AI agents

An AI agent that edits posts through the API has no browser tab, so it never checks in. Instead, each time it saves a post, Presence API shows it working on that post for the next 75 seconds.

How it works #

• wp_presence_is_agent_user( $user_id ) decides who is an agent. It is a filter, false by default, and the plugin answers it with wpai_is_agent_user() when that function exists.
• A save by a person writes nothing. Neither does saving an auto-draft or trashing a post.
• The admin bar and Active Posts label the agent, and the Editors column names it in its avatar's tooltip. The editor count behind wp_presence_collaboration_started leaves it out.
• To appear before its first save, or to stay present between saves, an agent writes its own row with a short expires_in and renews it. See Agents in the README.
