Introducing WordPress Workspace for Mac

Managing a WordPress site means switching between tools — your editor, your notes, your media library, your AI assistant. WordPress Workspace brings them together in one place on your Mac.

Workspace is a desktop app that gives you quick access to WordPress Agent from anywhere on your Mac. Ask questions about your site, dictate ideas, capture screenshots, upload images, and transform selected text — all without leaving your workflow or rebuilding your context.

Your WordPress site is your home base

Your WordPress site already holds more than published pages and posts. It contains your archive, your media, your audience, your offers, your style, and the shape of your work. WordPress Workspace turns that existing context into a starting point.

WordPress Workspace includes capabilities you might otherwise pay for separately:

• Quick access to WordPress Agent — Get help with your site and other tasks without opening your browser.
• Voice-to-text dictation — Turn speech into clean, usable text for posts, pages, and notes.
• Screenshot capture — Add visual context to your work without switching apps.
• Direct media uploads — Move images into your WordPress media library with a single action.

If you manage more than one site, each site can be its own workspace. Switch sites, and you switch context.

Included with your WordPress.com plan

WordPress Workspace is included with every WordPress.com plan during the beta.

There is no separate account to create, and no additional subscription to pay. Just sign in with the WordPress.com account you already use, choose the site you want to work with, and start from there.

Workspace is designed around WordPress.com accounts, sites, and permissions, so your access follows the same model your team already uses.

Guidelines (coming soon)

Workspace will become even more useful when paired with guidelines — a feature expected to land in WordPress Core that lets you define how content should sound, read, and behave on your site.

When available, guidelines will shape how WordPress Agent responds, how dictated text is formatted, and how generated images align with your site’s voice. This means cleaner first drafts, more consistent tone, and less manual editing.

Guidelines will introduce:

• Instructions for guiding WordPress Agent behavior specific to your site
• Memories so WordPress Agent becomes more helpful over time
• Skills to teach WordPress Agent new capabilities and share them with your team
• Artifacts for storing content in progress and general notes

Your WordPress site becomes more than the place where work is published. It becomes the place where context lives.

Workspace is one part of a broader shift toward WordPress becoming a richer environment for publishing, collaboration, and AI-assisted workflows.

Beta availability

WordPress Workspace is in beta and included with all WordPress.com plans. During beta, features and functionality may evolve as we gather feedback and refine the experience.

System requirements: macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later. Compatible with both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

WordPress Workspace for Mac is available now in beta.
