What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is Oxygen?
The agent-driven builder is real; the beta train fixing it is still running.
Oxygen spent the 6.2 cycle opening its object model to outside AI agents, and is now four betas deep into stabilising it. The headline capability — an agent creating and editing pages, templates, Components, selectors, variables and site settings — shipped in July and has not changed since; everything after it has been correction. Beta 3 added the other substantive item of the cycle, localisation, ending the requirement to build in English.

A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.
Oxygen
6.3DESIGN
The agent-driven builder is real; the beta train fixing it is still running.
◆ Current state
Oxygen spent the 6.2 cycle opening its object model to outside AI agents, and is now four betas deep into stabilising it. The headline capability — an agent creating and editing pages, templates, Components, selectors, variables and site settings — shipped in July and has not changed since; everything after it has been correction. Beta 3 added the other substantive item of the cycle, localisation, ending the requirement to build in English.
◆ Where it's heading
The release rhythm has settled into long beta trains punctuated by one directional release, and 6.2's beta run is now longer than 6.1's was. Fix areas named in the latest beta — builder, Gutenberg, MCP server — show where the agent integration is costing stability: the MCP surface is being debugged in public alongside the ordinary builder regressions. Localisation arriving mid-beta rather than at 6.2's announcement suggests scope is still being added to the train.
◆ Prediction
With Beta 4 listing fixes rather than features, an RC is the next expected step before 6.2 goes final. Whether the MCP server keeps appearing in bug-fix lists is the thing to watch — it is the part of 6.2 with no prior release history to lean on.
