| Pros | Per-ability on or off switches for AI access; Each user connects with their own WordPress account and role; Activity log records every ability execution | Define API endpoints in wp-admin without code; Shortcode and block to show API data on pages; Encrypts some stored parameter values in the database |
| Cons | Needs WordPress 6.9 or newer and PHP 8.0 or newer; ChatGPT connector support is opt-in and labelled beta | XML support needs the PRO plugin; API to Posts and WooCommerce sync are separate paid extensions; Responses are fetched from the remote API on demand, so slow APIs slow pages |
