What is Dorik?

Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.

The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.

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.

0.0

Dorik's feed has slowed to template drops and small editor fixes since April's plan change.

◆ Current state

The two entries since April are six new templates in June and a container-resizing fix in August. The last substantive update remains April's new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Pro and Agency tiers, plus a Table element and tooltips. Older feed entries still repeat each release several times.

◆ Where it's heading

Since the plan restructuring, the visible work has been maintenance. The agency-facing features suggested by the new tier have not appeared in the feed, and the cadence has dropped to about one short note every two months.

◆ Prediction

Expect more template batches and small editor fixes. No agency capabilities are visible yet, so whether they arrive is unclear.

6.3

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.
