October 2026

October brings Site Assistant and Blog Automation, a workspace with your chat beside your site, and more control over styling, forms, and previews.

Site Assistant for your visitors

Site Assistant adds a “Chat with us” button to your published site. Visitors can ask about your services and get answers based on your business overview, any additional knowledge you provide, and an automatic summary of your most important published pages. You can add up to three opening quick actions, so visitors can start a conversation with one tap or jump to a page or phone call.

When a visitor wants a quote or callback, the assistant asks for the required fields of a Form you choose, one question at a time, and checks each answer. Five minutes after the visitor’s last message, the lead is saved as a regular Form entry. Your existing email notifications, webhooks, and CRM integrations then run as they do for any other submission.

Every conversation, finished or not, appears under Inbox › Visitor conversations with its transcript, details captured so far, and a status of “Lead captured,” “Awaiting submission,” or “Conversation.” Conversations and their Form entries link to each other.

Site Assistant costs $8/month per website for unlimited conversations. It’s included for the rest of an active trial; otherwise, the first charge is prorated to your billing date. To set it up, open the new Site assistant tab, choose a Form, add any knowledge and quick actions, and publish your site. Site Assistant requires a published Form and the English language on your site.

Blog Automation: a researched article every week

Blog Automation researches, writes, illustrates, and publishes a blog post for your site every week. Each article is researched with web search, links to its sources, and is written in your site’s primary language. Articles are typically 1,700 to 3,000 words long. Each gets a generated featured image with alt text. Only the new post is published, so your other unpublished drafts stay untouched.

Articles draw facts from the business overview in Settings and follow your writing instructions for voice, topics to avoid, image preferences, and author. Blog Automation checks your recent posts to avoid repeating a topic, and it never invents services, credentials, results, testimonials, prices, or guarantees.

The Blog automation tab shows how many articles have been published this billing period, up to five, and when the next one starts. Automated edits are labeled “Blog automation” in History. If you add an IndexNow key in Settings, participating search engines are notified each time a new article is published.

Blog Automation costs $70/month per website on your existing subscription. To activate it, add a business overview, choose a blog collection, and publish a blog page for that collection. Collaborators can edit the writing instructions, while billing stays with the site owner.

Your chat and your site, side by side

The Wirechunk app is now a single workspace. Your conversation with the assistant sits on the left, and the site panel on the right has tabs for Preview, Pages, Posts, Forms, Assets, Inbox, Blog automation, Site assistant, Settings, Checks, and History. On tablets and phones, you can switch between the chat and the site panel.

Chats remember which site they’re about, and new chats use the site open in the panel. Switching chats keeps your place in the site panel, including unsaved edits. The preview has its own tab with a page picker, refreshes when the assistant finishes a response, and keeps working without losing your scroll position.

Publishing has moved to a single “Unpublished changes” button in the toolbar. It covers all your sites, groups changes by site, and lets you compare the published and draft versions of each change before publishing.

New users now start with “Tell us about your business.” A single Invitations card collects site invitations, payment-method requests, and ownership transfers.

Better first drafts and image generation

When you start with only a sentence or two, the assistant asks a few focused questions, looks up your business online, and asks you to confirm the address, phone number, and email it finds. It plans pages around your main services, adds a short quote form near the top of the home page for lead-generation sites, and includes a blog with starter articles unless you decline. It also checks the result on desktop and mobile before handing it over, and it never invents contact details, reviews, credentials, awards, prices, or promises.

The assistant can now generate images and save them straight to your site’s assets with alt text and descriptive filenames. Images can be square, landscape, portrait, or wide. Photo attachments up to 20 MB are accepted and resized automatically when needed.

Conditional form actions and new fields

Submission actions can now run conditionally. Set an action’s “Run this action” option to “When conditions match” and combine rules such as Equals, Does not equal, Contains, and Does not contain. For example, you can send quote requests for each service to a different inbox.

Forms also have more ways to ask questions. The new Radio buttons field and renamed Checkbox group field both appear as easy-to-tap cards, and Markdown blocks can go anywhere between fields. A “Show form title on the website” toggle controls whether the form’s heading appears.

Form entries now include the submitter’s IP address in the Inbox, notification emails, and webhooks. In the Inbox, checkbox answers show as Yes or No, and visitor-facing forms have tighter, more consistent styling.

Refreshed site design

Published sites now always use their light appearance, and Settings asks for one logo and one favicon. A new Buttons component adds one or two call-to-action buttons in Primary, Soft, Ghost, or Custom styles and Small, Medium, or Large sizes, with optional icons. Header, form, and review buttons now share the same style.

Sections can have up to four columns, which sit side by side on wider screens and stack on phones. The site header stays visible as visitors scroll, text fills its column instead of stopping at a fixed width, quotes are styled, and page sections have more breathing room.

For designers, pages and posts now support custom CSS, plus custom IDs and classes on sections, columns, components, and individual buttons. Existing styling was migrated automatically, so sites look the same.

Previews, domains, and site code

Preview links now last 12 hours instead of one hour, so clients can review a draft later in the day or the next morning. Previews of large sites no longer fail, and post images now show in previews of sites that haven’t been published yet.

Site code in Settings is now split in two. Custom code for fonts, styles, and widgets appears in previews and on your published site, while Published-only code for analytics and tracking stays out of previews. Existing snippets moved to Published-only code automatically.

For custom domains, https://www.yourdomain.com now redirects securely to your main domain once your www address points to Wirechunk. Disconnecting a custom domain switches your site to a Wirechunk address immediately.

Search and AI discoverability

Your site’s llms-full.txt now includes your homepage’s full content, giving AI assistants more to work with. Structured data consistently uses your live HTTPS domain, and forms are described to visitors’ AI agents with readable titles and field descriptions in the visitor’s language.
