What is Oxygen?

Oxygen 6.2 is final: AI agents can now build and manage Oxygen sites over MCP.

Oxygen is a WordPress site builder from the same team as Breakdance. Version 6.2 left beta on October 26 with an MCP server, so AI agents can build and manage sites through prompts. 6.2.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. Before the final release came Beta 9 and RC 1 in September, alongside fixes for WordPress 7.1 in the Gutenberg add-on and WooCommerce 11 in Oxygen Classic.

What is Visily?

AI wireframing tool closing the loop from prompt to design to code

Visily's dated update posts show a steady march up the fidelity ladder. March added code generation for designs, a Plan Mode for ideation ahead of AI generation, and unsupported font replacement on Figma imports. February brought Figma import itself and blur effects; January added Design Instructions for consistent output and a Deep Design mode. Earlier releases covered shadows, a browser capture overlay, an AI Content Filler and interactive dropdowns.

Oxygen 6.2 is final: AI agents can now build and manage Oxygen sites over MCP.

◆ Current state

Oxygen is a WordPress site builder from the same team as Breakdance. Version 6.2 left beta on October 26 with an MCP server, so AI agents can build and manage sites through prompts. 6.2.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. Before the final release came Beta 9 and RC 1 in September, alongside fixes for WordPress 7.1 in the Gutenberg add-on and WooCommerce 11 in Oxygen Classic.

◆ Where it's heading

Oxygen and Breakdance shipped the same agent capability on the same day, so the vendor is betting both builders on agents. The legacy Classic and Gutenberg products still get compatibility releases.

◆ Prediction

Expect 6.2.x patches for the MCP server and WooCommerce edge cases; what comes after agent control is unclear from the entries.

AI wireframing tool closing the loop from prompt to design to code

◆ Current state

Visily's dated update posts show a steady march up the fidelity ladder. March added code generation for designs, a Plan Mode for ideation ahead of AI generation, and unsupported font replacement on Figma imports. February brought Figma import itself and blur effects; January added Design Instructions for consistent output and a Deep Design mode. Earlier releases covered shadows, a browser capture overlay, an AI Content Filler and interactive dropdowns.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc runs from making generated designs look right to making them useful downstream. Design Instructions and Deep Design addressed consistency and polish; Figma import opened a migration path in; code generation opens an exit path out. Plan Mode is the interesting addition — separating intent from generation, rather than treating one prompt as the whole brief.

◆ Prediction

With import from Figma and export to code both in place, expect the round trip to tighten — keeping generated code and design in sync is the obvious unsolved half, though the entries do not describe work on it yet.
