When you install WordPress on your Hostinger hosting plan, several plugins are automatically added to your WordPress admin panel under the Hostinger menu: Hostinger Tools, Hostinger Easy Onboarding, Hostinger Ecommerce, Hostinger Reach, AI Content Creator, and AI Website Builder. Each plugin serves a different purpose — this article explains what they do and how to use them.

Home includes a prompt box where you can type a request or select a suggested action, such as Search a blog post or Get a list of orders. Suggested actions update based on your site and its installed products. Select the refresh icon next to the suggestions to see different options.
