Agents: Worker replaces Architect
- Meet Worker. The Architect agent is retired. On a heavy, long task the Orchestrator now decomposes it: splits the task into parts and calls a dedicated Worker sub-agent for each one. The result is noticeably higher accuracy and consistency across multi-step jobs.
- Verify is stricter and more honest. It now checks whether the task was actually completed, not just whether it ran.
- Pause only pauses the schedule. Pausing a Scheduled Agent stops its next timed runs. Sessions already in progress, including ones started with Run Now, keep going.
Rollback: honest by design
- Rollback reports the outcome honestly. If a change could not be undone, you find out right away instead of discovering it later. Every WordPress stack is different, and we keep extending rollback coverage to new configurations.
- Undo now covers long posts with images and SEO meta, which previously could fall outside rollback.
Make your site AI-ready
- llms.txt and similar files can now be created. Ask Foenix to bring your site up to speed for AI crawlers and add llms.txt.
Cloud Site, formerly Sandbox
- Sandbox is now Cloud Site. Your sites are labeled Cloud Site or Self-hosted, and the demo one shows “Demo site expires in”.
- 500 bonus credits when you connect your own site. One time, on the first site you connect.
Live mode
- The current page URL is shown, clickable, with long paths shortened.
- Links to your site’s pages open in Live mode. Session results now use three link styles so you can tell them apart: green for files created inside Foenix, orange for WP Admin, grey for external.
🛠 Fixes
- Files not reaching the chat, or opening with a 404.
- Responses occasionally switching language mid-session.
- Plugin: table creation on update, transaction errors during install. Update to the latest plugin version.
- Requests hanging with no response until a page reload.
New
- Pull-only plugin mode. If your firewall blocks incoming requests, the plugin can now work in pull-only mode, so Foenix connects to sites that were previously unreachable.
- New Agent, your way. The New Agent button now opens a choice: build the agent through a chat, or fill in the setup form yourself.
- Continue an agent session. A finished agent’s session can now be picked back up simply by writing a message into it.
- ZIP files are now readable. Upload a plugin or theme archive and Foenix will unpack it and read the files inside.
Faster and steadier
- Sandboxes launch noticeably faster. They are now prepared in advance, with the plugin version kept current, so you spend less time waiting.
- Faster dashboard and project opening. Fewer round trips to the server on every screen.
Chat
- Hover a message to see when it was sent.
- Improved the UI on mobile devices.
Fixes
- Critical: sessions that could hang without completing are fixed, along with the credit accounting behind them.
- Buttons that needed several clicks now respond the first time, and show progress when the server is slow.
- Rollback now reports honestly. If a change could not be undone, you are told, instead of seeing a false success.
Sandbox: relaunch anytime
- Launch a fresh 24-hour sandbox whenever you need one. If your trial sandbox has expired, spin up a new one right from the dashboard. The button activates as soon as your previous sandbox winds down.
- Expired sandboxes are now cleaned up right on schedule.
- WP Easy Migrate is now available as a direct download. Install it on any WordPress site, not just inside a sandbox. Guide and link in the docs.
Scheduled Agents
- Memory for Scheduled Agents. Scheduled Agents now retain knowledge of your WordPress site between runs.
- Cleaner responses: stray internal reasoning no longer leaks into replies, and action formatting glitches are fixed.
Quality of life
- Email when your task finishes. Start a generation, walk away, and we’ll let you know when it’s done.
- Connection-loss handling. If your internet drops mid-generation, you’ll see a clear notification and your message returns to the input box, ready to resend.
- Google sign-in now runs in the same tab, with no popup.
Fixes
- Critical: password reset was not working. Fixed.
- Images: image generation and image analysis both back to normal.
- Plugin: activation error when activating immediately after install is fixed. Connection issues for some sites are fixed. The Update button now takes you to WP Admin as expected.
- Generation pipeline: a large batch of fixes and corrections in the places where errors occurred.
Sandbox migration — as promised
Two weeks ago we said our own migration plugin was coming. It’s here:- WP Easy Migrate — our migration plugin, now preinstalled in every sandbox. Move an existing WordPress site (database + files) into a sandbox, or take what you built in a sandbox out to any WordPress site.
Smoother start
- Straight into your workspace after signup — no interstitial page, your sandbox spins up while you watch.
- Live launch status instead of a generic spinner: “Spinning up WordPress… Installing the foenix plugin… Preparing your sandbox…”
- Email when your demo sandbox is ready — even if you didn’t wait around, you can come back with one click.
- WP Admin button right next to your sandbox domain.
- Pin/unpin sandboxes on the dashboard.
Agents & models
- Standard mode is now Plus. Lite runs on a mix of fast, lightweight models; Plus and Ultra use larger, more capable models.
- Plus and Ultra modes are now exclusive to paid plans.
- Agents created from a chat now inherit that chat’s model mode — start in Lite, and the agent runs in Lite too, image models included.
- Run Now on an agent takes you straight to the created session.
- Multi-provider model routing for faster, more reliable responses in Lite mode.
- Updated Prompt Library and redesigned quick-start chips.
🛠 Fixes
- Files: improved reading of uploaded text files. File names with spaces handled properly.
- Sessions: response arriving but the interface not updating — fixed. Infinite loading — fixed. “Thinking” indicator stuck after a task finished — fixed. Empty responses in Review + Lite — fixed.
- Plugin: plugins being unexpectedly deactivated on connected sites — fixed.
- UI: double-click needed on preview and pricing buttons — fixed. Zip file downloads — fixed. Wrong mode shown on a newly created agent — fixed.
Sandbox: built end-to-end
Sandbox went from early access to a real, stable feature this cycle:- Sandboxes deploy fast — without a long wait to get one running.
- One-click WP Admin access. Links Foenix generates while working on your site (installing a plugin, opening a settings page) now log you in and take you straight there — no more dead links.
- Real-time deploy status. Sandboxes report Deploying → Live as they come up, and you can now launch multiple sandboxes in parallel.
- Transparent, correct pricing. 5GB (12 credits) / 10GB (20 credits) / 25GB (30 credits), with disk sizes that actually match what you picked.
- Free / Starter / Pro sandbox limits now enforced correctly across the board.
Agent system: fully reworked
- Three model modes. Lite (MiniMax M3), Standard (Gemini 3.5 Flash), Ultra (Claude Sonnet 4.6) — chosen per session, plus an independent image-model selector.
- Mode choice locks in per session once a task starts, so it can’t silently change mid-run.
- Orchestrator and Automation agents fully aligned — scheduled/automated runs now behave exactly like the agents you configure manually.
- Stopping a task no longer loses context for follow-up requests in the same session. Added a proper Stop button.
- Prompt-caching rework that meaningfully cuts wasted token cost on longer sessions.
- New Prompt Library and quick-start chips — one click to launch ready-made recipes (daily blog post with images, weekly SEO audit, and more).
- Faster responses in Lite mode via priority processing for MiniMax M3 and other lightweight models.
- Fixed token/cost accounting across our models — including a caching double-count bug and garbled Flash responses.
- Fixed autonomous agent lists not filtering correctly by site.
New
- Review and Publish. Choose where the result goes: Review prepares files for you to check first, Publish applies changes to the live site at once.
- Redesigned auth pages — sign-up, login, password reset, and confirmation.
- Dashboard tiles: new sites now appear at the top.
- File previews now render content directly in a modal (with a download button) for more file types.
- Renamed Vibe Coding → Live — opens a preview of your site where you can turn on Visual Edit mode.
- Universal links. Out of credits mid-task? Agents can now point you straight to the pricing page or the buy-credits modal.
🛠 Fixes
- Auth: Google sign-in occasionally failing on first attempt — fixed. Free-plan bonus credits now correctly granted on Google sign-up.
- UI: Long names now display correctly in your profile. Dashboard load-time fixes. General polish across profile, sessions, and mobile layouts.
- Plugin: Connection errors now shown clearly on the plugin settings page.
New
- Gemini 3.1 Pro now available on production across all agents.
- Credit packs now available on Starter plan. Previously limited to Pro only.
- Session titles now generated from chat context for easier browser history navigation.
🛠 Fixes
- Critical: WP plugin returning empty response on code execution — fixed, further improvements in progress. ⚙️
- Critical: Plugin not loading dashboard on first connect — fixed.
- Billing: Complete rewrite of credit counting logic.
- Billing: Overage no longer deducted from future purchases or renewals.
- Billing: Credit pack expiry corrected to 6 months.
- Billing: Upgrade/Downgrade blocked correctly when renewal not allowed.
- UI: Interface locked during backend requests — fixed, monitoring ongoing. ⚙️
- UI: Skeleton animation added to profile — prevents errors from clicking before data loads.
- UI: Edit agent panel moved to bottom of session with next run time and status visible.
- UI: Vibe Coding top bar layout fixed.
New
- Gemini 3 Flash added as a model option alongside Claude Sonnet 4.6. Choose per task — Flash for speed and cost, Sonnet for complex builds. Configure in Settings → Personality → AI Pipeline Models.
- Create Autonomous agents from any session. While in Conversational mode, just describe the task and tell Foenix when and how often to repeat it — for example, “every Monday at 9am, audit my SEO and email me the report”. Foenix expands it into a full prompt and shows a Schedule Task card to confirm.
- Stop a running task at any time. You can now interrupt a task before it finishes — useful when you spot it heading the wrong way or just want to cancel and try a different prompt.
- Per-agent model selection. In your Profile, you can now choose which AI model each agent uses individually — pick a lighter, cheaper model for simple recurring tasks and a more powerful one for complex builds.
🛠 Improvements
- A batch of bug fixes across the platform. We’re watching closely and shipping improvements continuously — keep the feedback coming.
Foenix.ai is in active early development. We’ve been building for the past 6 months and this is our current feature set.
