Assistant is a new way to work with WordPress. It's an every day productivity tool that lets you navigate your WordPress site and handle quick tasks without needing to go to the WordPress Admin area. For example, you can quickly find a page or post and update its title or slug. You can upload media and navigate to attachment pages.

Assistant is an open source project from the same team that makes Beaver Builder. It's free and being developed in public. Try it and let us know what you think!

**Note** - This is an early preview release. A full 1.0 release of Assistant will be coming later this year.

While we do not currently offer a developer API, that is on our roadmap for the 1.0 release. We'll be sharing more details about that as we get closer to that milestone.
