Managed WordPress hosting by Automattic with staging, CDN and the Pressable control panel

Ten days of bulk operations, then the AI assistant got the keys to multi-site access control.

Current state
Pressable is shipping into MyPressable at a pace of roughly one feature every two days, and the run is unusually coherent: bulk plugin install and activation, bulk theme install and delete, bulk site deletion with multi-layer confirmation gates, DDEV setup managed from the panel, and two separate additions to the AI assistant's collaborator management capabilities. Note that the feed publishes title-only excerpts with no body text, so the titles are the entire record.
Where it's heading
The product is being rebuilt around fleet management rather than single-site administration. Every bulk operation added in this window assumes the customer runs many sites and does the same thing to all of them, and the confirmation gates on bulk deletion show the team is aware of what that leverage cuts both ways. Running alongside it, the AI assistant has moved in two weeks from collaborator management tools to multi-site collaborator management — from advising to acting across the fleet.
Prediction
Expect the assistant's reach to keep extending across the bulk operations already built, since the panel now has fleet-wide primitives for plugins, themes and sites that an assistant could invoke the same way it now invokes collaborator management.

    Feature Release: Multi-Site Collaborator Management via AI Assistant

    ⚡ SPARK

    The AI assistant's scope crosses from a single site to the whole fleet, managing collaborators across multiple sites ten days after gaining collaborator tools at all. It is the point where the assistant stops being a per-site convenience and becomes a way to change who has access to many sites at once.

    Feature Release: Pressable DDEV Setup and Management Integrated Directly into MyPressable

    Brings DDEV setup and management directly into MyPressable, connecting local WordPress development environments to the hosting panel. A different axis from the bulk work — reaching toward the developer's machine rather than across the fleet.

    Feature Release: Bulk Site Deletion Tool with Multi-Layer Confirmation Gates

    Bulk site deletion, shipped with multi-layer confirmation gates named in the release title itself. The most destructive of the fleet operations and the only one whose safeguards were worth advertising.

    Feature Release: Bulk Theme Installation & Deletion Operations

    Extends bulk operations from plugins to themes, adding fleet-wide install and delete two days after the plugin equivalent. The pattern of filling in one WordPress asset type at a time is clear across the window.
