In Episode 31 of WP Legends, we chat with Zach Hendershot, Founder of Miruni, the AI-driven platform revolutionizing how WordPress agencies handle client edit requests.

With over 25 years of experience in enterprise SaaS and product design, Zach built Miruni to solve one of the biggest agency headaches, managing endless, unclear client feedback.

Compatible with Gutenberg, Elementor, Breakdance, and other page builders, Miruni is designed to cut through workflow bottlenecks and give agencies back their time. In many cases, it saves teams up to 80% of their editing time, turning what once took hours into minutes. Zach also shares how Miruni balances automation with a human-in-the-loop approach, ensuring full professional control over every change.

Whether you’re a freelancer, an agency, or an enterprise team, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how AI is transforming WordPress workflows and client collaboration.
