Antimanual Builder is a truly AI-powered, drag-and-drop visual page builder that brings a Replit/Lovable-style website building experience to WordPress. Describe the page you want in plain language and get a complete, editable layout back — then keep refining it by chat or by hand.
It’s a full-screen design canvas for native WordPress pages: no Gutenberg, no separate “builder” post type, and no lock-in. Every page you create is a regular WordPress page post, so your content stays portable and works with your theme, permalinks, and other plugins.
Build pages with AI. Generate whole layouts from a prompt, ask for changes conversationally, and migrate existing pages with AI assistance — all inside the editor. You have two ways to power the AI:
WordPress AI Connectors (WordPress 7.0+) — point Builder at the AI provider built into WordPress core for one-shot page generation, with nothing extra to install.
The free Antimanual companion plugin — connect your own provider and API key to unlock the live editor chat, knowledge base, and conversational refinement. Works with OpenAI , Google Gemini , Anthropic , xAI Grok , DeepSeek , and OpenCode Zen .
Or build entirely by hand. Every page is fully editable with drag-and-drop layout tools, inline canvas editing, reusable components, header/footer templates, and a responsive live preview. Manual editing and page migration work standalone — no API key and no external service required. Add AI when you want it; Builder keeps working fully without it.

Video Overview
Build With AI
Generate from a prompt — Describe the page you want and get a complete, fully editable layout back inside the editor.
Refine conversationally — Ask for changes in chat and watch the page update, section by section.
AI-assisted migration — Redesign or restructure an existing WordPress page with AI help.
Two AI sources — Use the built-in WordPress AI Connectors (WordPress 7.0+) for one-shot generation, or the free Antimanual companion plugin for the full chat and knowledge-base experience.
Bring your own provider — Through Antimanual, works with OpenAI , Google Gemini , Anthropic , xAI Grok , DeepSeek , and OpenCode Zen .
Your keys, your control — Builder reads the provider, model, and API key you configure in the Antimanual companion plugin; keys are never managed or exposed by Builder itself.
Build Visually
Full-screen visual editor — A distraction-free canvas for native WordPress pages, with no Gutenberg required.
Drag-and-drop & inline editing — Arrange sections and edit text directly on the canvas, entirely without AI.
Structured block system — Layout, content, and advanced blocks power both manual editing and generated pages.
Responsive preview — Check layouts in Desktop, Tablet, Large Mobile, and Small Mobile widths before you publish.
Code editor tabs — Inspect and tweak HTML, CSS, and JavaScript alongside the visual canvas.
Undo/Redo — Full editing history with keyboard shortcuts.
Version history — Every save keeps the previous version, restorable from a History panel.
Crash recovery — Unsaved changes are backed up in your browser and offered back if the tab closes before you save.
Reuse & Scale
Component library — Save any section as a reusable component and insert it on any page, with live previews, search, and category filters.
Push updates to components — Update a saved component and roll the change out to the pages that use it, while leaving hand-edited copies alone.
Header & footer templates — Build and assign reusable templates through a visual picker with live thumbnails.
Design Defaults — Set the tone, design system, typography, spacing, corners, and brand colors applied to new pages.
Bring In Existing Content
Page migration — Migrate an existing WordPress page into Builder as a faithful, fully editable copy — replace the original or keep a copy.
CDN libraries — Attach external CSS and JavaScript libraries from a CDN, controlling load position and async/defer behavior.
HTML & ZIP import (Pro) — Import a single HTML file with its assets, or analyze and create whole pages from a ZIP project, with chunked upload and a progress bar for large sites.
Dynamic content binding (Pro) — Bind a section to your real site content so it updates automatically, or turn a section into a live navigation menu.
How It Works
01Open AM Builder from the WordPress admin menu and create a new page (or migrate an existing one).
02Build your layout with drag-and-drop sections, saved components, and inline editing — or, with the Antimanual plugin active, describe it in chat.
03Preview across device sizes, then publish. The page is a standard WordPress page, live on your site with your theme’s header and footer.
Generated and imported assets are stored in wp-content/uploads/antimanual-builder/ .
External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services.
OpenAI API
Powers AI chatbot, knowledge base embeddings, and all content generation features when OpenAI is the selected provider. Your WordPress post content (for KB indexing), visitor chat messages, and admin-configured prompts are sent to OpenAI via your own API key. Data is transmitted only when you trigger an AI action or a visitor interacts with the chatbot/search.
OpenAI — Terms — Privacy
Google Gemini API
One of Antimanual’s supported AI providers. The same categories of data described for OpenAI above are sent to Google Gemini via your own API key, only when Gemini is the active provider.
Google AI (Gemini) — Terms — Privacy
Additional AI Providers
Depending on the provider you configure, Antimanual may also send your WordPress post content (for knowledge base indexing where supported), visitor chat messages, and admin-configured prompts to Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenCode Zen only when you trigger an AI action or a visitor interacts with the chatbot or AI search.

Spider Themes Notice Service
The plugin periodically fetches an admin notice from Spider Themes servers to display important announcements to site administrators. Only a standard HTTP GET request is made — no personal data, site content, or visitor information is ever transmitted.

Placehold.co (Placeholder Images)
AI-generated pages may include placeholder images served by Placehold.co.
What it does: Provides temporary placeholder images (solid-color rectangles with optional text) that appear in AI-generated page layouts until the user replaces them with real images.
What is sent: The visitor’s browser requests images from placehold.co when viewing a page that still contains placeholder image URLs. Only the requested image dimensions and optional label text are included in the URL — no user data or personal information is transmitted by the plugin itself.
When: Only when a generated page contains unreplaced placeholder image URLs and a visitor (or the admin previewing the page) loads that page.
Fonts
The plugin does not load fonts from Google Fonts, Bunny Fonts, Adobe Typekit, Font Awesome, or any other third-party font CDN.
The editor UI uses the operating system’s native font stack ( -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif ).
AI-generated pages are instructed to use the same system font stack. The AI is explicitly told not to add @import rules or <link> tags pointing at remote font hosts.
As a defensive measure, any @import or <link> that references a known font CDN is stripped from saved page CSS/HTML on the server before it is persisted, even if the AI model ignores the prompt.
If a user imports their own HTML (e.g. via the ZIP importer), the original markup — including any font references the user authored themselves — is preserved as-is, because that content is owned by the user, not generated by the plugin.
Spider Themes Helpdesk (support assistant)
AM Builder admin pages show a chat button that opens the AM Builder documentation assistant hosted on the Spider Themes helpdesk (helpdesk.spiderthemes.net), so you can search the docs and ask questions without leaving WordPress.
Nothing is loaded from the helpdesk until you press the chat button. Hovering over the button only opens a network connection to the helpdesk so the chat loads faster; no data is sent. When you open it, the assistant is loaded in an iframe from https://helpdesk.spiderthemes.net/iframe-assistant/ , and your browser sends the product name and the documentation section to show. If you opted in through the Freemius opt-in screen and you are the administrator who opted in, your name and email address are also sent so the support chat is pre-filled. Messages you type in the chat are sent to the helpdesk to be answered.
You can turn the assistant off under AM Builder → Settings → General → Hide Support Chat (or with add_filter( 'ambld_support_assistant_enabled', '__return_false' ); ).

Security / Arbitrary Code
The builder does not support arbitrary PHP, JavaScript, or CSS insertion. There is no code-editor UI that accepts raw CSS, JS, or PHP and no REST endpoint that persists author-supplied stylesheets or scripts.
No arbitrary CSS: Page CSS is generated programmatically from block style values and from a structured styleMap of selector/property pairs collected through the visual editor’s form controls. The plugin does not store free-form CSS authored by users.
No arbitrary JavaScript: Only hard-coded interactive scripts that ship with the plugin (tabs, accordion, counter, etc.) are emitted, and they are gated on the corresponding block being present on the page. There is no input surface for user-supplied JavaScript.
No arbitrary PHP: There is no PHP code input in the UI and no REST endpoint that accepts or executes PHP supplied by users.
REST sanitization: The customCss / customJs request parameters are stripped from all save endpoints ( /wp-json/ambld/v1/pages , /components , /templates ). Inline <style> , <script> , and on*= event-handler

Frequently asked questions.
How do I build my first page?
Open AM Builder from the WordPress admin menu, create a new page, and start adding sections with the drag-and-drop tools. You can edit text inline on the canvas, insert saved components, preview across device sizes, and publish — all without an AI key or any external service.
Do I need the Antimanual plugin?
No. Antimanual Builder works fully standalone for manual editing, direct migration, HTML/ZIP import, components, and templates. The separate Antimanual plugin is needed only for the optional AI features — it connects your AI provider and sets up the knowledge base used for generation, refinement, and AI-based migration.
Do I need an AI API key?
Only for the optional AI features such as generation, refinement, and AI-based migration. Manual editing, direct migration, components, templates, and HTML import work without an AI key.
Which AI provider should I use?
When the Antimanual plugin is installed, Builder uses whichever provider you have configured in it. Supported providers include OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, and OpenCode Zen.
Where do I configure AI providers?
In the optional Antimanual plugin. When it is installed and active, Builder reads the active provider, model, and API key status from there. Without it, the AI features are simply unavailable but the rest of Builder works.
Can I use this alongside other page builders?
Yes, but Builder edits native WordPress pages rather than a separate builder page post type. Use migration intentionally on the pages you want Builder to manage.
What happens to my pages if I deactivate the plugin?
Your pages remain in WordPress because they are standard page posts. The Builder editing layer is what’s removed, but the published content stays part of your site. Uninstalling cleans up what the plugin created while keeping your content (pages, templates, designs, chat history) unless you opt in to full removal.
Will my pages match my theme?
Yes. Builder pages render as native WordPress pages, so they appear inside your active theme with its header and footer. You can also assign your own Builder header/footer templates per page.
Does it load any external fonts or trackers?
No. The editor and generated pages use your operating system’s native font stack, and the plugin does not load fonts from any third-party CDN. AI providers are contacted only when you explicitly trigger an AI action, and only if you’ve installed the optional Antimanual plugin. See the “External services” section for full details.
Where are generated assets stored?
Generated/imported assets are stored in wp-content/uploads/antimanual-builder/ .
