What is Oxygen?
Oxygen 6.2 beta adds an MCP server, making the WordPress page builder AI-agent controllable
Oxygen is deep in the 6.2 beta cycle (now at Beta 8), with the headlining feature being an MCP Server — meaning AI agents can directly drive Oxygen's page builder via the Model Context Protocol. Alongside the beta track, stable releases 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 addressed a security issue in the Design Library import flow and a regression fix. The 4.9.8 RC 1 branch keeps the legacy Classic version compatible with WooCommerce 11.
What is Savah?
A SAFe planning tool steadily widening from boards into analytics and resourcing
Savah is a Program Increment / SAFe planning tool built around the Program Board. Recent work pushes past board mechanics into configurability (custom fields, screen layouts), a dedicated reporting Dashboard, dependency health tracking, and team capacity planning.

Oxygen
6.3DESIGN
Oxygen 6.2 beta adds an MCP server, making the WordPress page builder AI-agent controllable
◆ Current state
Oxygen is deep in the 6.2 beta cycle (now at Beta 8), with the headlining feature being an MCP Server — meaning AI agents can directly drive Oxygen's page builder via the Model Context Protocol. Alongside the beta track, stable releases 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 addressed a security issue in the Design Library import flow and a regression fix. The 4.9.8 RC 1 branch keeps the legacy Classic version compatible with WooCommerce 11.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP Server is the most directional move Oxygen has made in recent history. Once GA, it puts Oxygen in the category of AI-agentic design tools — a page builder that an LLM can compose, edit, or debug programmatically. Beta 3's UI localization signals that international market expansion is happening in the same release, broadening the addressable user base alongside the AI capability.
◆ Prediction
Oxygen 6.2 GA is the immediate next move; the question is whether MCP integration depth expands post-launch to cover template generation, responsive breakpoints, and component discovery — the scenarios where AI-driven page building would actually save time.
Savah
0.0DESIGN
A SAFe planning tool steadily widening from boards into analytics and resourcing
◆ Current state
Savah is a Program Increment / SAFe planning tool built around the Program Board. Recent work pushes past board mechanics into configurability (custom fields, screen layouts), a dedicated reporting Dashboard, dependency health tracking, and team capacity planning.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is toward a more complete enterprise-agile platform: not just visualizing PI work but configuring it to a team's model, reporting on it, and planning resources against it. Each release fills a gap a SAFe coach would otherwise solve with spreadsheets.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued depth on reporting and resource planning — likely more dashboard widgets and capacity/forecasting refinements that build on the recently shipped Dashboard module.
