# What can the AI assistant do on my Faaaster sites?

The AI assistant can clear the cache, restore a backup, change a domain's DNS, update WordPress and its plugins, and troubleshoot a site directly. It does nothing without your approval: each action is proposed to you, and only goes ahead once you've approved it.

## Nothing runs without your approval

The assistant **proposes**, you **approve**, it **executes**. An action appears in the conversation, you click **Approve**, and its progress is shown: "Action submitted — running…", then "Action executed".

> **This is the key point**: the assistant never changes your site on its own initiative. Until you've approved, nothing goes ahead.

## What it can do

Every change goes through your approval:

| Action | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Clear cache** | Purges the site's WordPress cache and server cache. |
| **Restore a backup** | From the backups it has identified as restorable. |
| **Change a domain's DNS** | Applies a set of records, after a safety snapshot. |
| **Restore a DNS snapshot** | Reverts to the previous DNS state. |

On top of these come supervised **WordPress actions** — updates to WordPress, plugins and themes, installing or activating a plugin, and a catalog of operations classified as safe — and **site configuration changes** (PHP settings, cache, security rules), approved the same way.

When these actions aren't enough — a PHP error, a conflict between plugins, a page broken after an update — the assistant can offer **troubleshooting directly on the site**: with your approval, it examines and fixes the affected files itself, after taking a **restorable backup**.

It can also prepare a **payment link** to settle the organization's outstanding balance: nothing is charged until you pay.

When it can't resolve your request, it offers you a **Forward your request to the team** card: you review your message, add to it if needed, then click **Send to the team**. The team also sees what the assistant has already checked, and the conversation continues in the support window.

> **To act on WordPress, the assistant has to use an identity.** It shows you the numbered list of the site's administrators and asks you to choose one. **Reads**, on the other hand, never go through this step.
