We don't know where to start with AI. What do we do first?

Book The AI Growth Blueprint call. You need no AI plan beforehand. We talk through your site and where the work waits, and we name the first job worth handing to the system.

Our stack is old. Do we have to rebuild, and what will it cost?

No rebuild. Your site stays on WordPress, with your hosting, theme and plugins, so you avoid the cost of a platform upgrade and the investment is low by comparison. If something in your setup needs attention first, we will say so on The AI Growth Blueprint call. The cost depends on how your changes are handled today, and we work it out from your numbers on the call.

Does this replace our developers, our agency or our staff?

Keep them. The system takes the routine production, so their time goes to integrations, decisions and directing the work.

What access do you need, and is it secure?

The call needs none. After that, access is agreed in writing, starts read-only and can be withdrawn. The written scope sets what needs approval and what may ship as a logged small fix.

Who is accountable if something goes wrong?

A named person approves every visible change, and the written scope says who that is. Small fixes are logged, so anyone can see what changed.

Will this hurt our search rankings?

Any site change can. Each change gets the SEO and GEO checks before it goes live. We promise no rankings or traffic.

Can our developers use their own tools?

Yes. Tools like Claude Code connect through an MCP connection, with the same checks and the same approval. Our guide to the WordPress Abilities API explains how that link is governed.

Have you done this for a client yet?

Yes. The agentic page editor is in use on client sites today. Those sites run it in private environments, so we show it through demos and screenshots and do not name the clients here.

AI Native WordPress with AI Agents

AI will not wait for your next rebuild

You can see AI changing how work gets done, and you can see your site still running the old way: every landing page, new section and bug fix waits for a developer or an agency slot.

The obvious answer is a new platform, which means a large bill and a long project that pulls your team away from its work. You may not know what to do first, because AI advice is easy to find and a plan for your own site is not.

Mercury Digital (mercury.digital) adds AI agents to the WordPress site you already run. You describe a change in a chat inside WordPress, an agent makes it, shows you a preview and saves a draft, and a named person approves anything a visitor would notice.

That is what AI native means to us: agents do the routine production and your people direct it, on the stack you already paid for. Costs come down and production moves much faster.

What you can tell the board

AI native

You lead on AI with a system in production

When the board asks for your AI plan, you have a running system to point to, in place of a slide about one. Agents handle routine production, and every change leaves a record you can inspect.

Cost

Lower production cost on the stack you own

Your site, hosting, theme and plugins stay, so you avoid the large bill of a platform upgrade. Routine production leaves the developer and agency queue, which cuts what each change costs you. The saving depends on how changes are handled today, so we work it out from your numbers.

Speed

Production moves much faster

Landing pages, new sections and new functionality become routine requests, where they used to be projects waiting for a slot. The site can follow a campaign or a launch on the schedule the business sets.

Your staff

Your people get more done

Your marketers describe a change in a chat inside WordPress and review a preview. Your developers keep their own tools, and their time goes to integrations and decisions. The system adds to what your staff can do, and they stay in charge of the work.

How we keep it safe

A person approves every visible change. Small fixes ship with a log.

01

Agreed scope

We agree in writing what the system may touch, who approves and what counts as a small fix. Access starts read-only.

02

Checks on every change

Every change passes checks for SEO and GEO (how your pages get cited in AI answers), for your brand and UI system, and for your voice.

03

Human approval

Anything a visitor would notice arrives as a draft with a preview, and it waits for a named person to approve it. On mercury.digital, that person is Joshua.

04

Small fixes with a log

Small fixes ship with no wait for approval, and each one is written to a log you can read.

05

Backups before release

Our Oct 28 release on mercury.digital shows the pattern: each live page was backed up first and read back after the save, and the release ran on a person's go.

Proof from our own work

From Mercury's delivery work

Agents work inside the WordPress you already run.

The agentic page editor is in use on client sites today, and we run mercury.digital the same way. You describe a change in a chat and review a preview, and a named person approves anything a visitor would notice. Your site, hosting, theme and plugins stay.

On client sites. The agentic page editor is in use on client sites today, in private environments, so you will not find it on a public page. We show it through recorded demos and screenshots. Our client work also covers custom WordPress plugins and AI support systems.

On our own site. We run mercury.digital the same way. Its use-case library is drafted and checked by agents, with a person approving every release. Read about approval gates for keeping humans in the loop.

Questions we hear

Every change runs the SEO and GEO, brand and UI, and voice checks. Visible changes arrive as drafts with a preview and wait for a named person's approval. Small fixes ship with a log, so you can see what changed.
