Features

Specter is the workflow and control layer for your content. Connect Shopify, WordPress, Ghost, or Webflow in the browser, run AI recipes across your whole archive, review every change as a diff, and publish back — without a CMS admin panel that was only ever designed to open one post at a time.

That sentence sounds simple. The features below are what make it hold up across thousands of posts, four platforms, and the kind of bulk work a browser admin was never built for. Subscribe now and your workspace opens with 500 free credits.

Full-site context for AI

Every post, page, and product you connect lands in one workspace as clean, structured content — title, body, tags, slug, status, dates, excerpts, feature image. That single shape unlocks the most useful thing Specter does: the AI runs with your whole site as context. When a recipe rewrites a category it can match the tone of the surrounding archive; when it fixes internal links it can see every page that actually exists; when it audits SEO it can spot the duplicate intros you’ve written for years. A CMS API only ever serves one post at a time — Specter gives the model the whole archive.

Bulk operations you actually review

Running a global update through a CMS admin is friction by design: the editor opens one post, the API rate-limits and times out, and nothing gives you a rollback when a run fails halfway. Specter runs the pass as a recipe across your connected content, then shows you the result as a diff before anything ships — which posts would change, exactly what changes in each, and anything flagged as a conflict. Approve the ones that are right; send the rest back. Things that become an afternoon instead of a month: regenerating every empty meta description from the post body, refreshing stale claims across a 3,000-post blog, adding a disclosure or CTA to every post in a category, enforcing a style guide site-wide.

Everything in one workspace

Specter handles Shopify, WordPress, Ghost, and Webflow side by side. Ghost posts and pages; Shopify articles, pages, and products (description-first); WordPress posts and pages; Webflow CMS collection items (beta). Run the same recipe across a Shopify storefront blog and a Ghost newsletter from one place, review both, publish both — instead of logging into four admins and doing each by hand.

Two-way sync

Both ends stay live. Edit in Specter and the change publishes back; edit in the CMS and Specter pulls it in. Every record round-trips with its metadata preserved, so the workspace and the live site stay in step rather than drifting apart.

Review before publish

Before anything touches your live site, Specter shows you a dry-run diff: created, updated, deleted, and conflicts — with the exact changes. This is the safety net that makes bulk work survivable. You ran a recipe over 1,500 posts; the diff looks right on 1,490 and wrong on 10. You catch those 10 before they hit production, send them back, and ship the clean 1,490. Every publish keeps a snapshot behind it, so reverting is a decision, not a recovery project.

Conflict-safe

When both you and the CMS changed the same record since the last sync, Specter doesn’t silently overwrite either side. It pauses, shows both versions, and asks — or follows the default you set. If you work alongside a team editing in the CMS, this is what keeps the two sides from clobbering each other.

Credits, not lock-in

Specter isn’t an AI and doesn’t charge you per token to write. Browsing your content and reviewing diffs are free; only AI runs spend credits, and every workspace opens with 500 free — enough to see exactly what a recipe does across your archive. Your content stays yours: connections are read-and-write to your own CMS, and nothing here makes your site harder to leave.

Prefer it on your own machine?

If you’d rather run the engine locally — your content as plain .md files on disk, edited with your own tools, AI, or scripts, with nothing routed through our servers — that’s the desktop and open-source edition. Same two-way sync, dry-run preview, and conflict handling, running entirely on your Mac.
