Features
Everything below ships inside Ariana — no plugin to find, no subscription to stack, no third-party contract to sign. Turn a feature on and it is simply there; turn it off and it leaves zero trace.
01 · Your intelligent staff
A chat inside the panel that does the work — not a sidebar that suggests it. Ask in any language; approve before anything happens.
Write and publish articles with a generated cover and a real SEO score, design and install complete themes from a description or an uploaded brand-book PDF, add site languages, configure listings, change settings — all from one chat.
Every request becomes a reviewed plan in a dialog. Nothing is applied until you press Apply — with a progress bar and a locked screen while it runs, and a bell notification when it’s ready.
Every applied task keeps a before-snapshot and can be undone with one click. Even a failed multi-step task rolls back the steps it completed.
A closed catalogue of read-only site lookups — latest posts, counts, categories, menus, users, configuration — so “what’s our newest article?” is answered from your actual site, with a visible “Checked site data” note. It is instructed to never invent features Ariana doesn’t have.
Edit or trash any post or page, manage categories and tags, create and update users, manage redirects, tune page SEO — every operation permission-gated, escalation-checked and recorded.
Structurally unable to modify Ariana itself or run code. Permissions are honored at proposal, validation and again at approval; every task from every user lands in a permanent Assistant Activity record. Switched off, it leaves zero trace.

02 · Publishing while you sleep
The Assistant on a schedule, with nobody signed in. Write the rule once; Ariana keeps the cadence.
“Three ~1,200-word articles a day in News and Reviews, published immediately.” Ariana generates, sanitises, SEO-scores and publishes on cadence — rotating through the rule’s categories and steering away from titles the site already has.
Every run is an ordinary Assistant task: the same closed operations, the same sanitizer, the same permanent record. Permissions are re-checked live at each auto-approval — a demoted account pauses its rule.
A five-minute cron with heartbeat — or a no-cron fallback that rides on admin requests. Daily quotas spread across even time slots, counted by attempt so a broken key can’t burn the account; three consecutive failures pause the rule and notify the owner.
Per-article designed covers, a default cover from your media library — or real AI photographic covers once Graphist is switched on.
03 · Articles that speak
Any text becomes a playable episode — in its own language, on ordinary shared hosting.
Two AI hosts discussing the piece — NotebookLM-style — or a single narrating voice, generated through Google Gemini multi-speaker speech models with a plain AI Studio key. Episodes land in the media library, playable and addressable anywhere.
An “Audio version” button in the editor. The writer listens first, then attaches; readers get a streaming player above the article. Removing it restores the article exactly — the player is injected at render time.
Generation runs in small bounded steps with one provider call per poll — no queue worker. MP3 where FFmpeg exists, pure-PHP WAV where it doesn’t. Rate limits pause a run instead of destroying it.
Live status with percentages and pause countdowns, failures with the reason and model named, a cost preview before you generate (“about 4 speech requests”), and a three-state connection check that never calls a rate-limited key dead.
Themes place the player with one token, badge audio articles on cards, or build their own audio cards from the episode’s duration, title and URL.
04 · The house illustrator
Photographic covers and standalone images, drawn on demand and filed in the media library like any upload.
The article’s title and summary — or your own description in any language — becomes a precise English scene brief, then a finished image. A refused render never fails an article: a designed fallback cover steps in.
Cloudflare Workers AI — about a hundred FLUX images a day on the permanent free allowance — or Google Gemini at cents per image. Both with encrypted credentials.
Chat and Auto Pilot covers, a Graphist page tracking every image’s status and failure reason, and a “Generate Image” button right in the editor’s Featured-image box that goes from title to applied cover end to end.
“Check connection now” performs a real, smallest-possible generation. A rate-limited refusal reports as limited — proof the key works — never as a dead key.
05 · Found and preferred
From a Yoast-grade analyzer on every save to an optimizer that rewrites — with all the invisible infrastructure handled for you.
One button reviews the article as it sits in your editor and proposes a measurably better version — before/after scores, every metadata change, surgical section edits. Apply only fills the form; Save remains the single write path.
A rewrite that drops an image, link or heading is discarded. A proposal that can’t beat the current score is refused. Published slugs and your focus keyphrase are never touched.
Internal links come from your site’s own article inventory — invented URLs are unwrapped automatically. Image ALT is rewritten to describe the image and carry the keyphrase, under a shared budget that prevents stuffing.
Theme pages get the full SEO brain posts have — focus keyphrase, live SERP preview, scores and findings — measured as the page actually renders, under landing-page rules like exactly-one-H1.
Sitemap index with image sitemap, robots.txt and llms.txt, canonicals, reciprocal hreflang, Open Graph, JSON-LD graphs — Article, FAQPage, Product, Organization and publisher — breadcrumbs translated in 26 languages, and IndexNow instant indexing.
One toggle puts Google’s official “add as preferred source” button on every article, so regular readers can tell Google to show them more of your stories. Position selectable, CLS-safe, zero trace while off.
Fifteen schema.org types — LocalBusiness, Product, Event, FAQ, Recipe, Job posting, Course and more — filled in as ordinary fields on any page or article, as many per page as you need. An entry missing what Google requires is held back, never published broken.
Open Graph and X title, description, image and card type, kept separate from the search wording. Left empty, it uses the search wording; a page without an image of its own falls back to the site’s default.
Categories and tags carry their own SEO title, meta description, canonical and robots — per language — and a category can have an image your theme shows at the top of its archive.

06 · Switching sides
A complete migration in an afternoon — that arrives stronger than it left.
From an SQL dump and a ZIP of uploads: articles, authors, categories, tags, media, and your Yoast or Rank Math settings — %%title%%-style variables resolved. Runs in shared-hosting-safe slices; an interrupted import resumes exactly where it stopped.
Where the old permalink structure is reproducible, articles keep their original addresses outright. Everything else answers a permanent 301 — posts, archives, upload files — so Google rankings survive the move intact.
Missing meta descriptions, keyphrases and summaries are backfilled from each article’s own text. Every image is recompressed under its original filename and URL, and ALT text is derived from the export’s own data — camera artifacts like IMG_2022… rejected.
Change the site’s address and every stored reference is rewritten in one pass, with a read-only preview first. A moved site detects its stale caches on the first request and fixes itself; Site health covers the rest.
07 · Every language is home
Twenty-six languages, each with its own URL, its own direction, its own typography — and no cookies deciding what a reader sees.
Per-language prefixes with the default language at the root; non-canonical URLs redirect permanently. Caches keep working and search engines see exactly what visitors see. Translation groups drive hreflang, the switcher and the sitemap.
Persian, Arabic, Cyrillic and CJK slugs are never transliterated — exactly like WordPress — with four Persian normalizations, so keyboard-variant letters can never split a URL.
Persian and Pashto render Shamsi dates with Persian digits by default — pure arithmetic, no PHP intl extension required, even inside notification emails. Machine-readable dates stay ISO.
Site name, tagline, date format and calendar per language; categories and tags translated in place with their own indexed slugs; per-language menus and editorial guidelines.
The panel and the front end are fully right-to-left aware, and every built-in string — contact form, breadcrumbs, labels — ships translated in all 26 languages.
08 · Design as a contract
The only CMS that documents itself for AI — and refuses any theme that would break.
One button generates an AI-ready Theme Contract from the running installation — the real token list, the real URL shapes, only the features actually switched on. Paste it into any AI chat and have a theme built. This site is the proof.
Uploads are compiled and checked before anything touches disk, with errors named by file and line. Installed themes are recompiled automatically whenever the compiler improves, so fixes reach every site.
Themes declare their own queries — a strip of three on the home page and a river of twenty on /news, in one design — and their own forms, which Ariana executes end to end: validation in the sender’s language, a structured inbox, notification emails with attachments.
“Make the header darker” works: the Assistant edits your installed theme’s source under the live contract, keeps untouched files byte-identical, bumps the version, and validates the result like any upload.
Menus are edited in the panel with drag ordering and one level of nesting; items whose target is unpublished or deleted disappear automatically, so a public menu never links a 404. Themes seed menus once at install and never overwrite the operator’s edits.
09 · Features that install
A booking system, a member area, a calculator — any feature your site needs, installed from one zip, reviewed line by line, and gone without a trace when you switch it off.
A skill brings its own pages, its own tables, its own panel screens and its own settings — and touches nothing else. Upload the zip under Skills and it is live; this site’s website value calculator is one.
Every PHP file is parsed and checked before the package goes live. Forbidden functions, raw SQL, core tables and other skills’ code are refused, with the file, the line and the rule named.
On install a skill is signed with your site’s own key, and every file is checked against that signature each day. A package changed on disk is switched off, with the reason on its row.
If a skill throws, Ariana switches it off and the site keeps serving. Off means gone: no route, no page, no token, no scheduled task left behind.
A skill’s pages render inside the active theme’s own layout, header and footer, in every language the site publishes — so a new feature looks as if it had always been there.
Like the Theme Contract, one button writes an AI-ready Skill Contract for this exact site: the API, the rules and a complete worked example. Paste it into an AI chat and have a feature built.

10 · The daily craft
The unglamorous nine-tenths of publishing, done properly.
A grouped, sticky toolbar that follows you down long articles, an HTML code view, mod+S to save, follow/nofollow/sponsored link controls, and tables that keep their manners on phones.
Every article opens with an honest summary built from its own sentences — extractive, never paraphrased, no API key, no cost. Hand-write your own per post; the theme decides placement and shape.
WebP and WebM conversion, responsive sizes, folders, grid view with in-panel preview, metadata editable everywhere, custom filenames, HEIC photos, video re-encoding with quality sliders, audio with waveform cards — and the true upload limit computed and shown.
An automatic author box under every article and designed author pages with social profiles from 22 networks. FAQ entries render visibly at the end of the article, so the FAQPage markup matches what readers see — Google’s own requirement.
Ariana renders the complete working form — validation in the visitor’s language, storage, the owner’s notification — and the theme just places and styles it. Messages are stored before the email is sent, so an enquiry survives a wrong SMTP password.
Four local layers — a daily-rotating honeypot, signed one-time tickets, content signals, rate limits. No puzzles for real visitors, nothing silently deleted: filtered messages sit in a Spam tab with their score and exact signals, one click from restore.
An article can credit up to three people — its author and up to two co-publishers — each shown by your theme and credited in the article’s structured data.
Directory profiles can sit in several categories at once — shown by your theme as badges and filters, never as new addresses, so no URL ever changes.
The contact form and every form your theme declares land in one Messages inbox in the top bar — stored before any e-mail is sent, column by column, with uploads downloadable only from the panel.

11 · Open for business
A full shop subsystem behind one toggle — and zero trace while it’s off.
Products — simple and variable with options and variations — categories, cart, checkout, coupons, customer accounts and order management. Turn it off and no route, query or asset remains.
Zarinpal for Toman and Rial, PayPal for USD, EUR, GBP and twenty more currencies, plus bank transfer and cash on delivery — gateways chosen by the order’s currency, so a bilingual store offers each buyer the right one automatically.
One locked transaction: fresh stock checks, guarded coupons, immutable order snapshots, non-sequential order numbers, payment verified in integer minor units with idempotency keys — and a state machine that restocks exactly once.
Products in the sitemap with Product JSON-LD, cart and checkout kept out of the index, catalogue pages cached, order emails in the buyer’s own language.
12 · The bedrock
Green scores, hardened doors and boring, reliable operations — on the cheapest hosting you can find.
Full-page caching, Core Web Vitals automatics — image dimensions for CLS, priority hints for LCP — deferred scripts, preloaded fonts, and .htaccess compression that tests itself and rolls back if the site breaks.
Site-health cards run Google PageSpeed and GTmetrix against your home page every week — Lighthouse scores, LCP, CLS, TBT, report links. Opt-in, keys encrypted, and a failed refresh shows beside — never instead of — the last good result.
Site health checks every public address and counts it by its answer — 200, 301, 404, 500 — with the addresses behind each count one click away, and names the exact fix when a moved site comes up unstyled.
A self-hosted arithmetic challenge — no reCAPTCHA account, no third party — optional TOTP two-factor with recovery codes, escalating lockouts per account and per IP, and a security audit log with every attempt.
Imported, AI-generated and optimizer-rewritten HTML all pass the same sanitizer — scripts, event handlers and untrusted iframes stripped, legitimate markup kept. SVGs are cleaned; uploads are identified by content, not extension. Every stored credential is encrypted.
Every file plus the whole database, every night, keeping the last 7 (or 3, 14, 30). One-click restore with the panel available throughout, a safety copy before every restore — and it all works without cron.
Upload a small delta package, preview what changes, apply with per-file backup and rollback. Your .env, media and themes are never touched; cumulative packages upgrade from any accepted version.
A web-based setup wizard — no Composer, no SSH — a self-healing installer, and honest degradation everywhere: no cron, no queue worker, no FFmpeg, no Imagick, no intl? Each feature keeps working or says exactly why not, with the fix spelled out in Site health.
The full permalink model — blog base, site root, date structures, custom %postname% patterns — with every prior address redirecting automatically when you change it. A redirect manager with prefix rules moves whole branches at once.
