AI-first WordPress plugin for content processing workflows with a visual pipeline builder, conversational chat interface, REST API, and extensibility via handlers and tools.

Architecture

Badges intentionally omitted for brevity.

Features

• Services layer architecture (@since v0.4.0) with OOP service managers for 3x performance improvement over filter-based actions.
• Base class architecture for steps, handlers, and settings to reduce duplication and provide shared behavior.
• React-based admin interface (built with WordPress components) that uses REST API integration.
• Modern state management patterns (TanStack Query + Zustand for server/client state separation).
• Tool-first AI with a centralized tool discovery and execution layer.
• Modular FilesRepository and WordPress shared components for file handling and publishing.
• Platform-agnostic EngineData with WordPressPublishHelper for WordPress-specific operations.
• REST API surface for managing flows, pipelines, files, tools, settings, chat, and monitoring.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.2+, PHP 8.0+
• Action Scheduler (for scheduled flow execution) for deployments that use scheduling
• Composer for development workflows

Quick Start

Development

1. Clone into /wp-content/plugins/datamachine/
2. Run composer install
3. Activate the plugin in WordPress
4. Configure an AI provider at Settings → Data Machine

Production

1. Run ./build.sh to create a distributable ZIP
2. Install via the WordPress admin interface
3. Configure AI provider and tools

Configuration highlights

• OAuth providers and API keys are configured via Settings → Data Machine → Tool Configuration
• Tool configuration and enablement control which external services the site will use

Programmatic usage (illustrative)

// Create pipeline and run a flow using services layer (illustrative)
$pipeline_manager = new \DataMachine\Services\PipelineManager();
$flow_manager = new \DataMachine\Services\FlowManager();

$pipeline_result = $pipeline_manager->create('My Pipeline');
$flow_result = $flow_manager->create($pipeline_result['pipeline_id'], 'My Flow');

// Execute flow via REST API
do_action('datamachine_run_flow_now', $flow_result['flow_id'], 'manual');

REST API

• The plugin exposes REST endpoints under /wp-json/datamachine/v1/ for executing flows, managing pipelines and flows, uploading files, and monitoring jobs. See API Overview documentation for endpoint details.

Available handlers & tools

• Fetch sources: files, RSS, Reddit, Google Sheets, WordPress (local, media, API)
• Publish destinations: Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook, WordPress, Google Sheets
• Update handlers: WordPress Update with source URL matching
• Tools: Google Search, Local Search, Web Fetch, WordPress Post Reader, and others. Tool availability depends on configuration and enabled providers.

Development

composer install    # Development setup
composer test       # Run tests (PHPUnit configured)
./build.sh          # Production build to /dist/datamachine.zip
