. One click turns it off. Nobody else on your site sees anything change, and deactivating the plugin restores the classic admin exactly. No Core patches and no lock-in. Optional AI providers may charge for their service. Built and maintained by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, Jetpack, WooCommerce, and Tumblr. Work on more than one thing at once Admin pages open as windows, including pages added by most other plugins. Drag them, resize them, snap them, tile them, minimize them to a taskbar. The admin menu becomes a dock of icons. Two editors open at once is one click away. Never lose your place Moving between open windows leaves each page in place. Across reloads, OpenStation remembers your open pages, window positions, sizes and states, virtual desktops, and focus. Closing a window with unsaved changes warns you first. A desk you can actually put things on Drop posts, media, and links right onto the wallpaper. Sort them into folders. Trash them to a Trash that actually holds things. The stuff you’re working on this week can just sit out where you can see it. One desktop per job Virtual desktops, the way your operating system does them. One for writing. One for the store. One for comment triage. One for that redesign you keep poking at. Switch between them without closing anything. Find anything with Cmd+K The full WordPress command palette, plus slash commands from your plugins, all under one keystroke. Turn on the optional AI assistant and you can ask it things like “which post had the comment asking for the recipe?” and it searches your own content to answer. (Requires an AI provider configured in Settings → Connectors on WordPress 7.0+. Details under “External services” below.) See how your site fits together The Corkboard is an interactive, zoomable map of how your posts, pages, and products link to each other. Pan around it. Find the orphans. Find the hubs. Running a store? Orders, Products, Coupons, and Customers become browsable folders with stock and sale ribbons. Open a customer to see their lifetime spend and what they buy most. Follow a product to its buyers, or a coupon to who redeemed it. Make it yours Wallpapers, from color presets to animated scenes to your own photo. Live widgets pinned to the desktop: drafts, stats, recent comments, a focus timer. Uploadable desktop themes, including a built-in Legacy theme that brings the old WordPress blue back in one click. And Mio, a soft-body desk companion that drifts across your wallpaper and gets bumped around by your windows. Off by default. You’ll turn it on. For developers Extend OpenStation through documented PHP and JavaScript APIs. Register windows, icons, wallpapers, widgets, commands, and settings tabs through stable openstation_register_* PHP APIs and a typed JavaScript API; customize dock items through documented hooks; add AI tools with the WordPress Abilities API. Copy-paste examples live in the developer docs on GitHub. External services No external service is required for OpenStation’s desktop interface. The optional AI Assistant and two user-initiated enrichment features make the external requests described below. AI Assistant The optional AI Assistant sends data to the AI provider you configure in WordPress’s Settings → Connectors (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). Generation is routed through WordPress 7.0’s built-in AI Client, which supplies the credentials stored in Connectors. The plugin never handles an API key itself. With no provider configured in Connectors, no external AI requests are made. When the AI Assistant is enabled and a user invokes it (via Cmd+K or the slash-command palette): What is sent: the user’s prompt, the conversation history for the active session, and tool-call metadata. The plugin’s built-in tools (search_posts, search_pages, search_comments) run WordPress’s native keyword search and may include excerpts of the matching posts/pages/comments in tool results, which are then sent back to the provider as part of the agentic loop. When it is sent: on user-initiated AI requests, and (if an administrator enables “Score new comments with AI”) on comment-save hooks for spam analysis. Posts, pages, and taxonomy terms are not sent automatically. Why it is sent: to obtain model completions and tool-call decisions that drive the AI Assistant. Who provides the service: whichever provider you configured in Settings → Connectors. Which provider (and endpoint) receives the data depends entirely on that configuration. Review the chosen provider’s own terms and privacy policy (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). URL shortcut favicons When an authorized user creates a desktop shortcut to an external URL, OpenStation asks that URL for its page HTML and favicon so the shortcut can display the site’s icon. The request is made from your WordPress server and sends the requested URL, the server’s IP address, an OpenStation user-agent string, and normal HTTP request metadata to the operator of that site. This happens only when a user creates the shortcut. The destination site’s terms and privacy policy apply. WordPress.org plugin information When an authorized user opens or refreshes parts of OpenStation’s Plugins window, OpenStation may request public plugin details, update metadata, and review excerpts from WordPress.org. These requests send plugin slugs, the site’s locale, and normal HTTP request metadata to WordPress.org. This information is used only to display and manage plugins. Review the WordPress.org Privacy Policy. OpenStation’s OAuth relay does not contact a service by itself. Third-party plugins that configure the relay may contact their own providers and are responsible for disclosing those services. Credits OpenStation is brought to you by Automattic. The plugin is open source under GPLv2-or-later; contributions are welcome on GitHub. Third-party libraries The plugin bundles the following third-party JavaScript library, loaded on demand only when a feature that needs it is in use: PixiJS (MIT License) — used by the Corkboard window, built-in canvas wallpapers (e.g. the animated WordPress logo), the Mio desk companion, and the Inkfall typing game. PixiJS is loaded from the plugin’s own assets/vendor/ directory; no CDN requests are made. Data files The Inkfall game’s word list (assets/games/inkfall/words.txt) is generated from the following sources (attribution also ships in the file’s header): FrequencyWords by Hermit Dave (CC-BY-SA 4.0) — English word-frequency ranking derived from the OpenSubtitles corpus. english-words by dwyl (Unlicense) — used as a validity filter. LDNOOBW English list (CC-BY 4.0) — used as an exclusion filter.

Your blog writes and publishes itself — you set the plan once. Most WordPress blogs stop after a handful of posts. Not because the owner does not care, but because one good article means research, keywords, structure, meta data, images, internal links and an evening that never comes free. Volteruno removes that evening. Connect this plugin once, and your Volteruno account handles the whole chain: Find what to write → write the full article → publish it directly to WordPress → keep it moving automatically. What you get One-click WordPress connection. Install, activate, click Connect this site to Volteruno, approve it once. No connection code to copy, no API keys, no FTP, no developer. Topics you can actually publish around. Volteruno suggests article ideas for your site and shows an estimated keyword difficulty and monthly search volume next to each one, so you decide what has a chance — not what merely sounds nice. Complete articles, not drafts. Every article ships with a title, meta description, H1/H2 structure, a slug and internal links to your other posts. Where the format calls for it, the article also includes an FAQ section, a table of contents, a TL;DR or key takeaways, plus a featured image with alt text. Published straight to WordPress. New posts appear on your site under your chosen WordPress author, at the time you scheduled — in your site’s own WordPress timezone. Autopilot. Turn it on per website and new articles are planned, written and published on a repeating schedule. Turn it off any time. Editorial calendar. See what is scheduled, what is live and reschedule anything before it goes out. WooCommerce aware. If WooCommerce is active, Volteruno can read your product catalog and reference relevant products inside articles you generate for that site. Multilingual. Articles can be written in 32 languages. The Volteruno dashboard and this plugin’s admin screen are translated into 25. You stay in control. Preview, edit, reschedule, unpublish or delete anything from your normal WordPress admin. The plugin only creates new posts — it never edits or deletes your existing content unless you explicitly ask for that action on a specific article. How it works Install and activate this plugin. Click “Connect this site to Volteruno” and approve the connection once. A free Volteruno account is created if you don’t have one. Pick a topic — from the suggested ideas or your own. Volteruno writes the full article and publishes it to this site, now or on your schedule. Optional: switch on Autopilot so the next articles happen without you. Try it without paying Your first article is free. No credit card is required to create the account and publish it. Paid plans exist for higher monthly volume and more websites — you only pick one if the first article convinced you. What this plugin does and does not do This plugin is the secure bridge between your WordPress site and your Volteruno account. The writing, topic research, scheduling and publishing controls live in your Volteruno dashboard at volteruno.com. The plugin adds no front-end code, no ads and no tracking to your site. External services This plugin connects your WordPress site to Volteruno, a third-party SaaS service operated by Volteruno (https://volteruno.com), so AI-written blog posts created in your Volteruno dashboard can be published to your site automatically. What is sent and when: On connection (only when you click “Connect this site to Volteruno” and approve it in Volteruno): the plugin sends your site URL, the connecting admin’s email/username, the one-time pairing ticket (or, in the support-only manual mode, the Connection Code you pasted), and a freshly generated WordPress Application Password (named “Volteruno Auto-Publish”) to the Volteruno API endpoint at https://iaifmquygwpugdhrqmpr.supabase.co/functions/v1/wordpress-connect. This is required so Volteruno can authenticate future publishing requests to your site. Every 15 minutes (heartbeat, only after you connect): the plugin sends the Connection Code, site URL, plugin/WordPress/PHP version and the results of the local environment checks (HTTPS, Application Passwords, REST API, outbound HTTPS) to https://iaifmquygwpugdhrqmpr.supabase.co/functions/v1/wordpress-heartbeat. This lets the Volteruno dashboard show the real health of this site. No post content, user data or credentials are sent. On publishing (only when you trigger a publish from the Volteruno dashboard): Volteruno sends the post content (title, body, featured image, tags, categories, excerpt, SEO metadata) back to your site via the standard WordPress REST API. WooCommerce product sync (only if WooCommerce is active and only when Volteruno requests it): Volteruno reads your product catalog (titles, descriptions, prices, images, categories, currency) via the plugin’s /wp-json/volteruno/v1/products endpoint, authenticated with your Connection Code. This data is used solely to recommend your own products inside articles generated for your site. No customer data, orders, or personal data are ever read. No data is sent to Volteruno unless you explicitly install this plugin and start the connection yourself from Settings → Volteruno. The plugin does not send any analytics or telemetry. The Volteruno backend is hosted on Supabase infrastructure, which is why the API endpoint above is on a supabase.co subdomain. Service: Volteruno — https://volteruno.com Terms of Service: https://volteruno.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://volteruno.com/privacy Privacy This plugin sends your site URL, the connecting admin’s email/username and an auto-generated WordPress Application Password to the Volteruno API (https://volteruno.com) once, when you connect the site from Settings → Volteruno. After that, the Volteruno service uses those credentials to publish articles you create in your Volteruno dashboard. No analytics or tracking data is collected by the plugin itself. See the Volteruno Privacy Policy for full details.
