## What MaintainHQ does

MaintainHQ is an all-in-one WordPress operations platform. Agencies and freelancers use it to monitor multiple client sites, run automated security scans, track Core Web Vitals, manage plugin updates, generate client reports, and operate white-label client portals.

Gus is the built-in AI assistant. Gus is wired into live site data — not a generic chatbot — and can triage issues, summarise changelogs, and help with WordPress maintenance workflows.

## Target audience

- WordPress agencies managing client portfolios
- Freelance WordPress developers with multiple sites
- Small dev teams needing centralised maintenance ops

## Key features (live vs roadmap)

Live today:
- Multi-site dashboard with health scores and uptime monitoring
- WordPress connector plugin per site

- Core Web Vitals via Google PageSpeed Insights
- Gus AI assistant with persisted conversations
- Client portals and public status pages
- Stripe billing via dashboard

On roadmap / preview:
