AI can help diagnose and patch problems quickly, but applying AI-generated changes directly to a live store feels risky.</p> <p>So Hermes is designed around a safer loop:</p> <ol> <li>reproduce the issue in a sandbox,</li> <li>diagnose the likely cause,</li> <li>propose a fix,</li> <li>create a review packet,</li> <li>keep rollback available.</li> </ol> <p>I recorded a short demo showing Hermes on a broken WooCommerce checkout flow:</p> <p> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3rpm_dDf56o"> </iframe> </p> <p>I’m still early and looking for feedback from WordPress/WooCommerce developers, freelancers, agencies, and store owners.</p> <p>Would you trust an AI repair workflow if it stayed sandbox-first and rollback-first?</p> <p>What kind of WooCommerce breakages should it handle first?</p> wordpress woocommerce ai devtools
